"We had a great experience working with HomeArt Tile on a large porcelain tile floor installation that covered 5 different areas of the house. Prior to the install, we had frequent communication with Thai to set the install date and to ensure that we had the proper materials and quantities. Marlon was very prompt, professional, and clean throughout the project and did an outstanding job measuring and installing the tile. He also assisted me in returning excess materials to Lowe’s to help reduce the net cost of the project, and was very responsive to anything that was needed. I would highly recommend HomeArt Tile to anyone who needs tile services."

"“I recently had Vince and his wife, Cynthia, owners of Cintex transform my outdated kitchen and flooring, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! This husband-and-wife team is truly a dream to work with. The wife handled all the financial and logistical side beautifully—she guided me through the budget process, connected me directly with their trusted vendors so I could pick up high-quality new kitchen cabinets, hardware, accessories, and everything else at their discounted rates. That alone saved me a significant amount without sacrificing quality. Her husband did all the hands-on work, and his craftsmanship is impeccable. He took what was basically builder-grade (even though ‘upgraded’) materials and turned the space into something absolutely phenomenal. The design is stunning, the work was flawless—no visible seams, perfect installations, spotless finishes—and everything was done with incredible attention to details."

"My experience was mediocre at best with this company. They were very good with starting the work. Towards the end of completion, they had one day that was a no show. I had to call to find out they couldn't come that day. I preferred to get a call from them rather having to follow up myself. The windows they installs were done incorrectly. Water stated to leak into the house and ruined the brand new sheetrock I installed. I would recommend this company for small jobs. They may try to cut corners if you dont keep an eye on them."

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

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.

When choosing tiles for a shower floor, avoid highly porous tile materials, like those with a water absorption rating over 7%. Don’t use non-vitreous tiles, or tiles fired at low temperatures, because they will absorb more water. If you use a highly porous tile in the shower, the tiles can wear down faster, meaning they’ll need to be replaced much sooner.

Terracotta tile is a broad term for clay tile that’s been fired in a kiln, and Saltillo tile is a specific type of terracotta tile produced in Saltillo, Mexico. In addition to Saltillo, terracotta tile comes in a range of other shades and styles. You’ll often find it used in buildings throughout Mexico, southern Europe, and the western United States.

Impact, water infiltration, or shifting subfloors often cause damage. Regular inspections help prevent significant issues.

For glass tile, you want to use unsanded grout. Sanded grout is a stronger and grittier cement grout that is great for installing tiles with wider gaps and into joints. However, it is susceptible to scratching glass tile and is more difficult to use in thinner gaps. Unsanded grout, while more expensive, is easier to fit between thin gaps and is less harsh on delicate materials, like glass tile.
