"Julian tile was referred by a friend that had selected him from Angi . He was very knowledgeable and professional. One of the best decision we've ever made . He totally remodeled the bathroom , built a shower from scratch , all new fixtures , tile floor . He plumb my bathroom, We had rotted floors and walls that he repaired and a chimney ha had to knock out to the wall . Julian tile made the remodel enjoyable and easy. He gathered us every step of the way , he's trustworthy and we are so glad that he was referred to us . We would give him 10 start if we could instead of 5."

"I contacted David Hoskins (found him through the web) and we made an appointment for the next morning that he was not only on time but early.  We walked around and talked about what I required and he went in to detail of what was required and the time it
would take. I hired him to come back the following Monday and he again was very prompt and ready to work.
Bathroom tile install - Very knowledgeable of what was required to level floor and install tiles in a bathroom that had tiles
previously that had to be removed and floor needed replacing, David Hoskins professionally installed the new tiles (making sure to level the floor), my wife and I are both very pleased with the service we received.
Installed light box and ceiling fan ? We had a front room that didn?t have a light fixture in the ceiling David Hoskins was not only familiar with what was required but guided me on the proper wire to purchase and ceiling box and light switch. He not only drilled the hole, he ran the wire, mounted the light box and installed the ceiling fan, again a very professional job.
Painted 3 separate room ? David and his helper not only accepted the paint job which required not only painting the rooms but also required painting the ceiling of the living room.  It had been awhile since the rooms had been painted so it took a few coats which did require a little more time to accomplish the task, but again David Hoskins and his helper completed the task.
Since using David Hoskins I now consider him someone that I can call and rely on to accomplish any home improvement task that I require. Having him in my house was not only a pleasure he was totally professional and accomplished everything above and beyond. David is now considered a friend and I look forward to the next time I require assistance in my home.

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.

Once cracks appear, it is hard to stop tiles from cracking more. If the cause of the problem is improper subflooring, underlying concrete, improper tile joint sizes, mold growth, or structural issues, the only way to stop floor tiles from cracking is to redo the entire floor, fixing the underlying issues first. If cracks occur after impact damage, hiring a professional tile contractor to replace the cracked tiles, fix loose floor tiles, and restore the grout around them can prevent further damage. It is also important to keep your tile and grout clean and maintained to prolong its life.

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.

Whether you want to match your tile trim with grout comes down to your personal preferences. If you match the two, it can help your tiles to stand out while providing a clean, cohesive look. On the other hand, you might opt to match your tile trim with your tiles. The best option will depend largely on your tile design, as well as how it fits overall with the rest of your room.

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.
