"HarnasHome Services performed all requested work with outstanding professionalism. Don and his associate were kind and respectful of my property throughout the build and the final cleanup. I asked for my room to be sheet rocked, ceiling fan installed, electric outlets installed, a partial subfloor installed then I added on a few extra things I needed done. They didn’t have to do those things but didn't hesitate getting them done. I will be hiring them again for an additional project I have in mind. I highly recommended Don Harnas for their professionalism, flexibility, timeliness, great personalities and very reasonable cost. Patricia Ulmen McCarthy"

"Josh did a great job installing luxury vinyl tile throughout our kitchen bathroom and hallway. He was a perfectionist. Taking whatever time was necessary to make each joint just right. Of course, he had all of the necessary saws, tools and special equipment needed to do an exceptionable job. Josh was knowledgeable about installing floors and came with previous experience. I highly recommend Josh and look forward to hiring him again, myself."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Technically, you can start tiling in a corner and work your way out. However, it's not traditionally how tiling is done. Instead, work from the bottom middle of the wall. Tile out the entire row with whole tiles before moving on to the next row. Once you finish installing all of the whole tiles, then you focus on tiling the corners.

Yes, you can tile over existing shower tiles, but it's better to remove the old tiles first for the best results. Tiling over existing tiles requires a clean, level surface and proper adhesion. If the old tiles are in good condition, you can roughen the surface to improve adhesion. However, removing the old tiles ensures a smoother, longer-lasting finish and prevents potential issues down the line.

While you shouldn’t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.

Using caulk is one of the simplest and most recommended methods to finish glass tile edges. It creates an elegant seam between the glass tile and the adjacent area, along with a waterproof seal. With this method, you want to use a caulk color that matches the grout and, along with the grout, compliments the tile. Make sure the caulk line is smooth and even. Alternatively, you can use a bullnose or tile trimming to edge, however, that will also require caulk to seal.

The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.
