"Tom Vo recently tiled our bathrooms and kitchen backsplash. Although his prices are fairly expensive, he takes tremendous pride in his work and it is impeccable. In addition to tile installation, he installed medicine cabinets and repaired the base of a leaky toilet. We highly recommend Tom Vo."

"Velasco Tile Inc. did such a beautiful job on our backsplash installation. They were so conscientious when working in our home. From the fist visit for a quote to completion of the project, they were in contact with us, checking in halfway through the project to see if we wanted any adjustments. The work is so well done. It's looks better than I could have hoped! Will definitely hire them for future projects."

"Gil and his team did a number of jobs for us including taking down a wall to open up our kitchen and dining room, repairing some cabinets, hanging a door, installing a tile backsplash above our sink, and installing new floors. All of the work was done with care and attention to detail and at a reasonable price. Gil is consistently professional and courteous. We will certainly be hiring New England Carpentry in the future!"

Not only is Ari?s work great with the big projects he is also extremely helpful with countless small jobs. He just finished all new doors with new frames for entire house, beautiful. Great communicator, Ari is always honest and straight forward with budget conversations."

Small jobs welcome

"We were renovating a small bathroom by ourselves and selected beautiful large format tiles for the shower. They are 3 ft x 3 ft Porcelain and were beyond our capability to install them. We spoke with three contractors to handle the installation and selected D Alba Construction based upon 1) The rapid response and ability to start the job quickly, 2) The attention to details during discussions of various options, 3) Their emphasis regarding quality and customer satisfaction, and 4) A fair price We could not be happier. From the prep-work to ensure the job wouldn't mess up the rest of the house, and the application of waterproofing material that I had overlooked, to the final cleanup, they were professional and extremely competent. The installation was perfect, as was the follow-on job of plaster work to blend in the walls and ceiling surfaces with the newly placed tiles. We will definitely use them again and are already having conceptual discussions for bigger projects in the Fall."

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Tiling can be DIY with the right tools and skills, but challenges like ensuring evenness and appropriate adhesion often warrant professional handling.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

If you want your ceramic tiles to be evenly spaced and installation to take less time, spacers are a crucial part of the installation process.

Impact, water infiltration, or shifting subfloors often cause damage. Regular inspections help prevent significant issues.

Yes, you can use paint if you want to refresh your tile countertops. However, you must be mindful of the type of paint you use. Look for options explicitly created for tile that are also waterproof and durable. Over time, the paint will chip, so this is not considered a long-term solution for busy kitchens.
