"Element Elite did a wonderful job installing a wall cut out pet door in our new home. They were flexible, very easy to work with, confident, trustworthy, and precise. The final cost was also reasonable and matched their estimate quote. I would recommend them to all my family/friends and will use them again myself if other needs arise!"

"Well. 1st plumber who looked at the system said shower valves needed to be replaced but that was a problem because there are no access panels. Chaub plummer advised valves were good quality and there was no need to replace. He replaced/installed new hardware and did a great job in a timely manner."

"Very good experience! Everyone is very nice and punctual. I was given a bid a year ago and was finally able to have the work done. Then kitchen tune up came in this year they were able to match last years estimate. Delivery time frames were very accurate and reasonable. The kitchen was useable everyday during the remodel. I had a cabinet that needed a new bottom, due to having been cut out by a previous owner to accommodate a taller fridge and never had been repaired. The cabinet was rebuilt and works and looks great. I also wanted access to a lazy Susan from the dining side of the kitchen, which was installed beautifully. My back splash isfantastic! I had decided on a tile mosaic, which took some great talent to cut and install. It turned out beautiful."

"Victor did exactly what was agreed upon. We had a problem with the bullnose tile not entirely covering wherte the vinyl coving was. He was knowledgeable how to solve it be cutting tile to cover and installing a metal piece on top. It made his time to get the job completed take quite a bit lpng"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a backsplash directly onto drywall, provided the wall is properly prepped, clean, and dry. For best results, especially in kitchen areas, your walls should be made of moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board. If your current wall isn't moisture-resistant, it's recommended to replace it before installing the backsplash. For even greater protection against water damage, you can remove the existing drywall and install a tile backer board or cement board instead. While properly installed standard drywall is typically strong enough to support a backsplash, some local building codes may require water-resistant materials in kitchen areas, so it's a good idea to check.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

For best results, you should remove the toilet in a bathroom before removing tile or installing new tile. If you don’t remove the toilet, it will be harder to fully waterproof the tile around the toilet, which could increase the risk of mold growth or plumbing leaks. If you have trouble removing the toilet, hire a plumber to help.

The tile trim you use will depend on a few factors, including design preferences, budget, and whether the project is DIY or not. You might choose plastic trim if you want an easier DIY job that is more budget-friendly. There are also more color options available in plastic. On the other hand, you might choose metal to match your fixtures or for areas with heavy use.

Technically, you can start tiling in a corner and work your way out. However, it's not traditionally how tiling is done. Instead, work from the bottom middle of the wall. Tile out the entire row with whole tiles before moving on to the next row. Once you finish installing all of the whole tiles, then you focus on tiling the corners.
