"Marius was great to work with. He did a great job tiling four bathrooms, kitchen backsplash, mudroom tile, and fireplace surround. He made suggestions that made the tile appearance better even though added more work to his job. Overall project was performed on budget, within the time frame he provided, and looks a great. He worked with ceramic, porcelain, and marble in this job. We recommend Marius for any tiling 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."

"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!"

"The service was great. Raymond came out quickly to give and estimate for his services. He refinished some maple cabinets in white in one of our rental apartments. The transformation was amazing. The job was done professionally and the cabinets look great. I highly recommend this company to anyone. We plan to use him again for future projects."

"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."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

A cement backer board is not needed for laying tile on concrete. Sometimes referred to as a cementitious backer unit, or CBU, backer board should be used if the subfloor is plywood or OSB. The backer board provides a base on which to install the tiles that isn’t as likely to be damaged by any accidental water seepage as natural materials would be.

Tile—specifically smaller, mosaic-style tiles—is the best type of flooring for building a walk-in shower base. Shower pans come with a threshold and sidewalls to contain the water, but tile can be set into the shower base. This creates a walk-in shower floor that gently slopes toward the drain to keep water from getting out and into the rest of the bathroom.

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.

Tile countertops can last up to 100 years when properly maintained. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are the most durable types and can last as long as natural stone countertops like granite, marble, and quartz. Tile countertops are much cheaper than natural stone countertops, making them an excellent option for a homeowner with a limited budget.

When choosing between porcelain and ceramic tile, the best option depends on your specific needs, budget, and project application. Porcelain tile is generally more durable, denser, and harder than ceramic, making it a good choice for busy, high-traffic areas. It also offers superior moisture resistance, making it ideal for moisture-retaining spaces. However, porcelain is typically more expensive, and its hardness can make it brittle, potentially causing it to crack if a heavy object is dropped on it. In contrast, ceramic tile is a more budget-friendly option with lower material and installation costs. It is softer and easier to work with, making it a great choice for DIY projects. While not as durable as porcelain, ceramic is still a quality material suitable for many home applications, particularly small, decorative projects.
