"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 It was very outdated and neglected but we knew it could be a special home.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

If you’re handling your tile removal yourself, seal the room using painter’s tape and heavy-duty contractor bags to prevent dust and shards from escaping. Use a claw hammer or a pry bar and a mallet to get behind the tile and pry it away from the floor or wall. Once your tiles are all removed, sweep everything into contractor bags for disposal, being careful not to overfill them. Make sure you wear a dust mask, safety goggles, and work gloves to keep yourself safe from injury while you work.

Yes, it’s possible to cut tile without a wet saw; instead, you can use an angle grinder, a glass cutter, a snap cutter, tile nippers, or a rotary tool with a tile-cutting blade. A manual tile cutter or snap cutter works well for the larger tiles that wet saws are typically used for, while smaller projects might just require nippers or a glass cutting wheel. If you’re working with large quantities of tile, however, power tools are best.

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.

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.

Installing kitchen countertop tiles on a mold and moisture-resistant cement backer board is one of the best options. When fitted correctly on top of a plywood base, it’s stable and long-lasting. Old-fashioned cement board is economical, cuts neatly and easily with a circular or jigsaw, and screws into plywood without any difficulty.
