"From start to finish, working with Andy and his team was an absolute pleasure. I am not kidding when I say that I had asked at least 20 people in NYC if they would recommend their contractor and they ALL said no. Well, I would 100% recommend Andy and Arta Construction. Andy was on time for our appointment, he helped me figure out how I could get everything done in my budget (he told me to get the materials myself and he was right, that was the way to save some money; but, when I needed him to get something it was also totally fine), and he finished on time. In the kitchen, he removed the cabinets, the floor, the countertop, and the backsplash; and then he built up the subfloor, installed IKEA cabinets that we assembled, installed our new floor, countertop, backsplash, sink, faucet, light fixture, and installed all of our appliances. Nothing was a problem for him. His work is detailed and his team cleans up every day. In the bathroom he removed all the mud set tile, floor, and bathtub. The work in there again was superb. You won't believe me when I tell you that all of that only took a little over two weeks. And that is because of some building issues on our end. Without that, it would have taken just under two weeks. He made us feel like we were in good hands and like he was just as invested in our project as we were, even though I'm sure that we were a small fish. He never made us feel like that. If you want work done that is reasonably priced, done on time, neat and tidy, and detailed, work with Andy."

"We are very happy with our renovation. Results were beautiful. They stayed within price and time estimate, but most importantly Dave is an honest decent person who’s very communicative. There will always be hiccups and we expected some. The Waxtel group was able to work with us to create a great bathroom. Tiling was top notch."

"Great company to work with. Their sub-contractors (e.g., plumber, electrician, tile installers, shower door craftspeople, etc.) were excellent. They worked well with our designer and with suppliers of materials. They followed plans. Minor and typical hiccups handled professionally and expeditiously. Scott and Paul are easy to work with. They are respectful and listen well. Good communicators. Protected the areas of the house they were not working in. They were able to work with higher end materials. Have recommended to others."

"I was very pleased and satisfied with the work that Loja Renovation provided. They replaced and installed a medicine cabinet by removing old tiles and replaced with new tiles to accommodate the new one. Patched a wall where a bathroom cabinet was removed. And replaced a tub spout with a new one. I would hire the again and recommend them to others."

"We hired David to gut renovate our bathroom. He was EXCELLENT! Note, we live in an old house and working in these spaces is often complicated and requires lots of attention to detail. Highlights: *He and his crew were always on time in the mornings and pushing the project forward *His team was ULTRA clean, it was a full renovation that normally generates lots of mess & dust and we hardly even noticed the mess as the space was always orderly at the end of the day (we've had chaotic renovations before and this was worlds better, project was next to our kitchen and we were able to use it with no problems) *We had multiple changes of scope and David was always knowledgeable and gave us advice about how to modify the project in a stylish, cost-effective way. *He has lots of trustworthy industry contacts such as for quality glass showers, tile purveyors and plumbers *His craftsmanship is HIGH quality and he devotes lots of time an effort into crafting a product that his clients like. He was meticulous about asking us for grout color, tile pattern and spacing (we chose herringbone), shower ledge measurements, custom shelving and all finishings. *We appreciated that the crew covered the floors on a daily basis and were careful not to damage the house as we are preserving its historical character * David is incredibly trustworthy and we would hire him again! Feel free to connect with us as a reference."

"The kitchen renovation, from start to finish, went smoothly and resulted in a kitchen more magnificent than we had envisioned. Working with the designer & cabinet craftsman was wonderful; their vast experience, portfolio of work to show for examples, & wide variety of backsplashes, materials & styles, allowed us to really hone the plan. Anthony's superintendant and crew were terrific: congenial, professional, on-time, making excellent use of their days, and were champs even when dealing with our incredibly difficult coop's superintendant and management board. We're left with a kitchen that has revitalized the entire feel of our NYC apartment and gladly give glowing reviews & appreciation for Anthony & his team."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth. 

The easiest tile size to install is large tiles, and they’re easier to install than small tiles—the job is faster and simpler when there’s less placing, adhering, and grouting to do. However, when tiles get really big, they’re more difficult to handle, cut, and fit. Standard floor tile sizes are 12-by-12 inches, 18-by-18 inches, and 12-by-24 inches.

The lifespan of bathroom tile can be 50 years or more, depending on proper installation and regular maintenance. A well-done tile job, whether it's a new installation or a retiling project, can last for many decades. To lengthen the life of your tile, it's best to have it installed by a professional and to perform regular maintenance. This includes routine cleaning, resealing, and regrouting as needed. With proper care, you can expect your tile to last 10 years or more before needing major repairs or retiling, especially in high-traffic areas where tiles can wear out more quickly.

Most professional shower tile installations take between six and eight hours, depending on the size and complexity. Most projects get completed in a single workday. DIY-ing the project takes around three to four days or roughly 16 hours. However, this will vary based on the skill level of the person completing the work.
