"Hire this company. If you have lived in Brunswick or New Hanover County for long you know how difficult it can be hiring anyone reputable and reasonable. These guys are the real deal. The insulation went flawlessly fast. I did my research on what was needed and I got exactly what I paid for. They solved a perplexing electrical issue. The night after installation my kitchen lights stopped working. They came back the next day and after hours of going through attic and switchâ s discovered that a security light on the far right pergola had gone bad. I had another one just in case. They put it up for me. No they didnâ t charge me. They said give them a good review. This is it. I am a veteran and I call it like I see it. Hire these guys. I am already finding more work for them."

"I have been working with GCC for the past 6 months. They are professional, hand-on with their team and reverent in the homes they repair. We have used them to manage renovations as well as minor repairs. They have repaired everything except major electrical issues. Additionally, they have had to "come behind" the work of other vendors we have used and have seamlessly integrated a finished product each time! I highly recommend them as contractors, carpentry experts, great partners for Home Renovation and Repair!"

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

Costs range from $5 to $15 per square foot for installation and $150 to $600 for repairs, depending on the material and complexity.

Updating your backsplash without removing the tile is possible in a couple of different ways. First, you can remove the old grout and replace it with new grout to give your backsplash a fresh look. You can also change the grout color, which can have a surprisingly large impact on the final appearance of the backsplash. Finally, you can paint the original tile to totally change the look of the backsplash without removing it.

Yes, it’s always a good idea to keep a box or two of spare tiles after a home renovation project. Tiles can crack from improper installation, heavy foot traffic, and impact from drops. Having some extra tile on hand can make replacement fast, easy, and affordable. Plus, some manufacturers might discontinue particular colors or styles, and slight variations in tile colors between batches could mean mismatched tiles even if your product isn’t discontinued. Having a few spare tiles in storage can help avoid these issues, as well.
