"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."

"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

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.

Costs range from $5 to $15 per square foot for installation and $150 to $600 for repairs, depending on the material and complexity.

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.

While tile is the best option in the bathtub, don’t forget to consider the flooring around the wash station. Moisture-holding carpet is a no-no, but is tile or vinyl better for dogs? Tile flooring is tough, moisture-resistant, cool, and scratch-proof. However, it’s more tricky to install and costs more than vinyl flooring. If you opt for vinyl, select tough luxury vinyl flooring; otherwise, canine claws could quickly damage the surface of standard, budget vinyl.

You should always use caulk instead of grout where the tile meets the wall. This will help your tile installation look great and last a long time. When you accidentally use grout for the corner seams, you end up making the tiles too rigid. So as the wall shifts over time, your tiles have no wiggle room. This can lead to tile damage, which will eventually require you to do at least a partial reinstallation.
