"We did a split project with Kurt and his team. We had a mother-in-law suite and we wanted to turn it into a full size bedroom with half bath instead since we are expecting our second child. They were recommended to us from a friend and I couldn't have been happier. To start, they were able to beat the price of another contracting group in the area by a pretty decent bit, and on top of that, were willing to do more as well. I demo'd the wall, but they took over after that. They moved all of the wall positions and rebuilt the walls to make the smaller bathroom and bigger bedroom. The drywall job was fantastic. John (or Jon) was the one who handled most of that. He hung the walls and smoothed out the mud. He was absolutely meticulous about it too. I haven't seen a smoother drywall job thus far. Kurt also tiled the bathroom which looks fantastic. Level as can be and the grout-lines are perfect. They installed the toilet (which I actually said I would do) as well as the vanity. When they ran electric through, they set me up with a line attached to a switch for a vanity light in case I wanted one and kept it behind the wall marked and ready for me. There are little details like that that make all the difference in there work, prepping for the future and making sure things will last. They left me a nice access hatch to the ceiling and made a nice molding for it which was an awesome addition for when I need to get up there. We said we would paint the rooms, but they wanted to at least prime them, and I'm very happy they did. They fixed a cracking ceiling and re-painted the whole thing too which is an amazing improvement over before. Overall, we aren't unhappy about a single thing. Kurt has been very responsive after-the-job about just questions on general things and that just shows the work ethics and quality of he and his group. Would I recommend them? Absolutely, without a doubt in my mind. Will I use them again? We already have asked and have two more projects for them later this year. If you have a project, HIRE THESE GUYS!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Here’s another instance of where the answer is you could, but that doesn’t mean you should. Yes, part of the issue is getting the drywall to stay in place on the tiles, and it’s understandable that screws will crack the tiles and cause them to crumble. That’s why it’s a much better idea to screw drywall into studs, not your porcelain or ceramic tile. But aside from issues with attaching the drywall, it’s also about ensuring a smooth application without trapping moisture inside.

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.

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.

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.

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
