"I'm very happy with the backsplash Pride Home Remodeling installed in my kitchen. The job consisted of repairing a large hole left by an old vent and installing c. 20 sf of glass tile. Pride's price was competitive, the job was totally professional and best of all, the backsplash looks superb."

"The work has been done exceeding my expectation. Because of unexpected schedule, I was not there when the work was done, so when I checked it out next day, it was done just as expected. I am very happy for this company's work. BTW, I had opportunity to view their countertop materials show rooms, there are so many choices. So I would recommend it without any reservation."

"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

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.

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.

Yes, provided you aren’t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.

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.

The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.
