"I am very pleased with the results. The existing fiberglass shower was removed, as well as the ceramic tile in other area of bathroom. I purchased the tile which was my choice, McDowell Tile would have done that if that was my desire. Subway tile (4" x12") was installed floor to ceiling, octagon tile on the shower floor, and 12" x 12" floor tile on the remaining bath area. Jim McDowell is the owner of the company and is easy to work with and takes pride in doing the job right (not cutting corners/taking short cuts). He had to build part of a wall out to accommodate the change from fiberglass to tile, plus I added some additional tiling during the process. I will hire McDowell's again if/when the need arises and highly recommend him for your bathroom tiling (or remodel - he can handle more than the tiling if you wish)."

"I had a father son team do the install. They spent extra time on all the finishing details. The seller is a bit high pressure but after having several estimates their big advantage was timing. One thing the salesman got wrong however is the flush mount vents. He told me they were in backorder and can be installed later. The installers made it clear they they were indeed back ordered but if I wanted then they needed during the install. Luckily I found a set at LL and my installers stained and installed them."

"Janet and her crew did an excellent job clearing out the previous floor coverings and laying our beautiful new LVP. The care taken to place each tile makes our new floors outstanding! I recommend Kurly’s Creation to anyone looking for updated and professionally installed flooring or carpeting."

"It worked out well. Everything was fine. The day they had originally planned to come I realized I had a doctor's appointment, so they rescheduled. They ran over the two hour time frame. I had to pay for two more hours because they had to re-tile and they did a little plastering of my ceiling. I had a leak and it buckled a little area of my ceiling, but they plastered that and they have to come back to repaint it. They had to take the vanity back out to get to the wall to put in the tile and they had to reattach the vanity. They say two hours, but they divide the time. One hour per person, so instead of 2 hours it is one hour per person. They say it is two labor hours because each person does an hour of work. They do good work. Some people might be thrown off when they say two hours and they work an hour between the two of them. It is okay as long as they are consistently working that time frame. They pretty much knew what they had to do. I explained to them what needed to be done and they went about getting it done. I had to buy the materials for them to provide the labor. I plan to use them to finish up the total job that needs to be done. The ceiling needs repainted. They tore out the vanity and put the new vanity in."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Lack of durability is the most significant downside of painting tile. However, a painted tile backsplash doesn't see the same kind of action as, say, painted flooring tiles. For backsplashes, the durability of the finish is crucial because they often require cleaning. However, you can minimize the durability problem by using mild cleaners and water on the painted surfaces.

The number of boxes of tile you need depends entirely on the amount of tile in each box or case. Different manufacturers package their tiles differently, and boxes contain different amounts of tile depending on the size, shape, and material. Often, the amount of area that a case will cover is listed in the product description. To calculate the number of boxes you need, take the total square feet of the space and divide it by the number of square feet the box will cover.

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.

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). 

Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.
