"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!"

"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."

"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."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

If you’re handling your tile removal yourself, seal the room using painter’s tape and heavy-duty contractor bags to prevent dust and shards from escaping. Use a claw hammer or a pry bar and a mallet to get behind the tile and pry it away from the floor or wall. Once your tiles are all removed, sweep everything into contractor bags for disposal, being careful not to overfill them. Make sure you wear a dust mask, safety goggles, and work gloves to keep yourself safe from injury while you work.

You can let the tile sit without grout. Don’t panic if there’s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting. 

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.

In some cases, granite tiles can be installed over existing flooring if the surface is level, stable, and free of moisture issues. However, removing old flooring is often recommended to ensure a secure and long-lasting installation, as well as to avoid height differences at thresholds. Consult with your flooring pro to determine the best approach based on your specific situation.

Penny tile should be sealed to protect the grout from moisture and keep stains from damaging the look of the tile. If penny tile is in a humid or high-traffic area, like a bathroom, kitchen, or entryway, it needs sealant. Any type of tile and grout is best maintained with a sealant reapplied by a pro every one to two years.
