Memo did our kitchen backsplash, finished 3 sets of stairs with railings, and made a custom fit door for our attic. All the work came out beautifully and was done in less than a week and he was very accommodating working with our limited time schedule.

"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

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.

Removing old tiles can be more complicated, but it can also be more manageable, depending on your circumstances. Typically, old tile is hard to remove because the adhesive had loads of time to bond with your wall, becoming a formidable foe between you and your new tile installation project. On the other hand, old tile in high-traffic areas can become loose, making it much easier to remove.

The time it takes to retile a bathroom includes the installation time for the grout and tile, prep work, and waiting time. The waiting time allows the mortar, grout, and caulk to cure correctly.

A professional tiler can finish your bathroom tiling in about 6 to 8 hours. Add another 24 hours in between steps, for 2 to 3 days before the tiling is done.

Like any painted surface, tile paint can peel and chip over time. However, tile paint can become especially susceptible to peeling during periods of high humidity. Other sources of excess moisture will also cause tile paint to peel faster than normal. And if the tiles are in a high-traffic area, like the entryway floor, tile paint will chip and peel faster.

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.

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.
