"The tile looked great! They were easy to work with & completed the work in a timely manner. I had to spend some time after they left cleaning up & scrubbing something off the vanity, toilet, & bathtub. I m not sure if it was from the grout or caulk. They were the only company I contacted that did everything they said they would do. I would definitely hire them again."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Impact, water infiltration, or shifting subfloors often cause damage. Regular inspections help prevent significant issues.
Installations typically take 1-3 days, depending on area size; repairs are usually completed sooner if the issue is localized.
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.
Yes, it’s possible to cut tile without a wet saw; instead, you can use an angle grinder, a glass cutter, a snap cutter, tile nippers, or a rotary tool with a tile-cutting blade. A manual tile cutter or snap cutter works well for the larger tiles that wet saws are typically used for, while smaller projects might just require nippers or a glass cutting wheel. If you’re working with large quantities of tile, however, power tools are best.
Updating your backsplash without removing the tile is possible in a couple of different ways. First, you can remove the old grout and replace it with new grout to give your backsplash a fresh look. You can also change the grout color, which can have a surprisingly large impact on the final appearance of the backsplash. Finally, you can paint the original tile to totally change the look of the backsplash without removing it.
