"This review is long overdue! Diego retiled two bathrooms and our entire kitchen floor and backsplash in August. He was always quick to respond, was transparent about pricing (which was very reasonable), very professional, and did an excellent job! We were so impressed and so happy with the results. He was also a pleasure to work with. We would hire Diego again in a heartbeat for any future projects. Anyone looking for tile work should definitely hire him!"

"These guys did an excellent job and I'd rehire them in a heartbeat. Fermin Ortiz is the owner and is very friendly and conscientious. He was on the job everyday with 2-4 of his crew. The job required just over 3 weeks to complete our 2800 sq ft townhouse. This included painting the indoor garage (including the floor), painting the outside portico over our front porch, and some concrete near our basement steps. Job required repair and patch of nail pops, repair larger holes in drywall, repair old joint tape. Two coats of paint and primer when required. Showed up every morning at 8:00 and worked until 4:30. Part of the higher price was due to my requirement to remove all light fixtures, switch covers, receptacle covers, smoke detectors, and door hardware before painting. Everyday they covered our furniture with plastic sheeting to help keep it clean, then cleaned up/vacuumed the floors, and even moved all furniture themselves as they moved around the rooms. They also worked 6 days a week when requested to get job done on time. I have hired too many contractors in the DMV area that didn't do a good job. I was lucky to find these guys. I highly recommend this company."

"Charles arrived on time with plenty of samples to help me decide which type of flooring would work best in the rooms we wanted to have done. He gave me several options with price breakouts, which was extremely helpful. Floors in our 3 bedrooms and a hallway were installed in one day! That included removing old tile and old carpet, then installation of new laminate. The professionals who installed the flooring worked steadily without stopping the whole day. We?re thrilled with the new flooring and we?re thrilled to know exactly where we will go when we?re ready to have new floors installed in our kitchen and living room. Thank you, Empire Today!"

"I had a great experience working with Footprints on my hardwood doors. Bill was professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. I was genuinely impressed with the quality of the workmanship, and the project was completed on time as promised. I would absolutely use Footprints again and would recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality, reliable work."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, provided you aren’t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.

Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.

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.

Lack of durability is the most significant downside of painting tile. However, a painted tile backsplash doesn't see the same kind of action as, say, painted flooring tiles. For backsplashes, the durability of the finish is crucial because they often require cleaning. However, you can minimize the durability problem by using mild cleaners and water on the painted surfaces.

Per the International Code Council, walk-in shower floors should have a minimum slope of 1/4-inch per foot (or a 2% slope) towards the drain. The slope should be no steeper than 1/2-inch per foot (or a 4% slope). This helps safely direct water into the drain rather than all over your bathroom.
