"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."

"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!"

"Pat and his crew did a great job with my project. They installed a new tile floor in the kitchen, hallway, and bath, and installed a new backsplash in the kitchen. I had a tight timeframe. They were able to accommodate the schedule I needed and got the job done on time. The work was high quality. I would hire them again in the future for other projects."

"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."

"Ramy was pleasant to work with, professional, polite and an excellent craftsman. He was helpful in sharing his design ideas and also was a good listener. He installed the flooring and wall tile just as we wanted. Everything was done in a timely manner and all the work was either performed or supervised by Ramy himself. We are very pleased with his work."

"Allen tile did a fantastic job. I am so impressed with the hard work put into this job. The tile looks absolutely gorgeous! All the work that was done was completed to perfection. I was also comfortable leaving Kevin in my home when I was gone which was a huge plus to have someone you can trust. I would recommend Allen tile to anyone."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Bathrooms are naturally moisture-rich environments, so choose a durable, water-resistant tile for your tub surround. Porcelain and ceramic are two popular options that are also quite affordable. Glass is another good option that’s also low-maintenance—you just need a glass cleaner like you would use on the bathroom mirror. Natural stone tile is porous, but it’s still a viable option if you choose it in a glazed version.

Whether you use a brush or roller depends on the size, shape, and amount of tiles. Rollers are easier to maneuver over large areas and can apply a more even coat of paint in a shorter time frame with no visible brushstrokes. Brushes are best for precision work, particularly in very small areas. If you don't want visible brushstrokes on your painted tiles, you can paint details with small foam brushes instead of bristled paint brushes.

You have creative freedom when it comes to your tile trim. If, however, you are considering skipping tile trim, please think twice about that. It is good practice to install tile trim, whether on walls or flooring. Think, too, about the aesthetic you are going for and choose a trim type and color that will help enhance the space.

Technically, you can start tiling in a corner and work your way out. However, it's not traditionally how tiling is done. Instead, work from the bottom middle of the wall. Tile out the entire row with whole tiles before moving on to the next row. Once you finish installing all of the whole tiles, then you focus on tiling the corners.

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.
