"Ryan did a fantastic job with our kitchen backsplash. He was professional and worked with our complicated schedule as we were in the midst of moving into our new house. I'll hire Ryan for my bathroom re-tiling project when we're ready."
"I recently hired VillaSilva Flooring to install black porcelain herringbone tile in my laundry room, and I could not be happier with the results. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and craftsmanship were outstanding from start to finish. The project took three days, and their team arrived on time each morning, ready to work. They provided daily updates, keeping me informed on their progress, which I truly appreciated. Their remarkable precision in laying the herringbone pattern ensured perfect alignment and a flawless finish. Every tile was carefully placed, and they ensured everything was flush, creating a smooth, seamless look. If you are looking for a flooring company that values craftsmanship, reliability, and clear communication, I highly recommend VillaSilva Flooring. Their expertise and dedication to excellence truly set them apart. I will be using them again for future projects!"

"We love our deck extension! They were able to add on to our existing deck and took on a huge project to extend it 50ft across! Carmel had a bunch of extra requirements but eventually we got the permit with extra additions and Maynor himself did a great job handling the changes and keeping us in the loop! Not only do we love the deck, but the work is high quality and they are all very hardworking individuals! We would definitely use them again and definitely recommend them!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Yes, provided you aren’t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.
Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don’t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.
To make a bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored, medium- to large-format tiles. Light colors such as white, cream, or light gray make a space feel more open, while dark colors, busy patterns, and small tiles can make a bathroom feel smaller. It may seem counterintuitive, but small tiles can shrink a room visually due to the increased number of grout lines. Using medium- to large-format tiles creates a more seamless look. For the best effect, pair your light-colored tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout. This minimizes the grid-like pattern and gives the floor and walls a more continuous, uninterrupted appearance, helping the room feel significantly larger.
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.
Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.
