"Installation Pro is an outstanding company, and I believe the best one that I have ever dealt with on any home project. Jason and Eric essentially rebuilt my deck: new floorboards, moved my steps and made them more senior-friendly, and installed black, aluminum handrails that matched my front porch railing and backyard fence. It turned out perfectly and was exactly what I wanted! It is beautiful. They also installed a back door and repaired and wrapped (in vinyl) my basement door which had had wood rot. It looked like an entirely new door and frame. I just cannot recommend this company enough. Jason always called me and arrived exactly when he said he would, the workmanship was high quality, Jason and Eric were both so pleasant, friendly, and polite. They worked very efficiently and cleaned up after themselves each day. It was refreshing to deal with such a reliable, professional company that exhibited such an excellent work ethic. I will be using Installation Pro for my next project and you should too."

"Job went great and the finished product is beautiful -- a totally remodeled master bathroom. It is truly our dream master bathroom. Tom's work improved our quality of life and his work and recommendations exceeded expectations. In addition to the work quality, Tom was a pleasure to work with and it was a joy to have him in our home. We completely remodeled our bathroom from top to bottom -- new toilet, sink, shower, etc., with subway tiles on the walls and marble mosaic tiles on the floor. Tom is a perfectionist and everything looks wonderful. We will definitely go to Tom again for additional work on our house. Tom was efficient and never sacrificed any details. I'd recommend him for anything."

"I needed a 4 panel glass shower door installed in a space where the walls were not even. Charles and Travis took extra care to make sure everything was measured correctly and fit perfectly They were courteous and cleaned up before they left. I would not hesitate to let them finish a project if I were not home and will be using them again soon."

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

The tile trim you use will depend on a few factors, including design preferences, budget, and whether the project is DIY or not. You might choose plastic trim if you want an easier DIY job that is more budget-friendly. There are also more color options available in plastic. On the other hand, you might choose metal to match your fixtures or for areas with heavy use.

Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.

Tile installation can be expensive because it requires more time and labor to install than many other materials. For example, laminate flooring can click and lock into place, and carpet comes in large rolls that you can secure to the floor. On the other hand, tiles need to be cut, laid individually, grouted, and left to cure.

Yes, cracked tiles allow water to seep through the substrate or subfloor, leading to mold and mildew growth. It can also cause severe structural damage. At the very least, water damage can cause your tile to lift from the substrate, meaning one cracked tile can lead to several cracked tiles. It’s a good idea to waterproof tile in areas with direct water exposure or lots of moisture.
