"Matt is awesome. His company did my entire first floor. Demo'ed all the old flooring and installed new. We went with the ceramic tile planks that looks like hard wood. They did an awesome job. The floors looks beautiful and we could not be happier. Also, the job was done in March during the start of the pandemic, but Matt and his crew showed up everyday and completed the job with meticulous precision. If you are searching for a floor installer, hire Tempco and you will not be disappointed."

Customers say: Quality work

"Ornel and Al did a great job and I am very pleased with the outcome. The tile was placed too closely to the electrical outlets and someone had to use a dremel to file the tile so the outlets could be installed, which was a pain. Ornel installed a 3 mural tile over my stove and took great care with the spacing and placement of that. I would hire them again!"

"I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Smith Tile, Flooring & Renovations. Sam, the owner, brought professionalism and expertise from start to finish. He was punctual, respectful of my home, and paid close attention to every detail while installing vinyl flooring throughout my basement. He was extremely accommodating, answering all my questions and offering valuable suggestions and design insights that improved the final look. His knowledge and craftsmanship were clear in every step of the process. Pricing was fair and in line with other quotes I received, but Sam’s communication and quality of work truly set him apart. My basement looks amazing, and I’m so glad I chose Sam for my remodel. I highly recommend Smith Tile, Flooring & Renovations to anyone looking for skill, reliability, and excellent results."

"Omar was a sub-contractor for my company on a large scale commercial residential renovation and did such great work that I hired him at my house after the job was complete. He was very knowledgeable, had great work ethic, had great communication, and went above and beyond to make sure the end product he was providing was of the highest quality."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Removing old tiles can be more complicated, but it can also be more manageable, depending on your circumstances. Typically, old tile is hard to remove because the adhesive had loads of time to bond with your wall, becoming a formidable foe between you and your new tile installation project. On the other hand, old tile in high-traffic areas can become loose, making it much easier to remove.

The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.

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.

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.

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.
