"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!!"

"Brian and David did an amazing job with our kitchen, just above and beyond what one could expect. Brian took apart an entire partial wall frame, built a new one, moved existing electrical outlets and installed the drywall. He is personable and informative. Would hire again in no time."

"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

There are a few different tools you can use to score tiles. Manual tile cutters or tile scribes work well for scoring in straight lines. Tile nippers are one of the best options for scoring because they can make small and irregular cuts that larger tools may not be able to handle.

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.

As long as you follow the instructions on your peel-and-stick tile packaging, it should not damage your walls. A possible instance when you may accidentally damage your walls is if you install tiles improperly using additional adhesives that aren’t recommended.

Also, you can damage your walls if you’re not careful when removing tile. For example, you could accidentally make holes in the drywall with a paint scraper if you don’t heat the adhesive long enough before trying to pry it off.

Yes, unfortunately, it is normal for wall and floor tiles to crack, especially when you drop heavy items on tiled floors or place heavy objects on them. Tiles are also more susceptible to cracking when ceramic tiles designed for walls are installed on floors, as these are often not strong enough to handle heavy loads from foot traffic and furniture. Similarly, tiles that are installed incorrectly, lack adequate subflooring, or have other installation problems are prone to cracking. To avoid these problems and the inevitable repair and replacement costs they bring, always hire a professional for tile work and follow best practices for installation.

For professional labor and materials, it would cost between $6,000 and $28,000 to install 1,000 square feet of Saltillo tile flooring. If that’s out of your budget, you could consider laying the tiles yourself or choosing a less expensive type of flooring. For example, vinyl flooring costs just $2 to $7 per square foot, so for a 1,000-square-foot space, you’d pay $2,000 to $7,000.
