"We were very impressed with Mike and Don. We received recommendation from someone that knew his work. After we had a preliminary design for the kitchen, Mike came over and measured the space against the draft plans. He asked about the things we were looking to have in the new kitchen and made suggestions and corrections in the design. When we had the updated design, he again came over and measured a 2nd time, to make sure it was all correct and to see if we thought of anything else. If he didn't think something was a good idea, he told us so and explained why, which was really helpful. When we signed the contract, he took a small down payment. Because of the pandemic we waited over 6 months for the cabinets to arrive. But once they were finished, we agreed on a start date and Mike and Don showed on time ready to go. All of the sub-contractors Mike used were professional, but a couple stood out, the demolition team; Jose, the tile man; and Jude, the painter. Since we trusted Mike, and things were going well, we started adding projects as we went. At the end we pretty much remodeled the first floor of our house. We probably would have met our original timeline if we had not done the additional work. Lastly, Mike did not demand up front money, we paid as we went, which made us feel in the drivers' seat. My wife and I absolutely recommend Quest Renovations."

"Let me start by saying this the third bathroom John has gutted and recreated for us. I found John on Angie’s list about 6 years ago to renovate a bathroom on our first floor. He was amazing! Turning a tiny serviceable bathroom to a beautiful shower space. In May of 2025 I dug out John number to get him to do his magic again, this time to renovate 2 more bathrooms. One is a giant master bath, the other a small guest bathroom, both with the original decor of 1993! I love John’s process. He comes and listens to your visions then adds his own expert suggestions and provides a quote and a shopping list. When you have all the items in home you let him know and he sets the date for renovation and gives you the timetable which he adheres to. John is exact and meticulous, and works through until finished. He is timely and reliable and a charming presence at 7 am when he religiously starts his days. John was assisted by Mike who was also a meticulous craftsman and in addition a great painter. The end result is nothing short of gorgeous. Our master bath was transformed to the modern era and John’s attention to detail and artful eye creates a masterpiece."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Penny tile should be sealed to protect the grout from moisture and keep stains from damaging the look of the tile. If penny tile is in a humid or high-traffic area, like a bathroom, kitchen, or entryway, it needs sealant. Any type of tile and grout is best maintained with a sealant reapplied by a pro every one to two years.

Glass, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone are all excellent choices for tiling a shower floor. Some glazed finishes can be slippery when wet. Your tiling contractor can provide more information on which tiles will work best for your shower floor.

You can use sanded or unsanded grout for a shower pan, but sanded grout isn’t the best option for shower walls. For those areas, you’ll want to use unsanded grout, which works well on vertical surfaces and is less likely to slump than sanded grout. Alternatively, you can use epoxy grout for shower walls.

Yes, construction materials like tile, lumber, drywall, and hardware can be disposed of in a dumpster, just not in your regular garbage. As you’re planning your project, just make sure to rent the correct size of dumpster based on the scope of your needs and be aware of weight limits. Tile weighs a lot (along with other construction materials), and your costs could increase if you exceed the weight limit in your contract with the dumpster provider.

Regardless of the material, basic square tiles will never go out of style. Neutral colors like white, grey, beige, and black will always be in demand in residential and commercial settings. Certain designs, like herringbone and hexagonal patterns, are considered timeless. Porcelain and porcelain-like tiles will also never go out of style.

By submitting this question, I acknowledge and agree that Angi may publicly display my name, city, state, and question on the website for professionals and others to see.
