"I had a tile floor installed in my kitchen and it looks great! Vincent did an excellent job, he’s professional, courteous and very conscientious about his work. He does the job the right way, doesn’t cut corners, shows up on time and cleans up at the end of each day. And I will definitely hire again to install the backsplash. His price was competitive and he’s a good guy."

"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!"

"Heleno did an amazing job. We were looking to install tiles in two small bathrooms on a budget. Not only did Heleno provide an extremely reasonable price quote, he went above and beyond in installation, cutting tile perfectly, making grout recommendations, etc. He even repaired part of the door in each bathroom at no additional charge. Thank you for everything Heleno!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don’t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.

Yes, it’s always a good idea to keep a box or two of spare tiles after a home renovation project. Tiles can crack from improper installation, heavy foot traffic, and impact from drops. Having some extra tile on hand can make replacement fast, easy, and affordable. Plus, some manufacturers might discontinue particular colors or styles, and slight variations in tile colors between batches could mean mismatched tiles even if your product isn’t discontinued. Having a few spare tiles in storage can help avoid these issues, as well.

Yes, it would be best if you waterproofed your shower walls before tiling. The cement backing board behind the tile is not waterproof; it’s only water-resistant. On top of your tile backing board, be sure to use a waterproof shower membrane before you start installing your shower tiles.

Yes, you can install a backsplash directly onto drywall, provided the wall is properly prepped, clean, and dry. For best results, especially in kitchen areas, your walls should be made of moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board. If your current wall isn't moisture-resistant, it's recommended to replace it before installing the backsplash. For even greater protection against water damage, you can remove the existing drywall and install a tile backer board or cement board instead. While properly installed standard drywall is typically strong enough to support a backsplash, some local building codes may require water-resistant materials in kitchen areas, so it's a good idea to check.

When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.

On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.
