"Michal is a true craftsman. He resolved underlayment issues from the original tile installation (by another contractor) and did an exceptional job installing our new tile. Michal takes great pride in his work and it clearly shows in the quality of the finished product. Overall a great customer service experience!"

"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."

"Mike is one of a kind, he was friendly, hard working and knowledgeable in so many areas when it came to questions or suggestions to our project needs. He installed a new shower with amazing tile, completed a backsplash in our kitchen and tiled a majority of our home. He can do it all!!! The care and dedication to make sure we were happy with the outcome was his top priority. We'll be hiring him back again for future projects and highly recommend to anyone."

"Sergey was very professional and excellent with communication. He showed us designs so we could see exactly how our choice of tile would look in different patterns. Michael is a true artist and carried out the work with precision. I am delighted with the tile installation. The whole area was cleaned and looked fantastic when they finished. I highly recommend Prospectile and I will be calling them for all future tile projects."

"Roman came to my house to review the project and we negotiated cost. I felt he was fair/polite and was happy to work with him. Was also pleased that he had availability that same week I wanted to start the project. He came prepared and took great care while working in my home to ensure the work area was clean after he was done. The end result of the project also met my expectation of quality. As other reviewers have said he may work a little slow but the quality speaks for itself. I much rather have the job done right than rushed with a poor quality of work. I would recommend Roman if you need help on certain jobs around the house and I will hire him again for any new projects that come around."

"I hired Jose and his team to inspect and repair some water damage on the walls of two bathrooms. They were very quick to find the source of each problem, repair the problem, and then install new drywall. They were highly communicative the entire time so I was always aware of what was happening and could make decisions as needed. The finished product in both bathrooms is excellent. The walls look identical to my previous bathroom designs with a more suitable moisture-resistant drywall and paint compared to what I previously had. I got multiple quotes before hiring Big Rock Remodeling, and I chose them because they were most effective at understanding my problem and recommending efficient solutions for a sensible price. They also completed all of the work themselves, while many other companies said they couldn't handle both water damage remediation and reconstruction. I highly recommend Big Rock Remodeling. They are now my go-to contractors for any future remodeling needs."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, even if you’re being careful, removing tile can damage your drywall to some degree. However, you can minimize the damage done to it by eliminating a majority of the grout and taking your time prying each tile off. Also, it's worth noting that you might have more drywall damages to deal with if your tile is set into the mortar.

The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.

The grout shade you choose comes down to personal taste and preference. A darker grout will give you a more dramatic and noticeable contrast with the tile around it; however, lighter grout helps create a more uniform look when blending the colors together. Additionally, a darker grout combined with a patterned tile could be overwhelming to the eye, while lighter grout makes the pattern stand out as the main focus.

The best paints for shower tiles include epoxy, latex, or acrylic. Ideally, you should look for paints that are waterproof and mildew-resistant if you plan to paint shower or other bathroom tiles. You can even find waterproof paints made specifically for tiled surfaces, which will be the best option for shower tile paint that lasts as long as possible.

There are a few different tools you can use to score tiles. Manual tile cutters or tile scribes work well for scoring in straight lines. Tile nippers are one of the best options for scoring because they can make small and irregular cuts that larger tools may not be able to handle.
