"Neil and Don did our shower install and did an excellent job. Truly amazing the amount of work they did in a short amount of time and exceptional quality. We had a tile shower replaced and expected this to be a two day job but these guys worked non-stop and finished easily on the same day. Extremely hard workers with great quality of work."

"Improperly installed vent under the flashing where the bay window roof meets the house was allowing wind-driven rain to enter the house and pool on the ceiling, causing a water stain. I called Mr. Handyman out to examine & fix the problem. Bruce, the owner, sent someone out the same day. My roof is fixed and I'm happy.

"About five years ago, I had Chris and his team install a French door and vinyl tile in my kitchen and dining room. I was very impressed with the professionalism and skill of the team... always on time and exceptional job. Recently, I asked Chris to give me an estimate on a small repair job. Again , he was extremely helpful. I recommended Leon to my sister and my nephew and they were very satisfied with his work."

"I was very happy with Alan and Lemonade Landscaping. Alan is a super sweet guy and did a great job of clearing my hillside of invasive shrubs and installing metal garden beds and a brick edging for my front path. He was very professional throughout the process, always coming when he said he would and making sure that I was satisfied with his work, all at a reasonable price. I will certainly call him again if and when I have a need."

Customers say: True professional

"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"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Your home's age is a key factor in Durham. Homes built before the 1970s may have subfloor issues needing reinforcement. Look for cracks in existing tile or walls, which can indicate foundation settling caused by the region's clay soil. Homes with crawl spaces, which are prevalent in the area, may also require a new moisture barrier before starting a tile project.

Helpful?

In the short term, ceramic tile offers easier maintenance during NC's heavy pollen season and provides allergy relief by reducing dust. Long-term benefits include exceptional durability, lasting over 15 years with proper care. The tile is resilient to North Carolina's humidity and temperature fluctuations, which reduces future flooring replacement costs and keeps your home competitive in the evolving market.

Helpful?

For a smooth project in Durham, start by confirming permit requirements with the city, especially if structural changes are involved. Get multiple quotes from local tile specialists and plan your project for the spring or fall to avoid summer humidity. Remember to order 10–15% extra tile to account for cuts and potential breakage during installation, which is a key step.

Helpful?

New homeowners in Durham should prioritize bathroom floor tile to combat high humidity and prevent moisture damage. A kitchen backsplash is an affordable project with high visual impact for resale. Given Durham's red clay soil, installing durable entryway tile is also a smart first move to protect your floors and simplify maintenance for your family.

Helpful?

Yes, ceramic tile service projects significantly boost your home’s value in the competitive Durham market. Kitchen tile upgrades can return 70–80% of your investment, while bathroom renovations see a 60–70% return. Homes with modern tile sell up to 20% faster, appealing to the professionals and families drawn to the Research Triangle area for its tech and healthcare industries.
