"Brandon was quick to respond, came out shortly after first contact to give a free quote which was very reasonable. He prepped the walls and installed a beautiful tile backsplash in my kitchen. He was professional, tidy, and detail oriented throughout the project. Highly recommend and will definitely hire again for any future tiling needs."

"I hired Welliz Contractors to prepare my rental property in Melrose after a tenant move-out. They handled painting, cleaning, and a variety of repairs throughout the unit. The work was completed professionally and on schedule, and the attention to detail was impressive. The apartment looked refreshed and move-in ready when they finished. Communication was excellent throughout the project, they were reliable, and the pricing was fair. As a property owner, it’s important to have contractors you can trust, and Welliz Contractors delivered quality work with no hassle. I would definitely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable painting, repair, and cleaning services."

"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!!"

"Ramy did an incredible job taking our old, outdated, and unsafe kitchen and turning it into a beautiful and modern one. He installed new floor joists, sub-flooring, floor tiling, cabinetry, backsplash tile, and a build-out for our oven hood insert. The process also included knocking out a wall, moving and modifying gas and water lines and many other smaller unforeseen details along the way. We appreciated how informative Ramy was as we moved through the process since we'd never taken on something of this size before. He even came with us to help pick out our floor tiles. We were both of a similar mindset that we wanted to focus on quality of all aspects of the job as opposed to making decisions solely based on cost. Do it once, do it right. In the end, this kitchen will last us many years and has alleviated several health and safety concerns that the old kitchen posed to our family. We will certainly be using Ramy's services again for future projects."

"Kevin did a great job with the tile we chose. He paid attention to the little details that make a big difference, like pulling the baseboards and tiling up to the walls and then replacing with new baseboard trim. He installed the new vanity we had chosen and tiled under it, instead of around it as the original builder had done. When there was a gap between our cabinets and the floor he worked with us to select the right shade of trim pieces to make it look finished. Our front door needed a special piece made to overlay the tile which he also did. He even helped repair (replace) a leaky valve for the washing machine in the laundry. Bottom line is we could not have been happier with the job. The only caveat for other readers is that he works alone and you'll need to allow slightly longer for the job than others might quote. You won't regret it if you can budget the time."

"Thomas was very quick to provide a quote and begin work. He worked over the recent 4th of July weekend. He demolished an existing tiled shower wall and pan that failed after only two years in service. He showed me each step of the way how the contractor that installed the prior shower didn’t do it correctly. He was finished on time and at a very reasonable price. My advice is don’t hire carpenters to do tile work. Hire Thomas he will do it correctly!"

"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

If you’re handling your tile removal yourself, seal the room using painter’s tape and heavy-duty contractor bags to prevent dust and shards from escaping. Use a claw hammer or a pry bar and a mallet to get behind the tile and pry it away from the floor or wall. Once your tiles are all removed, sweep everything into contractor bags for disposal, being careful not to overfill them. Make sure you wear a dust mask, safety goggles, and work gloves to keep yourself safe from injury while you work.

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.

Yes, you can install a backsplash directly onto drywall, provided the wall is properly prepped, clean, and dry. For best results, especially in kitchen areas, your walls should be made of moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board. If your current wall isn't moisture-resistant, it's recommended to replace it before installing the backsplash. For even greater protection against water damage, you can remove the existing drywall and install a tile backer board or cement board instead. While properly installed standard drywall is typically strong enough to support a backsplash, some local building codes may require water-resistant materials in kitchen areas, so it's a good idea to check.

Different types of tile cutters may work best depending on the type of tile you are cutting and the size of your project. There are two main types of tile cutters: manual and electric. Manual tile cutters are quick and easy to use for small projects and softer tile materials, but they can only make straight cuts. Electric tile cutters make light work of big projects and can cut through harder materials.

It’s important to leave a gap in the corner when tiling to allow room for tile expansion. Leaving between one eighth of an inch to one tenth of an inch is enough space.
