"We hired Adam and Kiltconstruction for a remodel on the run down, 90 year old house we had purchased. It was very outdated and neglected but we knew it could be a special home. Adam was recommended from a co-worker so we called him. He arrived when he said he would which was a good first impression. My wife and I explained to him about what we were thinking to do in our home and he took extra time to listen as we walked thru the house. To our pleasant surprise he not only took our ideas but was able to offer several suggestions that we had not thought of to integrate modern appliances within the 90 year old layout. During the course of the remodel Adam remained in constant contact whenever there was an issue we needed to be aware of. It is an old house so there were a few unknown and unexpected changes to the initial discussion. Adam is a great communicator, he listened to what we were hoping to get in the remodel and made great suggestions to accentuate our ideas. He was also very candid in terms of the costs for the work performed and we never had a feeling we were not getting what we paid for. I highly recommend Adam and Kiltconstruction. Honest, no games and a partner for your remodeling project."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.

Tiling can be DIY with the right tools and skills, but challenges like ensuring evenness and appropriate adhesion often warrant professional handling.

The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.

The rule tells you how to cut tile to install it in a corner. The 3/4/5 rule recommends that you should have 3 feet across on one straight line, four feet on the other perpendicular line, and 5 feet of length from the end of one of the lines to the other. You’re making a right triangle with the tile, and the hypotenuse (the line across from where the 3-foot lie and 4-foot line meet) should be 5 feet long.
