"Mohammed did more than an excellent job on a difficult backsplash installation. He took his to make several intricate cuts to ensure the backsplash was even against an uneven wall. He gave us his professional advice on various aspects and product selections. He was on time and personable. I would definitely recommend and hire him again"

"I had a great experience working with Michael on my tile project. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and clearly takes pride in his work. He paid close attention to detail, made sure everything was level and aligned perfectly, and the final result looks outstanding. Michael was also easy to communicate with—he showed up on time, kept the workspace clean, and made sure I was happy with each step of the process. You can tell he knows his craft and doesn’t cut corners. If you’re looking for a tile installer who delivers high-quality work and a smooth, stress-free experience, I’d definitely recommend Michael"

"John did a very nice job on my kitchen backsplashes and was more than professional throughout the 2-day project. He kept his work area clean and did a meticulous job, all at what I thought was a reasonable price. He was also happy to give me advice for the long-term maintenance of the marble tile. The only reason for the ding on Johns report card is that there is a light tile with a very dark black mark that almost looks like a bug (sorry to say) which John installed in a very prominent spot. Unfortunately, everyone who visits my home notices this immediately. Since there was so much surplus material available, I really wish that John had substituted a cleaner tile in place of the one that he used."

"I recently worked with MM Tile for removal of old kitchen backsplash and to put new backsplash up. MM Tile was so professional and did an amazing job. Based on that work, I hired MM Tile for a bathroom remodel which included a tile wall, new fixtures and more. I couldn't be happier with the results. Mike, the owner, is a pro and will be open and honest about the project, details and needs. I am excited to work with Mike on additional projects in my house because what he has done so far has really transformed by home. I am extremely happy with the work MM Tile has done and would recommend them to all my family and friends."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.

When choosing between porcelain and ceramic tile, the best option depends on your specific needs, budget, and project application. Porcelain tile is generally more durable, denser, and harder than ceramic, making it a good choice for busy, high-traffic areas. It also offers superior moisture resistance, making it ideal for moisture-retaining spaces. However, porcelain is typically more expensive, and its hardness can make it brittle, potentially causing it to crack if a heavy object is dropped on it. In contrast, ceramic tile is a more budget-friendly option with lower material and installation costs. It is softer and easier to work with, making it a great choice for DIY projects. While not as durable as porcelain, ceramic is still a quality material suitable for many home applications, particularly small, decorative projects.

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

For professional labor and materials, it would cost between $6,000 and $28,000 to install 1,000 square feet of Saltillo tile flooring. If that’s out of your budget, you could consider laying the tiles yourself or choosing a less expensive type of flooring. For example, vinyl flooring costs just $2 to $7 per square foot, so for a 1,000-square-foot space, you’d pay $2,000 to $7,000.

If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward.
