"from start to finish every thing went well. Every one involved was professional, pleasant and easy to have in home. This work was done several years ago and kitchen counters and splash and sink still look great."

"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

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.

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.

You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. For example, it’s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire. 

You can let the tile sit without grout. Don’t panic if there’s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting.
