"This review is woefully overdue.  Mike and his crew are the best!!  Joe and Rick have become like family.  I work from home, and my husband is retired, so we are around the house all day.  We have witnessed nothing but respectful, professional behavior and top-notch work.  Everyone is so easy to communicate with, and we have always been able to problem solve as needed.  You never know what you're going to find when you start tearing into an old house, and each challenge has been handled successfully and to our satisfaction.  I have always had strong opinions about what I think I want, but, I have to say, sometimes the guys have even better ideas.  I respect their experience and trust their judgment.  As a homeowner for 30+ years, I can say without hesitation that this is the best contractor and team I have ever worked with.  I would never think of hiring anyone else. "

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface. 

The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.

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.

Tile floor installation usually takes about 16 hours of active work along with a couple of days of drying time between tile and grout applications.

The amount of time it takes your installer will depend on many factors, including the square footage of the space, the tile material type, and if they need to make intricate tile cuts.

Taking the time to properly prepare your tile backsplash before painting and treating it with care afterward is the best way to ensure its longevity. While the tile can last for the life of the home, you may have to repaint it after a few years. However, using only mild cleanser and water to keep it clean can maximize the paint's lifespan.
