"We had an amazing experience with Elite Tile. Michael was responsive during the entire quoting and planning process. Jayson, the installer is one of the nicest people we've met during our house renovation process. He was very professional and detailed with his work. We had old 70s flooring removed, toilets replaced, a vanity replaced, and tile installed -- all through Jayson. We can't recommend Elite Tile enough!"

Customers say: True professional

"David was the consummate professional. I had three different tile guys give me quotes. David was the only one, while here for the estimate, who took my tile out of the box and started discussing how the project needed to be done. He and his partner were full of ideas and incredibly helpful. This was all before i told him he had the job. Needless to say, he did a fantastic job. The tile has only been in a week and we’re getting so many compliments. Even our plumber came in and said it was the most beautiful tile he’d ever seen. Just saying, you can’t go wrong with David. Hope to post pictures when the lights go in. Highly recommend. Will use him again."

"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."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a backsplash directly onto drywall, provided the wall is properly prepped, clean, and dry. For best results, especially in kitchen areas, your walls should be made of moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board. If your current wall isn't moisture-resistant, it's recommended to replace it before installing the backsplash. For even greater protection against water damage, you can remove the existing drywall and install a tile backer board or cement board instead. While properly installed standard drywall is typically strong enough to support a backsplash, some local building codes may require water-resistant materials in kitchen areas, so it's a good idea to check.

Add a T-shaped spacer to each corner of a tile when placing it. You’ll want to nudge the tiles closer together so the spacers are touching each corner. When you’re done installing your tile, you can remove each spacer, wash them, and use them for your next project.

There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they’re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn’t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn’t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.

Ideally, you should remove tile before installing hardwood floors, but there are good reasons not to. Removing stubborn tile can be a labor-intensive job that adds days to the project. The subfloor beneath the tiles could also be damaged during the process, meaning you’d have to repair the subfloor before installing the new hardwood floor. 

While you shouldn’t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.
