"We had a small tile backsplash/trim project for our guest half-bath. More a decor feature than functional so we wanted it done professionally. We already purchased all the materials and only needed labor. Home Art Tile made it very easy. Connected via Angie, measurements were done remotely via text and photos. Got a quick and fair estimate. They scheduled us for later in the month but had a cancellation and was able to move our installation to the same week as the quote! The installer was very professional, prompt and clean. We reviewed the scope of work and he went right up work. We had glass-based tiles that required a fair amount of cutting. Hi noticed a few chipped and cracked tiles and asked if he could replace those if there was enough left over. He was able to do so. Nice craftsmanship. Very satisfied with the work."

"I hired Vinny to redo a backsplash installation that was botched by a previous contractor. Vinny is a pleasure to work with and a true professional at his craft. I appreciate his attention to detail. The backsplash he installed turned out beautifully. I will absolutely use Vinny for any additional tile work going forward, and I highly recommend him."

"We called Javier simply to swap out our 2 bathroom vanities with new ones. We ended up laying down new tiles on the floors and new tiles in one shower. They also repainted both bathrooms. We also hired him to redo our two staircases, which turned out better than expected. His worker Noel really put in the effort and made us happy. We plan on calling Javier back to do some more work in November. 30 years of experience shows!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"Tom is a master craftsman, with impressive work ethic. Tom showed up at exactly 8 AM and worked diligently all day. His work product was excellent, having measured and installed a replacement tile floor and curb with a perfect fit - allowing replacement of custom frameless glass doors that had only 1/8 inch variation. (The original glass company did the removal / installation of the glass panels.) I would hire Tom again and heartily recommend him to others."

"Tito & Son have done a wonderful job each time they have done work on our home. They replaced the flooring in our entire house. They painted the house and redid the access stairs to the second floor, installed all the ceiling lights and installed the chandelier. Our kitchen looks amazing thanks to their excellent work and suggestions, saving the cabinets that we already had, painting them and also installing new quartz countertops that makes the kitchen look beautiful and sophisticated. The employees are always on time, professional and work hard to get the job done in a timely manner. They also gave us a very good and reasonable price. We highly recommend Tito & Son Construction, they have exceeded our expectations in every possible way. Thank you so much!!"

"Words cannot describe how well these guys did and everything they worked with us on. We had several small jobs and deck work. They painted our high vaulted walls and ceilings. They fixed our shower plumbing and added an acces panel for the shower. They installed a new ceiling fan. They re-faced our rotted deck and replaced several joists. Replaced both sets of stairs and set them in concrete. Amazing woodworking, professionalism, punctual, truly good people that you can actually trust. All work was done in a very timely fashion. We will definitely hire again for various projects around the house."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.

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.

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). 

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.

You can let the tile sit without grout. Don’t panic if there’s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting.
