"The company is professional and the work is high quality! They not only install cabinets (to perfection), but they paint, put in moulding, drywall installation/finishing, install doors, new sinks, and floor tile. Everything was done to satisfaction! I would highly recommend this company."
"I would strongly recommend Top Tier if you plan to remodel your kitchen. They did a great job from design to installation. There was a little delay, but that didn't affect the outcome. A special thanks to Mike, the designer and a great craftsman. Mike really went the extra miles to make our new kitchen beautiful. Ben and Ray also did excellent work on the flooring, backsplash, and cabinets. A great team effort to make my beautiful kitchen come true. It is definitely Top Tier!"

"The work performed, and the service received were all as should be expected. Our project was delayed because our materials were received damaged, and had to be replaced. I would stress that the materials be inspected immediately upon receipt. Our damaged materials were not known until they were being installed. Customer service was great. The workers were polite. Plastic was laid on our floor throughout to prevent unnecessary trafficking of dirt from outside. We would hire this company again."
"We live in Sunrise Beach and had this Company do all our flooring. They did an awesome job on the carpet, laminate and tile projects. Made an awesome walk in shower. We were new to the area and unsure of who to hire, so glad we hired these guys. Very reliable and hard working with emphasis on perfection."
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Yes. You can tile over tile if the old tile is in good shape, but this will also create a thicker floor. As a result, you may have to remove and readjust baseboards and other room trimmings and potentially even raise door heights to work with the higher floors. In most projects, it’s best to remove the old tile before installing a new tile floor.
The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.
Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while tile installation cost is higher, it’s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don’t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren’t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.
On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.
Whether you use a brush or roller depends on the size, shape, and amount of tiles. Rollers are easier to maneuver over large areas and can apply a more even coat of paint in a shorter time frame with no visible brushstrokes. Brushes are best for precision work, particularly in very small areas. If you don't want visible brushstrokes on your painted tiles, you can paint details with small foam brushes instead of bristled paint brushes.
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.
