"Maurizio explained the entire job including pricing, and timeline. He gave us options on how we wanted our new backslash to look. Tony and Sal are true artists when it came to the install. They showed up on time, worked hard, and actually enjoyed their work. The job was finished on time, and on budget. I would highly recommend this company for any tile work that you may need."

"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."

"The pro was experiences and did a good job over all. He painted each room as we requested and offered suggestions to our liking. He was careful to cover our furniture, and clean up after completing the job. The job was to be finished in 3 days, but it took 5 days, because he was working alone up until the last day. I would recommend He to others"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

A quality shower tiling project is a bathroom upgrade that can increase resale value. Bathroom remodels have the highest return on investments for any home update. Tiling a shower won’t offer the potential 70% ROI that a full bathroom remodel involving upgrading fixtures, installing storage, and a complete room retile will. However, you can expect an average return of 55% to 60% for this refresh.

The easiest tile size to install is large tiles, and they’re easier to install than small tiles—the job is faster and simpler when there’s less placing, adhering, and grouting to do. However, when tiles get really big, they’re more difficult to handle, cut, and fit. Standard floor tile sizes are 12-by-12 inches, 18-by-18 inches, and 12-by-24 inches.

The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.

Tile installation can be expensive because it requires more time and labor to install than many other materials. For example, laminate flooring can click and lock into place, and carpet comes in large rolls that you can secure to the floor. On the other hand, tiles need to be cut, laid individually, grouted, and left to cure.
