"Carlos and his team were top notch. My wife and I hired Carlos to demo our existing laundry room and install new drywall, which required new framing, install new floor joists, new paint and new cabinets with trim. He showed up when he said he would and finished in a timely manner. He is upfront, honest, and gets the job done right. His team is very professional and kind. I plan to hire him again if we do anymore projects and recommend him to anyone needing work done. Excellent experience with Brothers Carpentry and Paint."

"It went perfectly. We just needed tile around the top and sides of a new shower. The tile was perfect. Cost was appropriate. Jose and his son were polite. We would hire them again."

"We needed to replace our kitchen floor which was tile and cracking and remove some old ceiling tiles which were sagging in 3 different rooms. Leon Home Repairs replaced our kitchen floor with hardwood flooring that looks amazing and matches the rest of the house. They also remove our outdated ceiling tile and replaced it with a more modern look - flat and painted, even replacing our crown molding. We were expecting to pay much more, but the estimate was extremely reasonable for both projects. Kitchen: tile removed and replaced with hardwood floors Bedrooms (3): ceiling tile removed and replaced with drywall - painted and crown molding installed. The work was timely and all employees were professional and courteous. We'll definitely be using them again!"

"My countertops look so much better and shine. I was very surprised that he would not do my backsplash due to the fact he thought it would crack (it is large tiles.) I have checked since and was told that they would not break. Also, he left a good inch or more on each side of my stove top that was not polished. I figured because I have a glass top stove he did not want to get near it. However, if he had called that to my attention we could have pulled the stove out for him to the sides. I am pretty disappointed with the finished job. For what I paid him I expected it to look new like he told me it would. He was only here a couple of hours. I have several friends that have noticed the places right away. I also have found a few places he missed. I called him and ask him about doing my wet bar counter top and he said it might be too small and I got the impression he was not interested. I also suggested that he tell his customers that there are places he will not sand and surely they make a smaller sander that would help with that problem. I can believe I am the only one that has had this problem. Do not know if I made him mad with my suggestions but I thought it was good advice. Like I said the countertops he sanded looks great and very good shine. But when you look at them and see the dull (also make it look two different colors) backsplash and a streak down each side of my stove it really does not look nice. There is a place next to my refrigerator that he missed. I would appreciate if you could help me with this and have him to come back. I read all the wonderful reviews he has gotten so I know he can do a better job for me. Thank you, J. Hair"

"I couldn’t be more pleased with the exceptional work done by David Tile Solutions! From start to finish, their professionalism and craftsmanship were top-notch. They installed long floor tiles throughout our space, and despite the challenges posed by the subfloor, they managed to keep everything perfectly level — a true testament to their skill and attention to detail. They also installed tile in our mudroom, which looks fantastic. The team was punctual, worked efficiently, and stayed within our budget. It’s rare to find contractors who not only meet expectations but exceed them, and David Tile Solutions certainly did that. They even made sure to clean up thoroughly before they left, which we really appreciated. If you’re looking for high-quality tile installation, fair pricing, and a hassle-free experience, look no further than David. Highly recommended!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, even if you’re being careful, removing tile can damage your drywall to some degree. However, you can minimize the damage done to it by eliminating a majority of the grout and taking your time prying each tile off. Also, it's worth noting that you might have more drywall damages to deal with if your tile is set into the mortar.

If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward. 

It’s important to leave a gap in the corner when tiling to allow room for tile expansion. Leaving between one eighth of an inch to one tenth of an inch is enough space. 

A cement backer board is not needed for laying tile on concrete. Sometimes referred to as a cementitious backer unit, or CBU, backer board should be used if the subfloor is plywood or OSB. The backer board provides a base on which to install the tiles that isn’t as likely to be damaged by any accidental water seepage as natural materials would be.

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.
