Customers say: Super punctual

"I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to recommend Tom to anyone looking to have tile work done in their home. Tom installed a ceramic backsplash in my kitchen and I'm so pleased with the job. Tom is a true professional with excellent work ethics. He arrived at my house on time, at 8:00, and didn't leave until the job was complete. The finished backsplash looks fantastic and its exactly as the picture I showed him. I couldn't be happier with Tom's work. I would not hesitate to use him again. Thanks again Tom!"

"We are thrilled with our remodeled bathroom! It’s a small room but the team came in and transformed the space into something beautiful. They handled all aspects from tile removal and breakdown through installing new shower, fixtures, tile and paint. They were punctual, professional and thorough. Great job - we will work with them again when we start our next project."

"Cesar does great work. He is reliable, kind and responsive. He replaced my kitchen cabinet doors, he installed my new bathroom: including vanity, medicine cabinet, light fixture, tile flooring, and toilet. All came out perfect. He replaced old closet doors with new bi-fold doors, and he helped with many other details I needed. I will definitely be using him again, I am very happy with everything!"

"Veni was very transparent on the process and how long it would take to replace the old garage floor slab and driveway. They were professional and thorough. They met their timeline, which included adding footings by hand. They took care not to damage our landscaping and everything turned out better than expected. Highly recommend."

"We hired Gold Star to replace some tile in our recently renovated shower that was not installed properly - the grout was crumbling, water was leaking behind the tiles, and there was some mold growth. Chris was really great about explaining why it wasn't done properly and what he would do to ensure we wouldn't have any problems going forward. Chris and Hector were prompt, professional, and their work was superb. They are also incredibly neat, they cleaned up so thoroughly! We were thrilled with the way it turned out and so relieved to know it was fixed properly. We highly recommend them! We will certainly hire them again for any future home projects."

"VP General Construction (Kleven) completed several small jobs at our house. Hanged 2 new interior doors; repaired the hinge on an existing interior door; patched and painted holes left behind in our kitchen and foyer; removed a screen door and cleaned up and painted the door frame; added trim to a closet door then painted the trim, closet door, and closet interior. He finished all this work in 2 days, the work was done to a high standard, and the price was reasonable. He's a professional with good attention to detail and very reliable. I highly recommend this company for residential repair work."

Backsplash Installation FAQs, 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.

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.

A cement backer board is not needed for laying tile on concrete. Sometimes referred to as a cementitious backer unit, or CBU, backer board should be used if the subfloor is plywood or OSB. The backer board provides a base on which to install the tiles that isn’t as likely to be damaged by any accidental water seepage as natural materials would be.

When considering the types of grout for your project, unsanded grout is the best choice for penny tile. Unsanded grout can fit better into narrow spaces, like those between the small penny tiles, and it’s easier to smooth out for a seamless finish. However, if you’re unsure, check with a tile installation pro to determine which grout is best for your specific project.

Once cracks appear, it is hard to stop tiles from cracking more. If the cause of the problem is improper subflooring, underlying concrete, improper tile joint sizes, mold growth, or structural issues, the only way to stop floor tiles from cracking is to redo the entire floor, fixing the underlying issues first. If cracks occur after impact damage, hiring a professional tile contractor to replace the cracked tiles, fix loose floor tiles, and restore the grout around them can prevent further damage. It is also important to keep your tile and grout clean and maintained to prolong its life.
