"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!"

"We had an excellent experience with Avanti Stone for our backsplash installation in our kitchen and another in our bar. Tony and Sal did outstanding work from start to finish. They were professional, punctual, and clearly take a lot of pride in their craftsmanship. The installation was precise, clean, and beautifully done—the attention to detail really shows. Tony and Sal took the time to make sure everything was perfectly aligned. Communication throughout the process was easy and straightforward, and the end result exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t be happier with how the backsplash turned out and would absolutely recommend Avanti Stone, especially Tony and Sal, to anyone looking for high-quality stone work."

"Antonio took complete excellent care of us on our bathroom remodel. He not only tiled our shower, floor, and backsplash perfectly, but he installed our new vanity and helped us with some big problems getting it to fit. Excellent value, completed the job on time and on budget. Will hire again."

"Jeremy was awesome! He was quick but thorough. He even took time to relay knowledge about the install and operation of the garage heater. Very impressed and would definitely recommend him to other customers."

"My shower was in sad shape with broken tiles and needing re grouting. It looks amazing!, Not only was he able to replace broken tiles, but when he was finished grouting it looked brand new. Would definitely recommend this company."

"Andrea does exceptional work and stands behind everything he does. He is on time, efficient and has great ideas and an eye for design, as well. He removed and installed a ceramic tile in the main floor, removed and replaced kitchen backsplash, painted the first floor, installed new baseboards, removed carpet and stained the stairs/hallway floor. I HIGHLY recommend him and will use him for all of our home improvement projects."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they’re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn’t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn’t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.

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.

When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.

On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.

The grout shade you choose comes down to personal taste and preference. A darker grout will give you a more dramatic and noticeable contrast with the tile around it; however, lighter grout helps create a more uniform look when blending the colors together. Additionally, a darker grout combined with a patterned tile could be overwhelming to the eye, while lighter grout makes the pattern stand out as the main focus.
