"I’m very happy with my new tile floor installed by Renato and his crew at Pride Home Remodeling. They installed porcelain tiles on 300 sf of kitchen and hallway. They took great care moving appliances and demolishing the old floor. The debris was contained well and the area was always left as neat as possible at the end of each day. The installation was meticulous. The tiles and grout lines are even and the floor feels very stable (unlike my previous install which had to be replaced) . Communication with Renato was very easy and he kept me informed along the way. When the job was finished everything was put back and care was taken that all appliances were reconnected properly and in working order. I’m so happy with this floor and the work that was done."

"Thiago not only completely fixed my sinking kitchen sink and repaired an ugly crack in my granite; he also brought a plummer to ensure that the installation of my new (under lifetime warranty) faucet went smoothly for me. He explained what he needed to do to fix everything before he arrived to do the job, and was extremely reassuring about the lasting strength of his work. Thiago went the extra mile in every respect and deserves the best rating possible in all areas!!"

"Mr. Terry was awesome! This is my first review I am writing. I felt I needed to write something as his work was so outstanding. He repaired 16 windows and did it beautifully. Marvin's quoted over $40K!! He was able to do what was needed for much much less. He was honest, professional, meticulous, extremely knowledgeable and kind. Miles above the window brand quotes which are ridiculous. Would strongly recommend if you need any window repairs!!!"

"We had WS Builders install a cedar privacy fence around the perimeter of our yard. They did an excellent job building the fence to follow a curve in the corner of our property along with a gate on the opposite end. They were very responisve in our initial communications and a professional crew to work with, completeing the job within one day. I would recommend them to anyone."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don’t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.

The rule tells you how to cut tile to install it in a corner. The 3/4/5 rule recommends that you should have 3 feet across on one straight line, four feet on the other perpendicular line, and 5 feet of length from the end of one of the lines to the other. You’re making a right triangle with the tile, and the hypotenuse (the line across from where the 3-foot lie and 4-foot line meet) should be 5 feet long.

Tile installation can be expensive because it requires more time and labor to install than many other materials. For example, laminate flooring can click and lock into place, and carpet comes in large rolls that you can secure to the floor. On the other hand, tiles need to be cut, laid individually, grouted, and left to cure.

Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.

Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.
