"I hired Welliz Contractors to prepare my rental property in Melrose after a tenant move-out. They handled painting, cleaning, and a variety of repairs throughout the unit. The work was completed professionally and on schedule, and the attention to detail was impressive. The apartment looked refreshed and move-in ready when they finished. Communication was excellent throughout the project, they were reliable, and the pricing was fair. As a property owner, it’s important to have contractors you can trust, and Welliz Contractors delivered quality work with no hassle. I would definitely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable painting, repair, and cleaning services."

"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!"

"Jean did great job explaining what we needed to repair and we knew it is only a temporary fix of our bathroom tile. It buys us time until we can do a full remodel we are not ready for. They completed the project in two days allowing us to get back to using the shower in quick time. Would hire again. Reasonable price all things considered these days"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, it would be best if you waterproofed your shower walls before tiling. The cement backing board behind the tile is not waterproof; it’s only water-resistant. On top of your tile backing board, be sure to use a waterproof shower membrane before you start installing your shower tiles.

A cement backer board is not needed for laying tile on concrete. Sometimes referred to as a cementitious backer unit, or CBU, backer board should be used if the subfloor is plywood or OSB. The backer board provides a base on which to install the tiles that isn’t as likely to be damaged by any accidental water seepage as natural materials would be.

To maintain tile and grout, clean the surfaces regularly with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and wipe up spills promptly to prevent buildup. It is also important to reseal the grout every 1-2 years to maintain its durability.

Yes, you can tile a shower as a DIY project, and you can save hundreds of dollars in labor costs by doing so. However, you’ll need to rent or buy quite a few tools and supplies for the job, including a saw, tile nippers, and a new shower pan. In terms of the work itself, you should be prepared to tackle a variety of different tasks, including measuring and ordering materials, removing old tile, waterproofing the wall, adding rows of tile, grouting, and more.

Larger tiles can be difficult to install because they’re heavier and bulkier than their smaller counterparts, which makes them harder to haul around and put in place. Plus, if you don’t install the tiles correctly, they could crack or break. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a professional for large-format tile installation.
