"First of all, Jake was very quick to respond for an estimate. Throughout the estimate process, we changed a number of things along the way and Jake was very prompt in adjusting the estimate to the revised work. When we finally agreed on the details, he set a schedule. In a miserable snowstorm, he showed up at the appointed time on the appointed day and began the tearout. It went smoothly. When he started to do the install, he explained several options for certain things such as the size of the niche and he adjusted his layout accordingly. We wanted a glass tile mosiac running from floor to ceiling at the valve and showerhead. He scalloped the edges of the tile rather than cutting the glass. It is magnificant. We had purchased an expensive glass shower door from Your Shower Door a couple of years before and hoped to use it in the new shower. Jake worked with that company to get the specs of the opening exact so that the door reinstalled perfectly. He knows all the latest materials, procedures and techniques. He worked on Saturday and Sunday in order to complete the job in a very timely manner. Cleanup was meticulous. A true professional. PS - when Your Shower Door came to reinstall their product, they were so impressed with the scalloped wall tile, they had to take a picture of it for future reference."

"Jim has done a few different projects for me. Installed a TV mount on a wall, assembled furniture, and painted a large backyard fence. With each job he did great work, was on time, he kept things clean and efficient, and just a good guy to work with. He's now my go to guy for such projects and I highly recommend him."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward. 

It’s important to leave a gap in the corner when tiling to allow room for tile expansion. Leaving between one eighth of an inch to one tenth of an inch is enough space. 

Tiles last for around 100 years or more. Tiles on backsplashes can last even longer since they’re less likely to crack under foot traffic or from accidental drops, but even tile in high-traffic flooring can last a century or more with proper installation and upkeep. Porcelain tiles are denser and stronger than standard ceramic tiles, so they’ll last longer, often pushing past the 100-year mark.

Using caulk is one of the simplest and most recommended methods to finish glass tile edges. It creates an elegant seam between the glass tile and the adjacent area, along with a waterproof seal. With this method, you want to use a caulk color that matches the grout and, along with the grout, compliments the tile. Make sure the caulk line is smooth and even. Alternatively, you can use a bullnose or tile trimming to edge, however, that will also require caulk to seal.

For glass tile, you want to use unsanded grout. Sanded grout is a stronger and grittier cement grout that is great for installing tiles with wider gaps and into joints. However, it is susceptible to scratching glass tile and is more difficult to use in thinner gaps. Unsanded grout, while more expensive, is easier to fit between thin gaps and is less harsh on delicate materials, like glass tile.
