"Elite Tile has done two projects for us over they last several years. A master bathroom and now our second level bathroom. Though done by two different installers the quality and service were the same. They were more than willing to see our vision, design, pattern and tile selection through to a completed project. Very pleased with their determination and timely execution. Thank you Elite Tile."
"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!"
"Shout out to Frank for more beautiful floor work. Our kitchen keeps getting better and better! Take a look at this tile. Wish we had found Cransten earlier, but we WILL be coming back to them."
"This is the second time I have hired Domenico with Dolce Casa to install some flooring. He installed tile and backsplash in my kitchen and then wood flooring throughout the house. Domenico is very professional and friendly. His work is very diligent and the outcome is fantastic. All the rooms that he has worked on look incredible. I absolutely plan to hire Domenico for any future projects. All around great experience working with him."
"Eduardo is extremely competent and thorough....and able to work on a variety of different "handyman" tasks....roofing issues, electrical, wood working, lock installation, etc. And he stands by his work. I intend to employ him often."
"Needed fencing installed to keep groundhogs from taking up residence under our deck. Brady came up with a creative and complete solution that made sure the varmints were out and would not return. Would use again."
"Haven’t had the install yet, but they came and quoted on the same day and the sales rep, Charles, was really wonderful! We needed the stairs done soon and they’ll be able to install them early next week! Exactly what we needed, and a great price!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
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 should always use caulk instead of grout where the tile meets the wall. This will help your tile installation look great and last a long time. When you accidentally use grout for the corner seams, you end up making the tiles too rigid. So as the wall shifts over time, your tiles have no wiggle room. This can lead to tile damage, which will eventually require you to do at least a partial reinstallation.
Your tiles will have a significant visual impact on your bathroom, so you’ll want to make a thoughtful decision. Once you land on the tile material that suits your needs and budget, you can consider the color schemes you want. Consider whether you want something modern, classic, or eye-catching.
Whether you use a brush or roller depends on the size, shape, and amount of tiles. Rollers are easier to maneuver over large areas and can apply a more even coat of paint in a shorter time frame with no visible brushstrokes. Brushes are best for precision work, particularly in very small areas. If you don't want visible brushstrokes on your painted tiles, you can paint details with small foam brushes instead of bristled paint brushes.
Yes, you can use paint if you want to refresh your tile countertops. However, you must be mindful of the type of paint you use. Look for options explicitly created for tile that are also waterproof and durable. Over time, the paint will chip, so this is not considered a long-term solution for busy kitchens.
