"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

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth. 

You can use sanded or unsanded grout for a shower pan, but sanded grout isn’t the best option for shower walls. For those areas, you’ll want to use unsanded grout, which works well on vertical surfaces and is less likely to slump than sanded grout. Alternatively, you can use epoxy grout for shower walls.

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.

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.
