"We are very happy with our new backsplash. David works fast, but does not cut corners, and the tile was installed perfectly! He cleaned up after himself so we'll, if it wasn't for the beautiful new tile, we wouldn't have known he was ever here. We would highly recommend David to anyone interested in a tile backsplash. He's polite, efficient, and honest."

"Marius does beautiful tile work in a pleasant and professional manner. We replaced pipes in both of our showers and Marius did an excellent job at replacing the wall and installing tile in one shower and remodeling the second shower from acrylic to ceramic and marble tile. Marius was responsive and helpful every time I called him in the planning process. He is true to his name â ¦ a beautiful tile pro"

"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!"

"Removal of existing tile in our laundry room and replaced with new tile. They were a joy to work with. Came in and unhooked and moved washer and dryer to garage, removed very heavy 8ft door and removed old tile all in about 90 minutes. Next day installed new tile and grouted Did an excellent job with no mess and cleaned up everything. New tile looks great! Fast, friendly, reasonable and quality work Would recommend to anyone!"

"Overall, 4Ever Remodeling did a very good job on our basement. We are happy with the finished product, which was completed on time and close to budget. Damian, Magda, and the rest of the team were generally professional and responsive. Throughout the project, we received timely status reports and updates. They began the project a few days earlier than originally estimated, and worked long days Monday-Saturday until the job was complete...there was very little downtime. I was impressed by the team's coordination and speed at which they worked. We had a few hiccups worth noting. Based on experiences with other projects, prior to signing an agreement, we emphasized that we did not want to be hit with surprise additional costs. I am not talking about unforeseeable unknowns that arise once walls are torn down or digging begins. We were simply asking for confirmation that all items to complete the project were either included in the bid or listed in the allowances. Despite this, after signing the agreement, we were asked to pay for the following "add ons": -a shower floor (to their credit, due to an installation issue with the PVC floor we purchased, 4Ever ended up installing a tile floor) -shower door (both the door and installation!?) -relocation of a ducts (not a hidden issue as everything in the basement was exposed) -leveling of floor (also not a hidden issue) -stairs railing (rebuilding of the stairs was part of the contract; after some back and forth, 4Ever agreed to cover the railing) These might have just been unintentional oversights, and ultimately the cost of these extras was only ~5% of the total, but I point them out because I do believe 4Ever is open to feedback. Avoiding requests for extras that should have been included in the quote/allowances (shower door, shower floor, stairs railing), or were easily foreseeable (floor leveling, duct relocation) is one thing they could have done better. All that said, we would recommend them and use them for future work. The things they did right outweighed the minor issues."

"Our tile floor is 25 years old and had several loose tiles and places with missing grout. Eric, one of the partners, performed the work. The work was performed as scheduled and in a reasonable time frame. Eric readily responded to any concerns. The floor and tub surround now look like new."

"We would highly recommend G&G Kitchen and Bath. We were a little nervous about having our kitchen cabinets painted, but they needed to be updated and modernized. We weren't looking to remodel our entire kitchen. We called Frank's company after reading reviews on Angie's List. Frank came to our house and listened to our needs & concerns. He and his crew had great suggestions, ideas, and options on how to make our kitchen updated, functional, & aesthetic looking, all while keeping the cost within our budget. We had our kitchen updated with paint, new cabinet doors, a new backsplash, & kitchen knobs. This can be challenging during a Covid-19 pandemic but Frank & his crew made it work within our schedule. He and his crew were professional and pleasure to work with. We are extremely happy with the workmanship and quality of our remodeling experience and would highly recommend G & G Kitchen and Bath to our family and friends."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Like any painted surface, tile paint can peel and chip over time. However, tile paint can become especially susceptible to peeling during periods of high humidity. Other sources of excess moisture will also cause tile paint to peel faster than normal. And if the tiles are in a high-traffic area, like the entryway floor, tile paint will chip and peel faster.

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.

Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.

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.

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.

Your floors should be completely level for tile, otherwise you risk damaging the tiles in the future. When there are even small gaps or hills in the subfloor beneath the tile, this puts more pressure on the tile when you walk around on the floor. With repeated traffic, the tiles are at risk of cracking, and you’ll have to deal with tile repairs sooner than if the floor was completely level.
