"Dan and his team were excellent. They were very communicative and had good ideas for various floors. The tile and new wood staining came out great. I would definitely use them again. Dan was sure to make sure everything came out right - even redid a good portion of the stain when we thought they might be finished. He definitely expects the absolute best."

"Colin did a fantastic job replacing a tile floor in our master bathroom. The job required removal of existing tiles and replacing the backing subfloor. Everything was done within the expected budget and time frame. We would call on them again for ourr next tiling pro."

Leawood Kitchen and Bath did a complete demo on a small bathroom, They replaced all the sheetrock, built a custom tile shower, new tiles on our floor, Had to run new electrical wires for outlets and lighting.  Finished it all with a great paint job.

This was a great find on my part to find a company that would come in and give me a bid, help plan the layout.  and was able to answer any concerns or questions I had.

They were able to do this work in less than a week.  This company has a complete staff of very qualified workers to handle every aspect of remodeling job.

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Your floors should be completely level for tile, otherwise you risk damaging the tiles in the future. When there are even small gaps or hills in the subfloor beneath the tile, this puts more pressure on the tile when you walk around on the floor. With repeated traffic, the tiles are at risk of cracking, and you’ll have to deal with tile repairs sooner than if the floor was completely level.

For professional labor and materials, it would cost between $6,000 and $28,000 to install 1,000 square feet of Saltillo tile flooring. If that’s out of your budget, you could consider laying the tiles yourself or choosing a less expensive type of flooring. For example, vinyl flooring costs just $2 to $7 per square foot, so for a 1,000-square-foot space, you’d pay $2,000 to $7,000.
