"We had a delivery truck knock over the pedestal with 4 mailboxes on it in our townhouse subdivision. He was very professional and prompt. He came when he said he would and was done in one day. Highly recommend him."

"She wanted me to come to the office in Gansevoort to give me more information but she didn’t share it in person at home or send it to me by email like the other companies I contacted did.  She gave multiple phone calls to ask why I wasn’t going, which I found a little intrusive.  I called her the Saturday to tell her I couldn’t make it because I work during the week and Gansevoort is about a forty-minute ride.  She wanted to me design ideas but I wasn’t interested in that, I just felt it was pressure and she wouldn’t give me an estimate via email.  I just wanted a basic tiling done, so I am not sure why she couldn’t give me a basic estimate like the other ones did.  She is a pleasant woman but I like the convenience of being able to work in my house or by email because I work and I don’t have a lot of time to run around looking at things for estimates.  She didn’t end up giving me a quote at all."

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.

For glass tile, you want to use unsanded grout. Sanded grout is a stronger and grittier cement grout that is great for installing tiles with wider gaps and into joints. However, it is susceptible to scratching glass tile and is more difficult to use in thinner gaps. Unsanded grout, while more expensive, is easier to fit between thin gaps and is less harsh on delicate materials, like glass tile.

You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface. 

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.

On average, tiling a shower costs between $1,800 and $5,000, with most people paying around $2,700. The price of this project depends on multiple factors, including the kind of tile you choose, the size of your shower, and labor rates in your area. If you decide to tile your own shower (instead of hiring a professional), it’ll likely cost $800 to $1,400.
