"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!"

"Great job on my front porch. Was out of town and came back to a perfectly fixed brick porch and step. Was a bit nervous because I paid in full up front because I was out of town but not to worry all was completed as promised. Highly recommend."

"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."

"They were great to work with; Eric answered my email quickly and was also quick with the estimate. Work was scheduled, they double checked with me the next week to confirm and Mike called when he was on his way (he was on time). The work was done well and Mike gave me instructions on how to care for my bathroom tile."

"This is our third time having our French Limestone kitchen floor and granite countertops refinished but it is the first time we have used Natural Stone Restoration, Inc. to do the job. The quality of the work was outstanding and far exceeded that done by other companies. We also appreciated that Zuka elected to be on site supervising and that he was candid about the need to refinish varieties of floor tile we have in other rooms. Our home is on the National Historic Register and is also a Lake Forest Landmark. When we questioned Zuka about refinishing the original hand hewn slate tile in the foyer, he discouraged us from making the 1929 tiles look new saying the refinishing would detract from the original master craftsmanship and alter the patina of the floor. He obviously knows his craft and sacrificed a sale to preserve a legacy. I also like him. He is a consummate professional."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

While you shouldn’t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.

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.

Yes, unfortunately, it is normal for wall and floor tiles to crack, especially when you drop heavy items on tiled floors or place heavy objects on them. Tiles are also more susceptible to cracking when ceramic tiles designed for walls are installed on floors, as these are often not strong enough to handle heavy loads from foot traffic and furniture. Similarly, tiles that are installed incorrectly, lack adequate subflooring, or have other installation problems are prone to cracking. To avoid these problems and the inevitable repair and replacement costs they bring, always hire a professional for tile work and follow best practices for installation.

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.

You have creative freedom when it comes to your tile trim. If, however, you are considering skipping tile trim, please think twice about that. It is good practice to install tile trim, whether on walls or flooring. Think, too, about the aesthetic you are going for and choose a trim type and color that will help enhance the space.
