"Great job all around. The sales rep came to our home and was very transparent about the timeline of the install being 10 weeks out. Let us know we wouldn’t really hear anything until a couple of weeks before the install. They did demo all the way down to the studs, disposed of all trash, re plumbed and installed the new shower in 2 days! We did financing through power pay with them as well. At first you might have a bit of sticker shock, but the quality of the finished product and amazing staff is well worth paying for. Fernando was always on time and amazing to work with. Great job!"
"I had a great experience with C&A Tile and Flooring installing my new backsplash!
They installed 4x16 subway tile in my kitchen, and I?m really impressed with the quality of their work. The installation was clean, precise, and the finished result looks amazing. The team was professional, efficient, and clearly takes pride in what they do
I highly recommend C&A Tile and Flooring to anyone looking for quality tile work. Thank you for the great job!"
"Installation went great. Very happy with the final product and will use again on my next project. Mark and Chris were very easy to work with on this project. Thanks again guys!!"
"My wife and I love our new windows. They keep out the weather and look much better. Our custom ordered windows were installed approximately 3-4 weeks after we signed the agreement and paid a the deposit. Hoosier Boy was flexible in scheduling an install date that worked with my schedule. Installers arrived on time and were very careful to not damage any property or landscaping. All trash and debris from the original windows were cleaned up and hauled away. Overall we are very happy with Hoosier Boy's work and will quote them for any future home improvement projects."
"7M Construction was selected to run 2 major renovation projects for us and they exceeded expectations every step of the way. While we collectively experienced material and labor shortages over the last 12 month period, 7M maintained excellent communication about completion timeline and if there were any issues they were quick to respond and address accordingly. I can’t wait to work with them on another project."
"I highly recommend JJC for any remodeling/upgrade project. I hired this company to upgrade my kitchen and they did a fantastic job. They are all about keeping the customer happy. They completed the job in a timely and efficient manner. They have a great work ethic. I will definitely be contracting them again for my next project."
"It was outstanding. Very excellent. They cleaned behind themselves. They left things better than it was before they came. The problem was resolved. Pricing was very comfortable and fair. They were very timely."
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.
If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.
On average, tiling a shower costs between $1,800 and $5,000, with most people paying around $2,700. The price of this project depends on multiple factors, including the kind of tile you choose, the size of your shower, and labor rates in your area. If you decide to tile your own shower (instead of hiring a professional), it’ll likely cost $800 to $1,400.
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.
Once cracks appear, it is hard to stop tiles from cracking more. If the cause of the problem is improper subflooring, underlying concrete, improper tile joint sizes, mold growth, or structural issues, the only way to stop floor tiles from cracking is to redo the entire floor, fixing the underlying issues first. If cracks occur after impact damage, hiring a professional tile contractor to replace the cracked tiles, fix loose floor tiles, and restore the grout around them can prevent further damage. It is also important to keep your tile and grout clean and maintained to prolong its life.
You can use sanded or unsanded grout for a shower pan, but sanded grout isn’t the best option for shower walls. For those areas, you’ll want to use unsanded grout, which works well on vertical surfaces and is less likely to slump than sanded grout. Alternatively, you can use epoxy grout for shower walls.
