"I hired Bob to do repairs and renovation of a condo rental unit. He renovated the bathroom with new tiles, replacing bathroom rotten wood frame window with a vinyl frame, installing new light fixtures and repairing bathroom plumbing, repairing torn screens, as well as repainting interior walls and trim throughout the unit and installing new shades throughout. He also plastered water-damaged ceilings and cleaned and organized the basement storage area. On the exterior he replaced a rotted window frame and missing clapboards, then patched and painted the wall. Bob arrived early each day and worked diligently. Bob is a great problem solver and works with you to suggest ways to do repairs for the best outcome while keeping costs down. His work is high quality. I would definitely hire him again."

"I recently got my bathroom floor tiles changed with Flavius. He did a wonderful job! Took his time to properly install the flooring and even fixed the base flooring to make sure no issues will come up later on. I would definitely recommend him for your tile installation."

"My wife and I have recently completed a remodel of our home with Brothers Remodeling. The finished product was more than we expected! The craftmanship, mindfulness, communication throughout the project, and the design ideas and improvements during the project from Art and his team turned our vision into a reality. We could not have been more satisfied with the finished product! Please do not make the mistake I made. About 3 years prior, I decided to install new floors and chose one of those big TV companies to perform the work. After Artâ  s team came in and started working, I realized even more how much of a mistake it was to choose the TV company. I end up tearing out and replacing the TV company's floors and wasted money in the process. The TV companyâ  s craftsmanship was poor at best. I had to have the kitchen floors torn out twice and replaced. Art and his team at Brothers Remodeling are truly consummate professionals!! All the sub-contractors such as plumbers, tile & floor installers, painters, and electricians treated our home throughout the process with respect and professionalism. I was never concerned about having people in my home while I was not there, and neither should you! If you need or want work performed on your home, you must go with Brothers Remodeling!! You will not regret it! As they say, â  measure twice, and cut once,â  well, with Brothers Remodeling, you only need to measure once, and cut once!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Ideally, you should remove tile before installing hardwood floors, but there are good reasons not to. Removing stubborn tile can be a labor-intensive job that adds days to the project. The subfloor beneath the tiles could also be damaged during the process, meaning you’d have to repair the subfloor before installing the new hardwood floor. 

Many homeowners have successfully retiled a bathroom themselves. It can be a challenging but rewarding process, but it’s best for someone who already has at least intermediate DIY skills.

Lack of durability is the most significant downside of painting tile. However, a painted tile backsplash doesn't see the same kind of action as, say, painted flooring tiles. For backsplashes, the durability of the finish is crucial because they often require cleaning. However, you can minimize the durability problem by using mild cleaners and water on the painted surfaces.

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.

You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.
