"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."

"Gil and his team did a number of jobs for us including taking down a wall to open up our kitchen and dining room, repairing some cabinets, hanging a door, installing a tile backsplash above our sink, and installing new floors. All of the work was done with care and attention to detail and at a reasonable price. Gil is consistently professional and courteous. We will certainly be hiring New England Carpentry in the future!"

"Hi All! If you need a tile project look no further than Lou. He was quick to provide a quote and dependable with his services. Lou completed a tile project in my kitchen with new subway tile backsplash. He provided different options and suggestions with the project. All was completed in one day with a return for the final grout work one day later. I would highly recommend him for any project!"

"Mario upgraded our bathroom, repaired a damaged wall and installed a bannister. Mario was very hard working, had really good attention to detail, he was very communicative and respectful of our design ideas and our house during the construction process. He is very skilled at what he does and we will definitely hire him again for other projects."

"Honestly - such a great experience. Vlad responded to my request within 30 minutes and was able to come over to give an estimate the next business day. He also was able to complete schedule the installation within one week . I shopped around and received several other quotes. The two other quotes were double the price and double the wait time. We were EXTREMELY pleased with the final result. They actually went above and beyond and did a few things that were not included within the original estimate (which they didnâ t charge us for). 10/10 recommend!"

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

You can often find many types of peel and stick tile at big-box home improvement stores. Other places to shop for this type of material include home decor websites, other types of big-box stores, and even directly from the manufacturer. It’s a good idea to order a tile sample first to see how you like the look and feel before installing it.

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.

It’s possible to walk on a clay tile roof, but you run the risk of breaking or cracking the tiles if you’re not careful, so it’s best not to walk on it if you can avoid it. If you or a contractor needs roof access, be sure to distribute your weight evenly and step on the portions of tile that are also supported underneath, which depends on your tile design. Walking on any roofing material is inherently dangerous, so wear rubber-soled shoes and use safety equipment if you need to access your roof.

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). 

Once cracks appear, it is hard to stop tiles from cracking more. If the cause of the problem is improper subflooring, underlying concrete, improper tile joint sizes, mold growth, or structural issues, the only way to stop floor tiles from cracking is to redo the entire floor, fixing the underlying issues first. If cracks occur after impact damage, hiring a professional tile contractor to replace the cracked tiles, fix loose floor tiles, and restore the grout around them can prevent further damage. It is also important to keep your tile and grout clean and maintained to prolong its life.
