"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."

"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

While tile is the best option in the bathtub, don’t forget to consider the flooring around the wash station. Moisture-holding carpet is a no-no, but is tile or vinyl better for dogs? Tile flooring is tough, moisture-resistant, cool, and scratch-proof. However, it’s more tricky to install and costs more than vinyl flooring. If you opt for vinyl, select tough luxury vinyl flooring; otherwise, canine claws could quickly damage the surface of standard, budget vinyl.

Larger tiles can be difficult to install because they’re heavier and bulkier than their smaller counterparts, which makes them harder to haul around and put in place. Plus, if you don’t install the tiles correctly, they could crack or break. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a professional for large-format tile installation.

If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward. 

It’s important to leave a gap in the corner when tiling to allow room for tile expansion. Leaving between one eighth of an inch to one tenth of an inch is enough space. 

You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. For example, it’s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire.
