"Mario was very professional, flexible, knowledgeable, and very comfortable to work with. He went above and beyond by customizing a corner hutch for me, and explaining all my options. We had him install 18 new kitchen cabinets and he did it all in one day. Everything was laser leveled and perfect for the quartz countertop laser templating scheduled for the next day. Will definitely hire Mario again. Top notch."

"Mike and Daryl completely gutted my first floor kitchen, dinning and living rooms. Removed walls, added a load bearing beam, added new insulation, drywall and all new electrical. They performed all demo and remodeling themselves with very little outside help. They are very knowledgeable in all aspects of contracting. The quality of their craftsmanship was great. They were always here working and were easy to get in contact with when needed. They listened to what I wanted done and made it happen. I would recommend Quality Craft for any home improvement project."

"We are quite pleased with the work. HHI's estimate was slightly higher than others but we chose them to do the job because they were able to provide us with photos of past work as well as references. Dale was willing to listen to what we wanted and work collaboratively with us on the project. It took a while to get the project going due to both our schedule and Dale's, but once the job was scheduled it was done in a timely and professional manner. The tilework is beautiful, and they even managed to work in a feature stripe with spare floor tile that we had left over. We did have to purchase the tile ourselves but Dale gave us recommendations for vendors that he prefers to work with so that wasn't a big deal at all."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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

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.

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.

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.

The best paints for shower tiles include epoxy, latex, or acrylic. Ideally, you should look for paints that are waterproof and mildew-resistant if you plan to paint shower or other bathroom tiles. You can even find waterproof paints made specifically for tiled surfaces, which will be the best option for shower tile paint that lasts as long as possible.
