"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."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, cracked tiles allow water to seep through the substrate or subfloor, leading to mold and mildew growth. It can also cause severe structural damage. At the very least, water damage can cause your tile to lift from the substrate, meaning one cracked tile can lead to several cracked tiles. It’s a good idea to waterproof tile in areas with direct water exposure or lots of moisture.

The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.

Options include clay, concrete, and slate tiles. Each offers unique durability, aesthetics, and costs.

Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.
