"We hired Raymond to paint our 2nd floor bedrooms, hall, and stairway at the recommendation of our Brother-in-law. After seeing the New Color Cabinets truck, I wondered who in the neighborhood was getting new cabinets – I needed cabinet doors and drawer fronts replaced. Turns out, that is Raymond’s main business. His painting was exceptional! He was professional, prompt and kind. His pricing was quite reasonable. We then hired him to work on our kitchen cabinet project. Again, pricing was very reasonable. As the project progressed, we added additional replacement hardware and decided to replace all the drawers. His recommendations were spot on. The cabinets look terrific, and we could not be happier. As you may know, one thing leads to another. We decided to have a backsplash installed to complement the newly renovated cabinets. Raymond’s sub-contractor, Ruben Paulin, did an excellent job. His attention to detail made a big difference in our project. We definitely recommend Raymond and New Color Cabinets for your next project."

"Lots of mistakes were made when the floor was first installed. But i was very impressed by the customer service and follow through to correct the problem. They literally needed to take out the first floor and start over. It was all a little frustrating, but they acted with much integrity and ate the cost to replace to the floor. The new installation, a pre-stained hard wood floor, looks great."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

The tile trim you use will depend on a few factors, including design preferences, budget, and whether the project is DIY or not. You might choose plastic trim if you want an easier DIY job that is more budget-friendly. There are also more color options available in plastic. On the other hand, you might choose metal to match your fixtures or for areas with heavy use.

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.

Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.

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.
