"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."

"I hired Guillen Reyes to install a vanity and shower hardware as well as patch holes in my wall, from my house being replumbed. They did fantastic work and I ended up expanding the project to having my shower grout redone. They were professional, informative and they cleaned up when they were done. I have already recommended them to my neighbor’s and plan to use them shaking in the future."

"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."

"Roland and his team are fantastic to work with. They are on time, friendly and they listen to what needs to be done. I have never worked with a contractor that is so easy to get a hold of. I am very pleased with our tile work and with the caulking that needed to be done - will absolutely hire again!"

"Did an excellent job.  Started by sanding the walls to get the best finish.  Painting included an accent wall in a darker shade and book shelves.  Were very professional and punctual.  Worked very quickly finishing the job in the early afternoon.  Start time was 7 am.  I highly recommend this firm for any painting needs.

"From the onset, I had an AMAZING experience with Hugo Carpet Service. Mario, the Sr. Sales Manager, was a gem and he values effective and efficient communication. They came out and did an estimate, I asked a few questions and the responsiveness was on POINT. Additionally, I caused a scheduling mishap and they were able to accommodate my schedule changes. I also appreciate that they were able to install the flooring that I already purchased. The floor looks great and I have ALREADY (and will continue to ) recommend them."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.

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.

Technically, you can start tiling in a corner and work your way out. However, it's not traditionally how tiling is done. Instead, work from the bottom middle of the wall. Tile out the entire row with whole tiles before moving on to the next row. Once you finish installing all of the whole tiles, then you focus on tiling the corners.

The easiest tile size to install is large tiles, and they’re easier to install than small tiles—the job is faster and simpler when there’s less placing, adhering, and grouting to do. However, when tiles get really big, they’re more difficult to handle, cut, and fit. Standard floor tile sizes are 12-by-12 inches, 18-by-18 inches, and 12-by-24 inches.

Uniform spacing between tiles is important for a professional and clean appearance. To achieve this spacing, tile spacers should be placed between the tiles and left in place until the mortar hardens and the tiles are secure. You can use X-shaped spacers vertically in between the tiles and laid flat at the corners.
