"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Contractor – Highly Recommended! I’ve worked with many contractors over the years, but Nick stands out as the absolute best. From start to finish, his professionalism, communication, and speed are unmatched. Unlike many handymen who need to figure things out as they go, Nick comes in with a clear plan, provides a fair quote, and delivers exceptional results—often ahead of schedule and on budget. We started with a full roof replacement, and even the inspector commented that it was “better than most roofing contractors.” The job was completed in just a few days, and the quality was top-notch. Since then, Nick has completed a wide range of projects at my home, including a full bathroom renovation, electrical work, landscaping, drywall, and painting. His drywall and finishing skills are especially impressive—everything looks seamless and professionally done. What’s more, my entire family has began using this guy!"

They performed the work in a timely fashion and showed up when they said they would.  We highly recommend Westward Carpenter Contractors and will certainly use them again!"

"Kirt did a great job. He figured out how to straighten out the kitchen floor. Can't tell there was ever a hump there. Kirt and his partner showed up every day on time. Started the job when he said he would and kept the cost to the estimate. I was kept informed of what they were doing and how they were going to do it the entire way. They ran a couple days over the estimated time but they stayed here til it was finished. I love the job they did. My kitchen and bath look great

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, tile floor removal is a physically demanding project that takes between eight and 12 hours per 100 square feet. It also requires protective gear and closing the area off with construction-grade plastic sheeting to avoid dust and damage to other parts of your home.

Glass tile can cost as much as or more than other durable tile types. When choosing the right tile for you, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of each can help you make an informed decision. The pros and cons of glass tile include:

Pros

  • Light-reflecting to add brightness

  • Waterproof and mold-resistant

  • Made from recyclable materials 

Cons

  • High cost compared to similar and more durable materials

  • Usually requires professional installation

  • More easily scratched compared to materials like ceramic and porcelain

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.

It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth. 

The best paints for shower tiles include epoxy, latex, or acrylic. Ideally, you should look for paints that are waterproof and mildew-resistant if you plan to paint shower or other bathroom tiles. You can even find waterproof paints made specifically for tiled surfaces, which will be the best option for shower tile paint that lasts as long as possible.
