"Alma contacted us promptly after we requested a quote. Within a few days, she and Francisco came to our home to assess the rooms and provide an estimate. Alma followed up afterward, and after comparing several other quotes, we chose Days Flooring. Alma was very flexible in scheduling the project. Francisco and Nicolas even picked up the tile for us and met me at Home Depot to help select and purchase the grout and thinset, which made the process much easier. Throughout the installation, the Days Flooring team worked closely with us to make sure every detail was done correctly and that the project was completed on schedule. They were responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about the quality of their work. We found everyone at Days Flooring to be trustworthy, hardworking, and committed to making sure we were completely satisfied with the finished product. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality tile installation."

I really appreciated their hard work and attention to detail, everyone who sees anything Rael Custom Tile did, from the stone outside, to the tile inside, they are completely blow away. I would recommend them a million times over, no hesitation."

"If I could give these guys six stars I would. They came out on Memorial Day just as they said they would and installed my beautiful porcelain arabesque backsplash. They were quiet and tidy. I most definitely will use them again for several different projects. They are excellent!"

"I am very happy with the work that Meadows Tile did for me. Gabe and his coworker were both very professional and knowledgeable in their craft. Meadows Tile installed 800 sqft of LVP flooring over an old tile floor. Gabe was organized and stayed on top of the evolving demands of the project. I especially appreciated his communication and business approach throughout the job. I strongly recommend Gabe. Thank You to Meadows Tile"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Glazed ceramic tiles don’t need to be sealed because the glazing already offers some protection against moisture. Unglazed ceramic tiles need to be sealed to keep the porous tile safe from moisture and staining. However, both types of tile can benefit from sealing. Sealant can make the tiles easier to keep clean and offer more resistance to water, spills, and stains.

It’s not necessarily normal for tiles to lift, although it’s one of the common issues people may have with their tile flooring. Tiles correctly installed by pros with expansion joints should not lift over time. However, if the installation was done poorly, you might see tiles tenting or lifting as the house settles. This is more common in high-moisture areas with extreme temperatures.

You have creative freedom when it comes to your tile trim. If, however, you are considering skipping tile trim, please think twice about that. It is good practice to install tile trim, whether on walls or flooring. Think, too, about the aesthetic you are going for and choose a trim type and color that will help enhance the space.

The grout shade you choose comes down to personal taste and preference. A darker grout will give you a more dramatic and noticeable contrast with the tile around it; however, lighter grout helps create a more uniform look when blending the colors together. Additionally, a darker grout combined with a patterned tile could be overwhelming to the eye, while lighter grout makes the pattern stand out as the main focus.

While you shouldn’t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.
