"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."

"Jon and Carlee were great to work with. Jon handled the estimate and design while Carlee came out to oversee the moving crew to make sure everything went smoothly. When the installation crew showed up they were polite and friendly as well as professional. When the installation of our new floor was done l couldn't have asked for a better installation, the installers are craftsman. Upon completion Carlee came out to inspect the job. We couldn't have found a better company to hire."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can tile over existing tiles in a bathroom, but it is not always recommended. For this method to be successful, the original tile surface must be clean, flat, and free of damage such as cracks, unevenness, mold, or mildew. While tiling over existing tiles can save time and money, there are potential drawbacks. The new adhesive may not bond properly, and the process adds extra weight to the wall or floor. Additionally, the increased height of the surface could interfere with door clearances. For the best and most durable results, removing the old tiles before installing new ones is generally the better option.

It’s important to leave a gap in the corner when tiling to allow room for tile expansion. Leaving between one eighth of an inch to one tenth of an inch is enough space. 

A quality shower tiling project is a bathroom upgrade that can increase resale value. Bathroom remodels have the highest return on investments for any home update. Tiling a shower won’t offer the potential 70% ROI that a full bathroom remodel involving upgrading fixtures, installing storage, and a complete room retile will. However, you can expect an average return of 55% to 60% for this refresh.

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.
