"Sergey and his primary tile setter Oleg did an excellent job installing the back splash in our kitchen. They were both very professional and courteous. The response time from inquiry, to quote, to install was very fast. Most importantly the tile was installed beautifully! My wife and I are extremely satisfied with the work that ProspecTile did in our kitchen. We have already recommended them to friends, and would definitely hire them again!"

"I recently worked with MM Tile for removal of old kitchen backsplash and to put new backsplash up. MM Tile was so professional and did an amazing job. Based on that work, I hired MM Tile for a bathroom remodel which included a tile wall, new fixtures and more. I couldn't be happier with the results. Mike, the owner, is a pro and will be open and honest about the project, details and needs. I am excited to work with Mike on additional projects in my house because what he has done so far has really transformed by home. I am extremely happy with the work MM Tile has done and would recommend them to all my family and friends."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a backsplash directly onto drywall, provided the wall is properly prepped, clean, and dry. For best results, especially in kitchen areas, your walls should be made of moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board. If your current wall isn't moisture-resistant, it's recommended to replace it before installing the backsplash. For even greater protection against water damage, you can remove the existing drywall and install a tile backer board or cement board instead. While properly installed standard drywall is typically strong enough to support a backsplash, some local building codes may require water-resistant materials in kitchen areas, so it's a good idea to check.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

You should always use caulk instead of grout where the tile meets the wall. This will help your tile installation look great and last a long time. When you accidentally use grout for the corner seams, you end up making the tiles too rigid. So as the wall shifts over time, your tiles have no wiggle room. This can lead to tile damage, which will eventually require you to do at least a partial reinstallation.

Flooring transition strips can be secured to the subfloor using glue, nails, or screws. For a more secure installation, especially in high-traffic areas, using screws or nails is recommended as it reduces the risk of slippage. However, if aesthetic appeal is a priority, glue provides a cleaner, more seamless finish without any visible holes or screw heads.

The best types of tiles for a shower are ceramic and porcelain tiles. These materials are durable, water-resistant, and easy to maintain, making them ideal for wet environments. Porcelain tiles are slightly more durable than ceramic. Both options come in a wide variety of styles, so you can achieve the perfect look for your bathroom.
