"We are very happy with our new backsplash. David works fast, but does not cut corners, and the tile was installed perfectly! He cleaned up after himself so we'll, if it wasn't for the beautiful new tile, we wouldn't have known he was ever here. We would highly recommend David to anyone interested in a tile backsplash. He's polite, efficient, and honest."

"it went well. Maurizio answered all my questions promptly and fully. the work was done well and quickly- the counter tops and sink installed in one day and the backsplash tiles in a second day; workers were neat and laid out cloths on the floor and put paper on the counters, taped along the cabinets to keep things as clean as possible. I was asked questions regarding options on things that came up that were unexpected. invoice was adjusted for work not done due to unforeseen plumbing situation regarding the sink. i appreciated that. Love my new kitchen! worth every penny!"

"I actually had a glass tile backsplash installed. Sal did the work and he was fabulous! Glass is more complicated than ceramic or porcelain and he did an exquisite job! Responded quickly and efficiently. Worked diligently and was friendly and professional. I absolutely love the result! I highly recommend this company for any kind of tile work!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Steve did a great job installing porcelain tile on our bathroom walls and floor. He also installed a radiant heat grid under the new floor. In addition, Steve installed and painted a feature wall in the master bedroom, as well as a shiplap feature wall in our living room. Steve was punctual, dependable, and highly skilled at his craft. He was very detail oriented and asked for our approval in advance before starting each aspect of our projects. He is a very artistic craftsman who has a great eye for color and detail."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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. 

Yes, you can tile a shower as a DIY project, and you can save hundreds of dollars in labor costs by doing so. However, you’ll need to rent or buy quite a few tools and supplies for the job, including a saw, tile nippers, and a new shower pan. In terms of the work itself, you should be prepared to tackle a variety of different tasks, including measuring and ordering materials, removing old tile, waterproofing the wall, adding rows of tile, grouting, and more.

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.

Grout lines should typically be between 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick. This ensures enough room for the grout to dry properly and makes them wide enough to look clean and professional. If grout lines are too small, it can be easier to see imperfections in the spacing. 

Popular options include ceramic, porcelain, stone, and glass tiles, chosen based on the area (bathroom, kitchen) and desired aesthetic.
