"Rich from RJ services did a spectacular job installing the tile of my second floor cape house shower stall and vanity! Rich was nothing but professional, timely with completing the job, and very clean. Along with his obvious skill and knowledge he is a very pleasant and sociable man. At all times he was polite and courteous, punctual and kept us informed of his progress. The end result of his labour is very impressive and just what we were hoping for I would highly recommend his services for your tiling needs and we will certainly be using RJ services in the future."

"Outstanding attention by Renato and his crew to every detail! 120 sq feet of porcelain kitchen floor tile looks absolutely perfect. The workmen did a terrific job of shielding the rest of the area from any dust or airborne debris, cleaned up after themselves thoroughly, and accommodated our schedule when the job turned out to be more complex and time-consuming than first proposed (we chose to use smaller tiles than originally planned). Renato graciously accepted this change with no increase in the fixed price for the installation. He also kindly assisted us in delivering the tiles; did a successful spot repair to a dishwasher wiring cable that had begun to disintegrate at the connection box ; and even repurposed for us a spare wooden panel to better conceal the side of the dishwasher! We would give his team 6 stars if we could. His price was very competitive and fair, and I am happy to recommend him wholeheartedly!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.

Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.

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.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

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.
