"Jon did an amazing install on my backsplash for my kitchen and was great to work with and very helpful. When he came to my house to give us a bid, he knew exactly what had to be done and quickly bid the job. He was on time and always let me know that he was on his way, When he came to my house to install my backsplash, he did not waste any time to get started and steadily worked his way through the project without any BS and really focused on the job at hand. He is honest, neat, cleans up when he is done for the day. He is very professional. He does great work and is the go to guy for tile installation - Highly recommend him."

"Great!! Excellent work. Took a very small space with just a toilet and made it an exceptionally nice 3/4 Bath with pedestal sink, ceramic floor tile and stall shower."
"We were very, very, pleased with the finished tile and paint work and impressed with their professionalism, great customer service. They were prompt to arrive on the job and if there was any delay for any reason, they called ahead to let us know why and then gave an update on their estimated time of arrival. Would hire again if needed for any future tile installation and/or interior painting for our house."
"After cleaning our carpets during a previous visit, Scott informed us that he also performs the service of cleaning and sealing floor tile. We had one room that he came back to do for us. This visit took about an hour, all tile and grout in the room and closet were cleaned and sealed. We were very pleased with his services, and will definitely use him again."
"Bryce did an amazing job designing and installing tile in my bathroom shower and floor. I would definitely recommend him. He made sure the tile was perfect!"
"Our tile backsplash came out great. Mark was a pleasure to work with! It's like a totally different kitchen and we couldn't be happier with the professional and friendly service provided."
"Nick was the guy that came out to give us an estimate and was exactly on time. Very professional and thorough explaining what needed to be done. He was back the next day, again right on time, which was replacing grout in shower floor and along kitchen wall where it meets tile backsplash. Turns out when the house was built 3 yrs ago the grout was never sealed which caused all the problems so nick sealed all the grout in the shower, bathroom floor, countertop etc. He did a great job matching the grout and the workmanship was done well. We are very pleased with this company."
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Yes, even if you’re being careful, removing tile can damage your drywall to some degree. However, you can minimize the damage done to it by eliminating a majority of the grout and taking your time prying each tile off. Also, it's worth noting that you might have more drywall damages to deal with if your tile is set into the mortar.
Yes. You can tile over tile if the old tile is in good shape, but this will also create a thicker floor. As a result, you may have to remove and readjust baseboards and other room trimmings and potentially even raise door heights to work with the higher floors. In most projects, it’s best to remove the old tile before installing a new tile floor.
Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.
Tile countertops can last up to 100 years when properly maintained. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are the most durable types and can last as long as natural stone countertops like granite, marble, and quartz. Tile countertops are much cheaper than natural stone countertops, making them an excellent option for a homeowner with a limited budget.
Terracotta tile is a broad term for clay tile that’s been fired in a kiln, and Saltillo tile is a specific type of terracotta tile produced in Saltillo, Mexico. In addition to Saltillo, terracotta tile comes in a range of other shades and styles. You’ll often find it used in buildings throughout Mexico, southern Europe, and the western United States.
