"The work these guys did was nothing short of spectacular! Joe, along with his father and son duo, tackled our project like pros?and with the kind of friendliness that could make even your in-laws jealous. Joe dropped by a month early for a quote, meticulously laying out his game plan step by step. His communication was so clear. And let?s talk about the tile I chose?it was like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded! Yet, they handled it with such precision that I?m convinced they might have some secret tile-wizardry skills. If you want a job done right, with a smile and a sprinkle of humor, these are the folks to call!"

"Mike was incredibly kind and helpful getting things done to code on our budget. He did our porch, firewall and kitchen floor without a big crew or making a huge mess. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a fix up or a bigger projects and needs to work on a budget! Will happily call him for any other repairs needed going forward."

"From the first consultation with Scott to the final day of installation, my wife and I have been continually impressed by level of professionalism, the quality of craftsmanship, and the respect for our home. There isn’t a single complaint I could muster up even if I tried. We have been searching for flooring consistently for six months and we were going to settle for a product we didn’t love, all until Scott presented us with exactly what we were looking for: a matte finish 5” white oak floor. We feel more than confident recommending his services to others and would be thrilled to work with Genco again in the future. Thanks guys!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.

Whether you use a brush or roller depends on the size, shape, and amount of tiles. Rollers are easier to maneuver over large areas and can apply a more even coat of paint in a shorter time frame with no visible brushstrokes. Brushes are best for precision work, particularly in very small areas. If you don't want visible brushstrokes on your painted tiles, you can paint details with small foam brushes instead of bristled paint brushes.

If you’re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you’ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set.

You can let the tile sit without grout. Don’t panic if there’s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting. 

The lifespan of tile flooring can vary significantly based on the material and maintenance. Generally, tile flooring can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, but high-quality, well-maintained ceramic tile can last 75 to 100 years. To achieve a longer lifespan, you should clean the tiles and grout regularly, reseal the grout annually, keep the floor dry, and avoid placing extremely heavy items on it to prevent cracking. Choosing a high-quality tile (Grade 1) will also contribute to its longevity.
