"I recently had a shower installed by Real Deal Remodeling, and I couldn't be happier with the experience — from the consultation with Lance to the incredible work of Robert, the installer. During the consultation, Lance was professional, informative, honest, and provided exceptional pricing! As for the installation, from start to finish, Robert was everything you could hope for in a professional: meticulous, personable, and impressively knowledgeable. Robert approached the project with true craftsmanship and pride, going above and beyond by working tirelessly in 12-hour shifts to ensure everything was perfect. Despite running into multiple pre-existing issues, Robert never cut corners. Instead, he took the time to walk me through his plan, discuss potential solutions, and make sure every step aligned with my expectations. His openness, honesty, and precision gave me complete confidence that the final product would be exactly what I envisioned — and it absolutely was. Robert also made it a point to include me in the process, checking in regularly to make sure I was satisfied and thoroughly explaining any necessary aftercare and maintenance for the new shower. It's rare to find someone so dedicated and respectful of both their work and their clients. If you're considering any remodeling work, I can't recommend Real Deal Remodeling — and Robert specifically — highly enough. You'll be in the hands of someone who truly cares about delivering quality and making sure you're happy every step of the way."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a backsplash directly onto drywall, provided the wall is properly prepped, clean, and dry. For best results, especially in kitchen areas, your walls should be made of moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board. If your current wall isn't moisture-resistant, it's recommended to replace it before installing the backsplash. For even greater protection against water damage, you can remove the existing drywall and install a tile backer board or cement board instead. While properly installed standard drywall is typically strong enough to support a backsplash, some local building codes may require water-resistant materials in kitchen areas, so it's a good idea to check.

If you’re handling your tile removal yourself, seal the room using painter’s tape and heavy-duty contractor bags to prevent dust and shards from escaping. Use a claw hammer or a pry bar and a mallet to get behind the tile and pry it away from the floor or wall. Once your tiles are all removed, sweep everything into contractor bags for disposal, being careful not to overfill them. Make sure you wear a dust mask, safety goggles, and work gloves to keep yourself safe from injury while you work.

If you’re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you’ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set.

Like any painted surface, tile paint can peel and chip over time. However, tile paint can become especially susceptible to peeling during periods of high humidity. Other sources of excess moisture will also cause tile paint to peel faster than normal. And if the tiles are in a high-traffic area, like the entryway floor, tile paint will chip and peel faster.

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.
