"My installer, Jose, was amazing! He was so accommodating to fit my schedule in a short timeframe. Jose was professional and very knowledgeable about installing tile. He installed my tile quickly and was very clean while working. I would definitely recommend Jose for tile work. Jose is also a great handyman because he also installed my TV on the wall which was difficult to do because the wall was covered in porcelain tile. THANK YOU, JOSE!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!"

"My primary shower was remodeled by David Tile Solutions. I requested the removal of a large seat, floor, and glass doors. Some of the existing wall tiles had to be removed, but I was delighted that David found a perfect match to replace them, along with a beautiful tile for the new floor. The corner seat he installed is the perfect size, and the glass doors I requested have a lovely water design. He also lowered the threshold to make me feel safter while stepping into the shower. I highly recommend David Tile Solutions."

"Fermin was very courteous and professional since the moment that he came for the estimate. It is clear that he has a lot of knowledge on the matter and he took his time on explaining the differences in the product's brands and finishes. He and his team could not be better at what they do. Painters were timely everyday, professional and competent. This was the best constructor experience that I've had. They were very meticulous on prep, every area where they worked was plastic sealed and spotless at the end of the day every day. I was a little concerned about my Brazilian wooden floors that were installed about a month before the project started. I was in shock to see how careful they were at protecting it. This is a company you can trust. I wouldn't doubt to call them again for future projects."

"The contractor who did my kitchen tile backsplash did a not-so-good job. I called another contractor before reaching out to Tony Tile. This particular contractor, who refers to himself as the "tile doctor" said that it could not be fixed. I called Tony Tile. John came by, looked at it and told me it could be fixed! He sent over a reasonable estimate, which I agreed to, and scheduled the job. John did a fantastic job repairing the mistakes made by the previous contractor. I am pleased with his work. He was very professional and kind. I will definitely use John again to tile my fireplace."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

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?

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?

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?

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.
