"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 luxury vinyl flooring installed on my stairs leading to my basement. My experience was positive. My installer Mike was on time, efficient, did a very nice, through, clean job. Consequence of the finished look, asked questions when needed and cleaned up after he finished."

"We called to get a estimate scheduled, Jay Nyboer came out in a timely manner he was very pleasant and professional. He listened to what we wanted to have done came back within a week with the estimates. We agreed on the price and the date his company could do the job. Even though the date we agreed on had to be rescheduled 3 days later...the men were here bright and early and got started. The men were friendly and seem to know what needed to be done...we had one day delay because it rained but they were back the next day ready to work. When the roof was completed the men cleaned up very well. There was a 4 day delay from when the roof was complete and the gutters were installed. My husband had to call Jay to find out what was going on and it seem to be a communication error on their part. The different crew men that came to install the gutters were also friendly, it was a very hot day, but they completed the job and we are pleased with the work. We are very pleased with all the work we had done and will hire Nyboer again when needed."

"Jesse was very professional and came out to give us an estimate quickly. His craftsmanship and attention to detail is great. He is quickly and I am impressed with his work on our home. He has knocked down walls and installed drywall. He is also doing painting and flooring. I would recommend him for any household job you may need."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

There are a few different tools you can use to score tiles. Manual tile cutters or tile scribes work well for scoring in straight lines. Tile nippers are one of the best options for scoring because they can make small and irregular cuts that larger tools may not be able to handle.

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.

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.

No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.

When choosing between porcelain and ceramic tile, the best option depends on your specific needs, budget, and project application. Porcelain tile is generally more durable, denser, and harder than ceramic, making it a good choice for busy, high-traffic areas. It also offers superior moisture resistance, making it ideal for moisture-retaining spaces. However, porcelain is typically more expensive, and its hardness can make it brittle, potentially causing it to crack if a heavy object is dropped on it. In contrast, ceramic tile is a more budget-friendly option with lower material and installation costs. It is softer and easier to work with, making it a great choice for DIY projects. While not as durable as porcelain, ceramic is still a quality material suitable for many home applications, particularly small, decorative projects.
