"After having my existing floors refinished very poorly by another company, I knew I would not be using them to sand and stain brand new unfinished hardwood that I had installed in the rest of my house. I had called Sal based on a recommendation from a contractor. He came to my house the same day and gave me a very reasonable estimate shortly after he left. He was very responsive and easily reachable for any questions I had before and during the work. His crew was neat, effective and did a beautiful job on my new floors. My only regret is not calling Sal sooner and hiring him for the first job. I would highly recommend him and his company and I plan on using them to redo the terrible job that was done on my other floors."

"The installation of the appliances was particularly challenging in our 1973 house, because Victor was presented with several unanticipated challenges. He rose to the occasion and solved every challenge beautifully."

"Carlos was contacted to repair and refinish my granite kitchen counter but I discovered he had additional skills. He not only repaired my granite counters but also installed a new tile backsplash, repainted the kitchen cabinets, installed new granite and custom fireplace mantel and painted the interior of my house. His entire crew was very professional and courteous."

"There was no project too big or small that Nathan didn’t do for me. I hired Nathan when I first moved to Ossining in October and over the last three months he has been incredibly helpful to me. Jobs included installing a vanity; hanging mirrors, pictures, curtain rods, lighting fixtures; resealing kitchen countertops; bolting bookcases to the walls; but the biggest job was installing new recessed lights and relocating my chandelier as well as replacing my kitchen lights. Like I said, there was no job Nathan wasn’t willing to help me with. Being an older widow, I could not have asked for a kinder, more helpful or more professional contractor/handyman. He was respectful, thorough in completing each job, was very reliable and his pricing was very reasonable. I highly recommend Nathan King for all your handyman needs."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.

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.

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.

Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered).
