"We had looked at multiple different professionals and were so glad we picked New style flooring to do our dream kitchen backsplash. They were very responsive, fair pricing and we were blown away by their high level of workmanship and detail with installing our chevron pattern tile. Marco did a wonderful job making the backsplash really shine. Tony made sure everything was perfection and ensured it was hassle free for us. They wore masks the whole time and were respectful following all COVID protocols. Highly recommend and will use them again for future flooring and tile needs."

"When we need work done on the house we always call Bob @ Phalan Construction. My husband and I are very picky about the quality of work and Bob has always done a top knotch job. The most recent project was the re-tiling of a small second bathroom. The floor was very uneven which caused the toilet to leak. Bob completely gutted the bathroom floor and started over making it a new level surface. The tile came out great and he reinstalled the toilet which now does not leak or run! In addition, while there, we decided to have Bob replace some interior doors that were in rough shape and paint them. Again, did a great job. AND, we also had Bob install a tile blacksplash in our kitchen. The great thing about having Bob do the work is that he can do everything, we don't need to have multiple contractors, just one person that we can count on."

"I hired Jeff to take out my old, leaky, fiber glass shower and install a new tile and glass enclosure. Jeff was very responsive, reliable and always available for questions. He coordinated the contractors including plumbers, tilers and glass installers and kept the work moving forward. The work was professional and very well executed. His pricing was very fair with no surprises. I absolutely love my new shower."

"Our existing bathroom was a half bathroom with sink vanity, toilet, washer and dryer. We needed to eliminate laundry equipment and add shower and closet in the space that was designated for a washer and dryer, and add outside venting. We also wanted to tile the whole bathroom up to the ceiling. The job was performed excellent and we are very happy with the choices we made. Bill Perry and his crew were working in our house before renovating basement and building rooms there, so we knew that they were the best company for us. They were great giving us advice to improve on things that we wanted done, so they look and work better with a given space. We are very happy again. Thank you Perry Brothers!"

"I recently got my bathroom floor tiles changed with Flavius. He did a wonderful job! Took his time to properly install the flooring and even fixed the base flooring to make sure no issues will come up later on. I would definitely recommend him for your tile installation."

Customers say: Quality work

"Alexis Home Remodeling did an excellent job on two very tedious, out of the ordinary door projects. The storm door frame and threshold were a mix of bad prior attempts to install and support the door and threshold. Alexis removed all the junk and basically rebuilt the entire frame and threshold, installing a new threshold and storm door with a clean new look, inside and out. The second project was to reverse the bathroom door from swing-in to swing-out. I must have had 5 estimates on this job and Alexis was the only proposal that solved the problem without a big demolition and that was in my budget. He shows up on time as promised, keeps customer informed when key decisions are needed, and cleans up at the end of the day. Definitely hire again."

"Pablo Soares and his crew did a great job on our quartz countertop and backsplash. From the measurements to the removal of our old countertops to installation of our new ones, his work was excellent. I would highly recommend him."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

There are several low-maintenance shower floor tiles to consider for your bathroom. Stone tiles are easy to keep clean and only need an occasional resealing to keep them looking their best. Porcelain is another low-maintenance choice, as it doesn’t stain easily. Vinyl is also suitable for easy upkeep. On the other hand, one of the highest maintenance options for bathrooms is wood tile.

Technically, you can start tiling in a corner and work your way out. However, it's not traditionally how tiling is done. Instead, work from the bottom middle of the wall. Tile out the entire row with whole tiles before moving on to the next row. Once you finish installing all of the whole tiles, then you focus on tiling the corners.

Yes, you can tile over existing tiles in a bathroom, but it is not always recommended. For this method to be successful, the original tile surface must be clean, flat, and free of damage such as cracks, unevenness, mold, or mildew. While tiling over existing tiles can save time and money, there are potential drawbacks. The new adhesive may not bond properly, and the process adds extra weight to the wall or floor. Additionally, the increased height of the surface could interfere with door clearances. For the best and most durable results, removing the old tiles before installing new ones is generally the better option.

The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.
