"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."

"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!"

"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!"

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."

"Excellent. I was considering doing part of the pre-installation work myself, but due to time constraints, went with Nino's Tile's proposal to do almost everything from removal of the existing flooring, receipt of the tile, and also ordered the tile via them from a vendor/tile choice I had selected after visiting various tile shops and showrooms. A unique family company of two brothers, who actually perform all the work themselves, Tony and Vito, took genuine pride in their work and had the patience to answer all questions and take care of all my installation details including discussion of technical items. I contacted Tony back in March to line up for this flooring work to begin in June and everything went perfectly on schedule. While this was an expensive project it was definitely worth it to have the tile done correctly and with the right aesthetics without needing to supervise the work, so I feel I got what I paid for."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.

Common problems include cracks, loose tiles, and grout discoloration. Proper maintenance prevents many issues.

You should always use caulk instead of grout where the tile meets the wall. This will help your tile installation look great and last a long time. When you accidentally use grout for the corner seams, you end up making the tiles too rigid. So as the wall shifts over time, your tiles have no wiggle room. This can lead to tile damage, which will eventually require you to do at least a partial reinstallation.

The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.
