"Jorge and his crew did a great job. They started early in the morning and worked thru the whole day. I hired them to install a bluestone walkway and steps. The job was completed quicker than expected, turned out great and they cleaned up the whole area. They take pride in their work and I highly recommend them."

"Joe and Joe (Father and Son Team) installed a kitchen back-splash for us, and we are very happy with the communication, and scheduling for the tile installation. We are very satisfied with the quality and craftsmanship of the final tile installation, their price was very reasonable, and they cleaned up before they left. JAC Creative Stone Works exceeded our expectations, and we would contract them for future projects without hesitation. Thanks Joe and Joe!"

"The work these guys did was nothing short of spectacular! Joe, along with his father and son duo, tackled our project like pros?and with the kind of friendliness that could make even your in-laws jealous. Joe dropped by a month early for a quote, meticulously laying out his game plan step by step. His communication was so clear. And let?s talk about the tile I chose?it was like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded! Yet, they handled it with such precision that I?m convinced they might have some secret tile-wizardry skills. If you want a job done right, with a smile and a sprinkle of humor, these are the folks to call!"

"Hugh's three workers were fantastic. They completed the work on the deck replacement in a day-and-a-half. The work was done cleanly with no damage to the landscaping that is so close to the project. Clean up when the project was completed is superior to any other we had done in the past. The refurbished storm door looks brand new and is a welcoming addition to the project. Hugh contacted us the same day as our request and showed up for the initial estimate on time. I cannot emphasize more what a pleasant experience it was having Hugh and his workers take care of our project. HNI is being highly recommended by us, and we will be calling him for additional projects in the future. The quality of the work done far exceeds the cost. Thank You. Hugh"

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

Yes, it would be best if you waterproofed your shower walls before tiling. The cement backing board behind the tile is not waterproof; it’s only water-resistant. On top of your tile backing board, be sure to use a waterproof shower membrane before you start installing your shower tiles.

Uniform spacing between tiles is important for a professional and clean appearance. To achieve this spacing, tile spacers should be placed between the tiles and left in place until the mortar hardens and the tiles are secure. You can use X-shaped spacers vertically in between the tiles and laid flat at the corners.
