"Flavors did and outstanding job fixed our badly botched tile work in our bathroom. He is very detailed oriented and you would even know he was there when the job is complete. He is very neat and cleans throughout the project. If anyone would like to be completely satisfied hire Flavius Tile. You won't be sorry.."

"We hired Cruz and his crew to install a backsplash in our kitchen. They did a great job and got the job done in the estimated time as well as with the correct amount of materials they had us buy for the job. Very friendly and clean crew. We will definitely be using them again if we have any other tiling needs and I have already sent a few people with tiling needs the contact information. Wish I could post the before and after photos, wonderful job!"

"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."

"Hi All! If you need a tile project look no further than Lou. He was quick to provide a quote and dependable with his services. Lou completed a tile project in my kitchen with new subway tile backsplash. He provided different options and suggestions with the project. All was completed in one day with a return for the final grout work one day later. I would highly recommend him for any project!"

"Honestly - such a great experience. Vlad responded to my request within 30 minutes and was able to come over to give an estimate the next business day. He also was able to complete schedule the installation within one week . I shopped around and received several other quotes. The two other quotes were double the price and double the wait time. We were EXTREMELY pleased with the final result. They actually went above and beyond and did a few things that were not included within the original estimate (which they didnâ t charge us for). 10/10 recommend!"

"Mario upgraded our bathroom, repaired a damaged wall and installed a bannister. Mario was very hard working, had really good attention to detail, he was very communicative and respectful of our design ideas and our house during the construction process. He is very skilled at what he does and we will definitely hire him again for other projects."

"I highly recommend Affordable Home Construction. They are professional, prompt, skilled and so easy to work with. We were so happy with our kitchen tile install, that we hired them to also tile the bathroom floor and walls too. The other huge bonus is that their prices are so reasonable. The first contractor who gave us an estimate came in double the price that Perry Luke was able to give us. And the workmanship was top notch, so no trade off here. We are so pleased all around and will definitely hire them again in the future if we have a need."

"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"

"José arrived and immediately got to repair my counter had scratches and nicks. Work was very satisfactory and cleanup was not my problem! They left everything super clean, I’d hire them to reseal my granite counter!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward. 

The best paints for shower tiles include epoxy, latex, or acrylic. Ideally, you should look for paints that are waterproof and mildew-resistant if you plan to paint shower or other bathroom tiles. You can even find waterproof paints made specifically for tiled surfaces, which will be the best option for shower tile paint that lasts as long as possible.

Porcelain tiles can last 60 years or longer. With high-quality tiles and proper installation, your porcelain tiles may even outlive you, making them well worth the initial investment.

To help your porcelain tiles last longer, you should clean and maintain them regularly. You don’t need any harsh chemicals to get the job done. Rather, use a cloth, hot water, and mild detergent. And don’t forget to learn how to clean floor tile grout, as that’s just as important as tile maintenance.

Glass tiles are among the most difficult to install. This is because their transparency makes the adhesive visible, and any imperfections on the opposite side are also likely to be visible. Glass tiles also must be handled carefully during installation, as they are prone to scratching. For these reasons, glass tiles often require professional installation to get the most out of their beauty and unique look.

A cement backer board is not needed for laying tile on concrete. Sometimes referred to as a cementitious backer unit, or CBU, backer board should be used if the subfloor is plywood or OSB. The backer board provides a base on which to install the tiles that isn’t as likely to be damaged by any accidental water seepage as natural materials would be.
