"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

You can use sanded or unsanded grout for a shower pan, but sanded grout isn’t the best option for shower walls. For those areas, you’ll want to use unsanded grout, which works well on vertical surfaces and is less likely to slump than sanded grout. Alternatively, you can use epoxy grout for shower walls.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.

If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.

Whether you use a brush or roller depends on the size, shape, and amount of tiles. Rollers are easier to maneuver over large areas and can apply a more even coat of paint in a shorter time frame with no visible brushstrokes. Brushes are best for precision work, particularly in very small areas. If you don't want visible brushstrokes on your painted tiles, you can paint details with small foam brushes instead of bristled paint brushes.

The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.
