"Ronal and his assistant did a great job. They were punctual, communicative, and did a beautiful job repairing our kitchen wall and installing a tile backsplash with hexagonal tiles, and leaving the area sparkling clean. Would definitely recommend."
"The two installers did a wonderful job including tile placement with grout, matching wood liners to the counters, and cleaning up afterwards. They explained what they were doing and did an excellent job. The sales representative was informative, but I wanted more choices. He was patient with my decision making. We are totally happy with our kitchen floor."
"They did such an amazing job on my bathroom remodel! Everything came out even better than I hoped, and you can really see the care and detail they put into their work. The team was super easy to work with, professional, and made the whole process stress free. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!"
"Highly Recommended!!! They do a very Clean and Professional work !!! Recently have done various projects for me. Replace vinyl flooring throughout our offices, installed wood panels on our ceiling and also retile one side of our pool !!! Awesome job"

Saw Re-Bath at the Fall Maryland Home & Garden show and requested a free at home consultation. John Vesperman, who is an owner, came to my home and advised me what they could do for me to fix my problem with my hall bath. I also had him look at my master bath and asked if he could re caulk my tub and walls and install a couple of grab bars plus a new tub spout. He did not pressure me to sign a contract at the time of consultation. He advised me to visit their showroom to see the tub and wall systems in full size to be sure I was getting the color and style wall system and tub I wanted. Only after I was sure I was getting what I wanted did he write the contract. He even gave me a $500 discount for seeing them at the Home Show. After John received the materials he worked with my schedule to do the job, so I did not have to miss any time at my job. John and his father Bill, who is also an owner, came on time and started by laying protective runners in the path to my bathroom not to dirty my carpets and hardwood floor in the entry way. They kept any dust and debris contained not to mess up my home during the demolition of the old tub and tile walls.
Everything went as John said it would. NO SUPRISES. I'm VERY happy with my new hall bath and spruced up master bath. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting bathroom remodeling done. Thanks John & Bill for a great job.
"My request is that is had be be without my name. The quote was very fast, the turn around very quick. Because it was not a huge job., it was able to install the next day after talking to Mike. Experienced installer."
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
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.
Whether you use a brush or roller depends on the size, shape, and amount of tiles. Rollers are easier to maneuver over large areas and can apply a more even coat of paint in a shorter time frame with no visible brushstrokes. Brushes are best for precision work, particularly in very small areas. If you don't want visible brushstrokes on your painted tiles, you can paint details with small foam brushes instead of bristled paint brushes.
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.
Yes, cracked tiles allow water to seep through the substrate or subfloor, leading to mold and mildew growth. It can also cause severe structural damage. At the very least, water damage can cause your tile to lift from the substrate, meaning one cracked tile can lead to several cracked tiles. It’s a good idea to waterproof tile in areas with direct water exposure or lots of moisture.
Glass, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone are all excellent choices for tiling a shower floor. Some glazed finishes can be slippery when wet. Your tiling contractor can provide more information on which tiles will work best for your shower floor.
