"Arete tile did a great job! He did a large backsplash area in our in-law suite and around our master bath garden tub. He was my first reply when requesting an estimate on Angi. Showed up at the exact time quoted for the estimate and for the installs. Very quick about providing the estimate. Very professional, friendly and cleans up good afterward. We will have him back to do another area of tile! Also felt that the price for the job was extremely reasonable! My husband does some construction and handyman work and we will be referring anyone looking for tile work to Arete tile!"

"James was very professional and courteous from start to finish and did a great job! We had an old ugly tile floor in our bathroom that he ripped up and replaced with brand new Vinyl Plank Flooring as well as remove and install a new toilet and vanity. We have had other trades in our house who weren't the friendliest or cleanest and James went above and beyond!"

"Dave was right on top of everything. He picked up the sliding patio door for me and installed it. Quality workmanship and attention to detail. He is easy to work with and cleaned up after each visit. I am going to hire him again to paint my great room. I would highly recommend him."

"I used Z & J for my recent remodel and truly could not be happier with the work, as well as the guys who came out and completed the work. Zach and his crew were on time, professional, kept me updated and cleaned up literally everything before leaving. I cannot recommend them enough and will be using them for all of my future projects. Do not hesitate to book Z & J"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.

Here’s another instance of where the answer is you could, but that doesn’t mean you should. Yes, part of the issue is getting the drywall to stay in place on the tiles, and it’s understandable that screws will crack the tiles and cause them to crumble. That’s why it’s a much better idea to screw drywall into studs, not your porcelain or ceramic tile. But aside from issues with attaching the drywall, it’s also about ensuring a smooth application without trapping moisture inside.

Whether you use a brush or roller depends on the size, shape, and amount of tiles. Rollers are easier to maneuver over large areas and can apply a more even coat of paint in a shorter time frame with no visible brushstrokes. Brushes are best for precision work, particularly in very small areas. If you don't want visible brushstrokes on your painted tiles, you can paint details with small foam brushes instead of bristled paint brushes.

There are several different products that allow underwater repair. Pool putty can help repair chips, cracks, and loose tiles without draining your pool, but it should only be used for a temporary fix. Certain two-part epoxy adhesives will cure underwater, too. That said, while it is technically possible to fix pool tiles underwater, it is usually not ideal, depending on the depth of your pool. You will still have to reach the tile, which means you might have to dive and make the repair while submerged.

Options include clay, concrete, and slate tiles. Each offers unique durability, aesthetics, and costs.
