"Gilberto replaced the shower pan liner and tile in my second floor master bathroom that had leaked and damaged the bathroom sub-floor and the ceiling drywall in my living room underneath. He did excellent work removing the shower door, shower pan tile and liner and removing and replacing the damaged sub-floor and wall base wood that had been water damaged. He then installed the new shower pan, liner, drain, tile and cleaned and resealed the existing tile grout in the shower and around my garden tub . His associate repaired the living room drywall and they both repainted the entire ceiling. Work was highly professional and the shower and ceiling look brand new. In fact, the finished shower base looks better that the installation he replaced. Both he and his helper were prompt, courteous and meticulous in the quality of work and daily protection and cleanup of the job work area. I was very pleased with the cost and quality of the workmanship provided. Highly recommended."

"Edwin and Rosie were absolutely awesome. Edwin did an assessment of what needed to be done and returned as promised. He and Rosie refused to just put a bandaid on the problem instead they made sure to be thorough and remedied the problem permanently. He was fixated on making sure that he found the source of the problem and he took the steps needed to eliminate the problem. We are very impressed and not only did they correct the original problem which was the reason for contacting them but I had another unexpected issue and they did a wonderful job of fixing that problem as well. I'm happy to say that we don't have to look any further for a professional and thorough handy man service!"

"Hal and his team did a great job replacing the shower pan and tiling the whole bathroom floor. The replacement of the shower pan was a lot more involved than originally anticipated but Hal’s team stepped up to the plate and did the job correctly and professionally. Also added requests as for example the elevation of the vanity with a granite top were addressed and executed in a very skilled way. I was very happy with the outcome of the overall job and would definitely recommend and rehire Hal and his team for future jobs."

"Job went great and the finished product is beautiful -- a totally remodeled master bathroom. It is truly our dream master bathroom. Tom's work improved our quality of life and his work and recommendations exceeded expectations. In addition to the work quality, Tom was a pleasure to work with and it was a joy to have him in our home. We completely remodeled our bathroom from top to bottom -- new toilet, sink, shower, etc., with subway tiles on the walls and marble mosaic tiles on the floor. Tom is a perfectionist and everything looks wonderful. We will definitely go to Tom again for additional work on our house. Tom was efficient and never sacrificed any details. I'd recommend him for anything."

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface. 

Yes, cracked tiles allow water to seep through the substrate or subfloor, leading to mold and mildew growth. It can also cause severe structural damage. At the very least, water damage can cause your tile to lift from the substrate, meaning one cracked tile can lead to several cracked tiles. It’s a good idea to waterproof tile in areas with direct water exposure or lots of moisture.

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.

Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.

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. 

No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.
