"David Devall is SUPERIOR! We suffered through the Great Flood of 2016 in Louisiana. Mr. David Devall was hired to reconstruct our bathroom by reinstalling a new bathtub and shower. He handled the entire process with such expertise and professionalism. The shower had to be removed first, and the demolition process was handled perfectly. He installed a beautiful new bathtub with fixtures, and provided a huge variety of material and natural stone to choose from. We picked the light Emperador. Mr. David installed this beautiful natural stone as an apron on the front, half-wall surround, and a lip on our window sill. It was stunning. He then installed the same light Emperador when reconstructing our shower. He installed a base, the light, the natural stone, a seat, an area for soap and shampoo, the beautiful fixtures, the shower door, and all trim and caulking. His work area is always clean and works with great skill and enthusiasm. He is always punctual and is consistent with following up when he feels that pertinent instructions relative to care of natural stone, etc., need to be provided. He is currently installing a backsplash in our kitchen. I found a sample of what I wanted online (Taos Picket Pattern), and he hunted it down locally. He makes the reconstruction painless as he offers the leg work to minimize the selection and ordering process. His skill, expertise, and prices are phenomenal, and he is a man of great character, integrity, compassion, trust, and dependability. I attached a couple of photos of the tub. I'm not writing this from home, but if I were, you would get a photo of the shower, too. AMAZING! He gets an AA+!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes. You can tile over tile if the old tile is in good shape, but this will also create a thicker floor. As a result, you may have to remove and readjust baseboards and other room trimmings and potentially even raise door heights to work with the higher floors. In most projects, it’s best to remove the old tile before installing a new tile floor.

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.

Yes, it would be best if you waterproofed your shower walls before tiling. The cement backing board behind the tile is not waterproof; it’s only water-resistant. On top of your tile backing board, be sure to use a waterproof shower membrane before you start installing your shower tiles.

For glass tile, you want to use unsanded grout. Sanded grout is a stronger and grittier cement grout that is great for installing tiles with wider gaps and into joints. However, it is susceptible to scratching glass tile and is more difficult to use in thinner gaps. Unsanded grout, while more expensive, is easier to fit between thin gaps and is less harsh on delicate materials, like glass tile.

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.
