"Jake is â top notchâ when it comes to tile installation! He did fantastic tile work on our entryway, ½ bath, laundry room, master bath floor and shower and second bath floor and tub surround (we canâ t wait for him to come back this spring to do our kitchen backsplash)! Jake would arrive as promised, worked with me on a daily basis, kept me posted on his progress and took care of absolutely everything! He completed the entire project in a timely fashion and stayed long hours until the project was finished. I sincerely appreciated the texts, phone calls and picture updates. He made sure that we were happy with every step of the install! My husband and I are beyond thrilled with the beauty of his craftsmanship. As any homeowner knows, it can be extremely difficult to find honest, hardworking people who are trustworthy and take obvious pride in their workmanship. If you are looking for someone who does 5 star tile work and provides outstanding customer serviceâ ¦hire Jake! â …â …â …â …â …"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Grout lines should typically be between 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick. This ensures enough room for the grout to dry properly and makes them wide enough to look clean and professional. If grout lines are too small, it can be easier to see imperfections in the spacing. 

Yes, it would be best if you waterproofed your shower walls before tiling. The cement backing board behind the tile is not waterproof; it’s only water-resistant. On top of your tile backing board, be sure to use a waterproof shower membrane before you start installing your shower tiles.

Yes, cracked tiles allow water to seep through the substrate or subfloor, leading to mold and mildew growth. It can also cause severe structural damage. At the very least, water damage can cause your tile to lift from the substrate, meaning one cracked tile can lead to several cracked tiles. It’s a good idea to waterproof tile in areas with direct water exposure or lots of moisture.

You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.

Yes, even if you’re being careful, removing tile can damage your drywall to some degree. However, you can minimize the damage done to it by eliminating a majority of the grout and taking your time prying each tile off. Also, it's worth noting that you might have more drywall damages to deal with if your tile is set into the mortar.
