"Ari and his brother were clearly skilled at doing tile work. They were very exact and gave good attention to detail. They were careful to approach the job so that I would be satisfied with the decisions to be made and the outcome. They are reliable, hard workers, and very pleasant."

"This contractor is wonderful! Mr. Narine and his assistants were at my home within a week of when my husband contacted him. He installed the vent fan we wanted and was so professional and quick and neat cleaning up everything behind themselves. We could not have asked for anyone better!"

"The Innovation contracting team did an excellent job on our downstairs bathroom. They do quality work, clean up after themselves, and are a pleasure to work with. Overall, I would hire them again and plan to do so for our next home improvement project."

"Lynn has helped me with multiple project. Installing railing, installing a hot water tank after trying to keep an old one running, painting, and more. He’s constantly busy with work but always answers the phone, explains things in depth in a way that homeowners can understand issues occurring, is extremely fair with the cost of his craft, and has experience in just about all areas one can suggest. If you need help with a home project, I’d highly recommend reaching out to All Phase."

Small jobs welcome

"We were very pleased with Siberian Home Improvements/Thomas. We hired Thomas to install an interior door in our basement. This included the door framing as well. We explained the issue we were attempting to fix and Thomas provided great feedback with a couple of different options he thought would work and estimates for the options. Once we agreed to the terms, he arrived up on time and performed the work within the estimated schedule and budget - and the quality of the work is great. Overall, we're extremely pleased and plan to hire Thomas again for other projects/improvements around our house."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

You can use sanded or unsanded grout for a shower pan, but sanded grout isn’t the best option for shower walls. For those areas, you’ll want to use unsanded grout, which works well on vertical surfaces and is less likely to slump than sanded grout. Alternatively, you can use epoxy grout for shower walls.

To make a small bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored tiles in a medium- to large-format size. Lighter colors like white, cream, or light gray help open up a room, making it feel larger and more airy. While it may seem counterintuitive, small tiles can actually make a bathroom look smaller because the increased number of grout lines creates a busy pattern that visually shrinks the space. Instead, opt for medium- or large-format tiles for a more seamless, expansive appearance. For the best effect, pair your tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout to create a continuous surface that enhances the illusion of a larger area. Avoid dark colors, heavy patterns, and contrasting grout, as these can make the space feel more confined.

Yes, tile floor removal is a physically demanding project that takes between eight and 12 hours per 100 square feet. It also requires protective gear and closing the area off with construction-grade plastic sheeting to avoid dust and damage to other parts of your home.

The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.

Glass tile can cost as much as or more than other durable tile types. When choosing the right tile for you, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of each can help you make an informed decision. The pros and cons of glass tile include:

Pros

  • Light-reflecting to add brightness

  • Waterproof and mold-resistant

  • Made from recyclable materials 

Cons

  • High cost compared to similar and more durable materials

  • Usually requires professional installation

  • More easily scratched compared to materials like ceramic and porcelain
