"Vetrans Tile is all you need! They are professional, punctual and very respectable. They take extreme care for your home while working and after completing the job they clean up and take away all debris. Their craftsmanship is an A ! They tiled my bathroom floor and I love it so much, I hired them to do a ceramic tile backsplash in my kitchen. No worries here!"

"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."

"Fabian Nova is a class act, a complete professional, reliable and responsive. He and his crew did a beautiful job with tiling our basement and finished ahead of schedule, and while he was here with his crew he also installed my fireplace mantel and mounted my tv. It was the most positive contractor experience I ve had and at a very fair price. I will be contacting him for sure for future work. Thanks Fabian!"

Small jobs welcome

"I had a list of things that I needed done. To me they were large because I could not do the work myself, but to some contractors, the job was small and not worth their time. Leonard responded quickly to my request through Home Advisor and came the next day and finished EVERYTHING. He is a person who stands behind providing fantastic customer service. I am so happy that I had him come to take care of my work and even happier to have everything done. I will definitely hire Leonard in the future, as I've already spoken to him about some future work for me."

"This was our second time working with Victor and his team. We had a new front door installed, a new pocket door installed, new hardwood floors and trim installed in our family room and foyer, and had both rooms painted. They did an amazing job and we are pleased with the quality of work! We look forward to working with them on future projects that we have!"

"We hired Angela and her team for the renovation of a small bathroom (shower stall, no tub). They replaced the tile in the shower and on the floor, installed a vanity and medicine cabinet and painted the walls. The bathroom looks very nice. Jason and the other team members were professional, personable, punctual and efficient. They left the area clean when they finished for the day. When we had questions, Jason had suggestions and ideas which helped us to decide how to proceed. We readily recommend Hire Her to anyone planning any home improvements."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

There are a few different tools you can use to score tiles. Manual tile cutters or tile scribes work well for scoring in straight lines. Tile nippers are one of the best options for scoring because they can make small and irregular cuts that larger tools may not be able to handle.

Installing kitchen countertop tiles on a mold and moisture-resistant cement backer board is one of the best options. When fitted correctly on top of a plywood base, it’s stable and long-lasting. Old-fashioned cement board is economical, cuts neatly and easily with a circular or jigsaw, and screws into plywood without any difficulty.

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.

Tile—specifically smaller, mosaic-style tiles—is the best type of flooring for building a walk-in shower base. Shower pans come with a threshold and sidewalls to contain the water, but tile can be set into the shower base. This creates a walk-in shower floor that gently slopes toward the drain to keep water from getting out and into the rest of the bathroom.

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.
