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 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."

"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 and his team did an excellent job on a complicated kitchen remodel. They removed and replaced a tile floor and backsplash, installed appliances including an integrated refrigerator, installed sink, removed wallpaper and painted, put in new molding, and some electrical upgrades. Recommended the countertop contractor who was excellent. (Thanks Michael). Cesar was great to work with. He and his crew were careful, clean and considerate. They kept our kitchen usable as much as possible. And, they put in extra effort to have the job done in time for Christmas. We've already got projects in mind for him in the near future. Definitely recommended."

"Roven took the time to explain the process and the details involved in installing Belgium blocks along my driveway and a flower bed nearby that was edged with old, crumbling concrete. He extended the walkway to my front door with stone tile and at a reasonable cost. The end result met my expectations and I will use this company again for other projects."

"We hired this company for a small bathroom; taking up the existing tile and installing new tile. Absolutely a pleasure to work with and the work itself was excellent. Punctual, very clean, meticulous and reasonably priced. “Precise” is a perfect name for them! Couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended."

"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."

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can tile over existing shower tiles, but it's better to remove the old tiles first for the best results. Tiling over existing tiles requires a clean, level surface and proper adhesion. If the old tiles are in good condition, you can roughen the surface to improve adhesion. However, removing the old tiles ensures a smoother, longer-lasting finish and prevents potential issues down the line.

Whether you want to match your tile trim with grout comes down to your personal preferences. If you match the two, it can help your tiles to stand out while providing a clean, cohesive look. On the other hand, you might opt to match your tile trim with your tiles. The best option will depend largely on your tile design, as well as how it fits overall with the rest of your room.

It’s best to start with tiling the shower floor before moving on to the walls for the most visually-pleasing results. When taking on any tiling project, you’ll want the wall tiles to “sit” neatly on the floor tiles rather than overlapping them. Finishing your floor tiles first will allow you to place your wall tiles without any gaps, holes, or awkward intersections.

Grout lines should typically be between 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick. This ensures enough room for the grout to dry properly and makes them wide enough to look clean and professional. If grout lines are too small, it can be easier to see imperfections in the spacing. 

Glass, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone are all excellent choices for tiling a shower floor. Some glazed finishes can be slippery when wet. Your tiling contractor can provide more information on which tiles will work best for your shower floor.
