"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"

"As a military family, we have to rely on reviews to find good companies. I am happy to say that the positive reviews of Northern Light Structures are on par. In an area that has many unprofessional contractors, it was nice to find one that I can put my trust in. For those of you who are military spouses, this company will be a useful tool while the husband is away. I will use Northern Light Structures in the future for those jobs that just can't wait for a deployment to end. I am very happy with my experience with this company."

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Flooring transition strips can be secured to the subfloor using glue, nails, or screws. For a more secure installation, especially in high-traffic areas, using screws or nails is recommended as it reduces the risk of slippage. However, if aesthetic appeal is a priority, glue provides a cleaner, more seamless finish without any visible holes or screw heads.

To make a bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored, medium- to large-format tiles. Light colors such as white, cream, or light gray make a space feel more open, while dark colors, busy patterns, and small tiles can make a bathroom feel smaller. It may seem counterintuitive, but small tiles can shrink a room visually due to the increased number of grout lines. Using medium- to large-format tiles creates a more seamless look. For the best effect, pair your light-colored tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout. This minimizes the grid-like pattern and gives the floor and walls a more continuous, uninterrupted appearance, helping the room feel significantly larger.

Yes, unfortunately, it is normal for wall and floor tiles to crack, especially when you drop heavy items on tiled floors or place heavy objects on them. Tiles are also more susceptible to cracking when ceramic tiles designed for walls are installed on floors, as these are often not strong enough to handle heavy loads from foot traffic and furniture. Similarly, tiles that are installed incorrectly, lack adequate subflooring, or have other installation problems are prone to cracking. To avoid these problems and the inevitable repair and replacement costs they bring, always hire a professional for tile work and follow best practices for installation.

Once cracks appear, it is hard to stop tiles from cracking more. If the cause of the problem is improper subflooring, underlying concrete, improper tile joint sizes, mold growth, or structural issues, the only way to stop floor tiles from cracking is to redo the entire floor, fixing the underlying issues first. If cracks occur after impact damage, hiring a professional tile contractor to replace the cracked tiles, fix loose floor tiles, and restore the grout around them can prevent further damage. It is also important to keep your tile and grout clean and maintained to prolong its life.

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.
