"What was originally thought to be a grout problem was found to be a substandard job by a previous contractor. Craig and the Creative Tile team were amazing from helping identify the problem to developing and installing an amazing solution. The team of people working for Creative Tile were amazing. From demolition, to building the foundation for the new floor, to installation of the tile, and finishing the job; it was a true pleasure to deal with the team. We now have a bathroom that I consider showroom quality. I will use Craig and Creative Tile for all my future tile jobs."

"Had a new shower installed. We have a fairly large shower. Removed the tile, moved the built-in bench to the opposite wall, replaced all three shower heads. Elliott our installer was great! It was a big job and he got it done and I couldn't be happier!"
"Paul and his team installed a fence around my property after I had just moved here. The fence has been so great when it was time for additional fencing I knew to call Paul. They never disappoint. When he came out to quote I asked about decks. Yep! He did a great job on that too! Plus installed the door, cut out opening, too. Live the work he and his team do."
"John is the owner of Midwest Solid Surface. He and his wife Cicily are terrific. Cicily is extremely user friendly and so helpful. John is a consummate professional. Our old undermount stainless steel sink failed. It was ten years old and was abused by the former occupants who were renters. Even worse, the old sink was improperly installed without clips. John uninstalled the old sink and properly installed the new sink I had purchased. He used clips and adhesive silicone. He reconnected the plumbing and cleaned up. We are very pleased with the quality of the work. We recommend Midwest Solid Surface without reservation. If you have a problem that involves solid surfaces or most any kitchen renovation, do yourself a favor and call them!"
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Tile floor installation usually takes about 16 hours of active work along with a couple of days of drying time between tile and grout applications.
The amount of time it takes your installer will depend on many factors, including the square footage of the space, the tile material type, and if they need to make intricate tile cuts.
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.
Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.
Lack of durability is the most significant downside of painting tile. However, a painted tile backsplash doesn't see the same kind of action as, say, painted flooring tiles. For backsplashes, the durability of the finish is crucial because they often require cleaning. However, you can minimize the durability problem by using mild cleaners and water on the painted surfaces.
