"Marius was great to work with. He did a great job tiling four bathrooms, kitchen backsplash, mudroom tile, and fireplace surround. He made suggestions that made the tile appearance better even though added more work to his job. Overall project was performed on budget, within the time frame he provided, and looks a great. He worked with ceramic, porcelain, and marble in this job. We recommend Marius for any tiling work."

"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!"

"Kyle and his team did an amazing job on the floors at my condo! Kyle came out the day after I contacted him for an estimate and was able to give me a quote in no time. I had a tiled kitchen that needed to be leveled out, carpeted living area, and carpeted stairs that I wanted to replace with hardwood floors. The team did a phenomenal job on all of it. I cannot stress enough how great everything turned out and was well beyond what I even imagined. Kyle was fantastic at communicating, very fairly priced, and completed the project in good time. I HIGHLY recommend Footprints Floors!"

"The team was very responsive in assisting the removal of a silver maple in my back yard. Came out and quoted the opportunity within a couple days of engaging them on the Home Advisor platform. After moving forward with the bid, the continued to provide communication even through a couple reschedules due to weather. The completion of the project was smooth and they left the back yard in great shape. Iâ d recommend All Service Calls to my friends and family members."

"Exceptional work all the way around! They have a unique skill that was handed down from their father and we received their name from a professional referral. They prepared the site (a vintage bathroom) by making the walls level and square before installing any stone. They made sure that everything was crafted as well as possible - to exceed our expectations and their own. They had our best interests at heart.
Our job included large slate tiles, small glass tiles and quartz slabs. 100% of the floor and walls are covered with stone and tile. Even a portion of the ceiling has tile. Every curve and corner was painstakingly executed and took extra time to get things right. The bathroom is a showplace. We are incredibly happy with their work. Excellent!

Customers say: True professional

"Tonyâ s tile work on my fireplace was excellent. One of the tiles didnâ t fit, so he split two tiles and placed them side by side vertically in the top center. It created a nice design effect. He repeated the vertical cut in the center of the hearth. The fireplace looks bright and beautiful now. The man knows how to set tile with a lifetime of experience in the tile business fueling his ability. I highly recommend hiring him. He and his wife cleaned up afterwards. They split their time between living in Spain and the US. Kelly, his wife, is a very knowledgeable bilingual tour guide in Spain. We sat and talked for several hours mostly about traveling in Europe, Art and assisting her husband here in the US."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

To make a small bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored tiles in a medium- to large-format size. Lighter colors like white, cream, or light gray help open up a room, making it feel larger and more airy. While it may seem counterintuitive, small tiles can actually make a bathroom look smaller because the increased number of grout lines creates a busy pattern that visually shrinks the space. Instead, opt for medium- or large-format tiles for a more seamless, expansive appearance. For the best effect, pair your tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout to create a continuous surface that enhances the illusion of a larger area. Avoid dark colors, heavy patterns, and contrasting grout, as these can make the space feel more confined.

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.

Porcelain tiles can last 60 years or longer. With high-quality tiles and proper installation, your porcelain tiles may even outlive you, making them well worth the initial investment.

To help your porcelain tiles last longer, you should clean and maintain them regularly. You don’t need any harsh chemicals to get the job done. Rather, use a cloth, hot water, and mild detergent. And don’t forget to learn how to clean floor tile grout, as that’s just as important as tile maintenance.

A cement backer board is not needed for laying tile on concrete. Sometimes referred to as a cementitious backer unit, or CBU, backer board should be used if the subfloor is plywood or OSB. The backer board provides a base on which to install the tiles that isn’t as likely to be damaged by any accidental water seepage as natural materials would be.

Bathrooms are naturally moisture-rich environments, so choose a durable, water-resistant tile for your tub surround. Porcelain and ceramic are two popular options that are also quite affordable. Glass is another good option that’s also low-maintenance—you just need a glass cleaner like you would use on the bathroom mirror. Natural stone tile is porous, but it’s still a viable option if you choose it in a glazed version.
