"We hired Cruz and his crew to install a backsplash in our kitchen. They did a great job and got the job done in the estimated time as well as with the correct amount of materials they had us buy for the job. Very friendly and clean crew. We will definitely be using them again if we have any other tiling needs and I have already sent a few people with tiling needs the contact information. Wish I could post the before and after photos, wonderful job!"

"Claudio is a terrific painter and contractor. His workmanship is top notch. His prices are reasonable. His communication and customer service are second to none. He is prompt and efficient and takes great care to protect furniture and floors from drips or overspray. He is also flexible. I scheduled him to paint my new garage doors and had to cancel that work when the installer was late with the installation. Claudio returned as soon as the doors were in to paint them. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and am recommending Claudio to everyone I know."

"Pat and Rick took a lot of care protecting our marble countertops and Wood floors both days they worked. Pat was very helpful with selection of materials and colors and was patient as we made decisions about tiles and grout color. The marble backsplash looks beautiful! Highly recommend Pat and his team!!"

"Jean did great job explaining what we needed to repair and we knew it is only a temporary fix of our bathroom tile. It buys us time until we can do a full remodel we are not ready for. They completed the project in two days allowing us to get back to using the shower in quick time. Would hire again. Reasonable price all things considered these days"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls.

Using caulk is one of the simplest and most recommended methods to finish glass tile edges. It creates an elegant seam between the glass tile and the adjacent area, along with a waterproof seal. With this method, you want to use a caulk color that matches the grout and, along with the grout, compliments the tile. Make sure the caulk line is smooth and even. Alternatively, you can use a bullnose or tile trimming to edge, however, that will also require caulk to seal.

How long painted tiles last ultimately comes down to the quality of the paint job and how much wear and tear the tiles get. It’s possible the paint job will only last about six months if the tiles are in a high-traffic area and they weren’t properly cleaned, sanded, and primed prior to painting and sealing. Well-painted tiles in a low-traffic area should last at least a year.

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.

The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.
