"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

It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth. 

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.

If you’re handling your tile removal yourself, seal the room using painter’s tape and heavy-duty contractor bags to prevent dust and shards from escaping. Use a claw hammer or a pry bar and a mallet to get behind the tile and pry it away from the floor or wall. Once your tiles are all removed, sweep everything into contractor bags for disposal, being careful not to overfill them. Make sure you wear a dust mask, safety goggles, and work gloves to keep yourself safe from injury while you work.

In some cases, granite tiles can be installed over existing flooring if the surface is level, stable, and free of moisture issues. However, removing old flooring is often recommended to ensure a secure and long-lasting installation, as well as to avoid height differences at thresholds. Consult with your flooring pro to determine the best approach based on your specific situation.

There are a few different tools you can use to score tiles. Manual tile cutters or tile scribes work well for scoring in straight lines. Tile nippers are one of the best options for scoring because they can make small and irregular cuts that larger tools may not be able to handle.
