"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!"

"Gabe did an awesome job helping us repair tile that had been lifted up due to water seeping under and freezing. Gabe repaired 5 major areas on the portals surrounding my late mother's home so we could put it on the market with it looking perfect. He shared tile options since the area is 26 years old and the tiles couldn't be matched. Gabe designed a way to lay in new tiles so that it looks intentional. Gabe is an extremely hard worker, VERY skilled, has all the tools, and comes up with creative solutions. I plan to use him on three more tile projects at my home. He is awesome - you will be happy with his work!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

To make a bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored, medium- to large-format tiles. Light colors such as white, cream, or light gray make a space feel more open, while dark colors, busy patterns, and small tiles can make a bathroom feel smaller. It may seem counterintuitive, but small tiles can shrink a room visually due to the increased number of grout lines. Using medium- to large-format tiles creates a more seamless look. For the best effect, pair your light-colored tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout. This minimizes the grid-like pattern and gives the floor and walls a more continuous, uninterrupted appearance, helping the room feel significantly larger.

Tile installation can be expensive because it requires more time and labor to install than many other materials. For example, laminate flooring can click and lock into place, and carpet comes in large rolls that you can secure to the floor. On the other hand, tiles need to be cut, laid individually, grouted, and left to cure.

The lifespan of bathroom tile can be 50 years or more, depending on proper installation and regular maintenance. A well-done tile job, whether it's a new installation or a retiling project, can last for many decades. To lengthen the life of your tile, it's best to have it installed by a professional and to perform regular maintenance. This includes routine cleaning, resealing, and regrouting as needed. With proper care, you can expect your tile to last 10 years or more before needing major repairs or retiling, especially in high-traffic areas where tiles can wear out more quickly.

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.
