"Claudio and his crew were very easy to work with - they arrived on time, did an excellent job laying out our tile and Claudio personally stands behind his company's work. If their attention to detail is always this good, I know we'll be hiring them again for additional house projects."

"Ari does amazing work!! He upgraded our half bath upstairs to a full bath with a beautiful new shower. After that he redid our entire main bathroom, awesome tile work. 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 questions, answered by experts

Grout lines should typically be between 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick. This ensures enough room for the grout to dry properly and makes them wide enough to look clean and professional. If grout lines are too small, it can be easier to see imperfections in the spacing. 

Tile—specifically smaller, mosaic-style tiles—is the best type of flooring for building a walk-in shower base. Shower pans come with a threshold and sidewalls to contain the water, but tile can be set into the shower base. This creates a walk-in shower floor that gently slopes toward the drain to keep water from getting out and into the rest of the bathroom.

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.

Travertine is a natural stone, while porcelain is ceramic. You can enjoy the best of both worlds with porcelain travertine tiles. Some people prefer porcelain to travertine because it doesn’t require regular maintenance and it’s easier to clean. Porcelain travertine looks like the real thing but only costs $3 to $6 per square foot.

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.
