"Brandon was quick to respond, came out shortly after first contact to give a free quote which was very reasonable. He prepped the walls and installed a beautiful tile backsplash in my kitchen. He was professional, tidy, and detail oriented throughout the project. Highly recommend and will definitely hire again for any future tiling needs."

"Ramy was pleasant to work with, professional, polite and an excellent craftsman. He was helpful in sharing his design ideas and also was a good listener. He installed the flooring and wall tile just as we wanted. Everything was done in a timely manner and all the work was either performed or supervised by Ramy himself. We are very pleased with his work."

"Kevin did a great job with the tile we chose. He paid attention to the little details that make a big difference, like pulling the baseboards and tiling up to the walls and then replacing with new baseboard trim. He installed the new vanity we had chosen and tiled under it, instead of around it as the original builder had done. When there was a gap between our cabinets and the floor he worked with us to select the right shade of trim pieces to make it look finished. Our front door needed a special piece made to overlay the tile which he also did. He even helped repair (replace) a leaky valve for the washing machine in the laundry. Bottom line is we could not have been happier with the job. The only caveat for other readers is that he works alone and you'll need to allow slightly longer for the job than others might quote. You won't regret it if you can budget the time."

"9:31 < Messages Review for Tomahawk Flooring Awesome experience. We did not have any firsthand knowledge of contractors in the area and decided to go with an "Ang" recommendation. We were planning on having to use multiple contractors to do the jobs that we needed and were surprised and pleased to find that Tomahawk could do it all. *remove old rugs and prepare 2 sets of steps for new flooring. - install wood stairs with landings ~install click floors in 3 rooms and hallway. "repair several pieces of granite floor tiles. ~remove and replace grout from an oversized living space, kitchen, bathrooms, mud room and hallways including counter tops and breakfast bar. ~clean granite tiles that had layers of grime from previous owner. "sand and refinish wood floor and railings in loft. During the early stages of the work, we decided to make some big modifications in what we wanted to have done and Tomahawk just went with the flow. They were able to easily make the changes and come up with alternative ideas. Communication and reliability are crucial when working with contractors and we have to say that Ritchie answered each one of our questions, concerns, and requests no matter what time of day it was. We never felt neglected or worried about lack of communication. The work is being done beautifully with concern for details and it's obvious that Tomahawk takes pride in their finished labors. We have already discussed what the next step in our remodeling projects will be for winter 2023. _"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can tile over existing tiles in a bathroom, but it is not always recommended. For this method to be successful, the original tile surface must be clean, flat, and free of damage such as cracks, unevenness, mold, or mildew. While tiling over existing tiles can save time and money, there are potential drawbacks. The new adhesive may not bond properly, and the process adds extra weight to the wall or floor. Additionally, the increased height of the surface could interfere with door clearances. For the best and most durable results, removing the old tiles before installing new ones is generally the better option.

Different types of tile cutters may work best depending on the type of tile you are cutting and the size of your project. There are two main types of tile cutters: manual and electric. Manual tile cutters are quick and easy to use for small projects and softer tile materials, but they can only make straight cuts. Electric tile cutters make light work of big projects and can cut through harder materials.

Regardless of the material, basic square tiles will never go out of style. Neutral colors like white, grey, beige, and black will always be in demand in residential and commercial settings. Certain designs, like herringbone and hexagonal patterns, are considered timeless. Porcelain and porcelain-like tiles will also never go out of style.

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.

No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.
