"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."

"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

Yes, provided you aren’t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.

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). 

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.

The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.

Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while tile installation cost is higher, it’s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don’t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren’t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.

Glass tiles are among the most difficult to install. This is because their transparency makes the adhesive visible, and any imperfections on the opposite side are also likely to be visible. Glass tiles also must be handled carefully during installation, as they are prone to scratching. For these reasons, glass tiles often require professional installation to get the most out of their beauty and unique look.
