"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."

"Excellent. I was considering doing part of the pre-installation work myself, but due to time constraints, went with Nino's Tile's proposal to do almost everything from removal of the existing flooring, receipt of the tile, and also ordered the tile via them from a vendor/tile choice I had selected after visiting various tile shops and showrooms. A unique family company of two brothers, who actually perform all the work themselves, Tony and Vito, took genuine pride in their work and had the patience to answer all questions and take care of all my installation details including discussion of technical items. I contacted Tony back in March to line up for this flooring work to begin in June and everything went perfectly on schedule. While this was an expensive project it was definitely worth it to have the tile done correctly and with the right aesthetics without needing to supervise the work, so I feel I got what I paid for."

Small jobs welcome

"Steve is a very skilled and hard worker. He finished the rest of the floor that I had started tiling. He installed Travertine tile and did an amazing job installing it level over a bowed floor. The tile was evenly installed and the spacing was perfect. I could immediately tell that he is skilled in tile work. He also installed stone veneer and stones around an arch for a wall that I built and this is where his true skills were shown. I now have a beautiful stone wall thanks to him. He was an honest and great guy to work with. He also cleaned up all of the garbage and space that he worked in. If you want tile or stone work done, you will be very happy with the results and his price was very reasonable."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

To protect your tile in Illinois, a seasonal routine is vital. In spring, inspect for cracks from winter's freeze-thaw cycles and check basement tiles for moisture damage from snowmelt. During summer, monitor for expansion issues. In the fall, seal any identified cracks and clean grout lines before winter arrives. This proactive approach helps your tile withstand the demanding IL climate year-round.

Helpful?

Success in Lake Forest depends on combating local climate challenges. With harsh freeze-thaw cycles and high humidity from Lake Michigan, proper installation is key. This includes professional waterproofing, using polymer-modified adhesives, and high-performance epoxy grout. Adequate expansion joints are also essential to prevent tiles from cracking due to the area's wide seasonal temperature swings, ensuring your project lasts for years to come.

Helpful?

When hiring a pro in Lake Forest, prioritize local experience. A qualified contractor will be familiar with the area’s unique soil conditions, building codes, and climate challenges. Look for professionals with Certified Tile Installer credentials and a portfolio of similar projects, especially if you have a historic home. Ensure they provide a detailed written contract and offer a solid warranty for their labor.

Helpful?

A frequent mistake in Lake Forest is underestimating moisture. Homeowners often skip professional waterproofing, which is critical given the area's humidity and high water table, especially in basements. Using standard adhesives that fail in extreme temperatures is another common error. It's also important to properly prepare surfaces to account for foundation settling, which can be an issue in the region.

Helpful?

In Lake Forest, you can find several types of specialists. Full-service contractors manage entire renovations, while specialty installers focus on heated floors or outdoor patios. Given the area's many vintage properties, restoration specialists are available for historic tile repair and matching. You will also find general contractors who subcontract tile work and smaller mobile operations for repair and maintenance tasks.
