"A little confusion with billing but we got it figured out. A little more expensive than I thought it should be. Good customer service, quick professional installation. I would buy from them again."

"Contractor team led by Bobby tore out my existing tile shower, re-waterproofed the space, then tiled and grouted a new complex tile arrangement. While the shower did go in successfully, I had the following issues: 1) They damaged (broke) some of the floor tile, which I discovered after final payment. They offered to replace it if I can find the proper tile. neither the contractor nor I were able to find a matching tile therefore I elected to leave this broken. 2) They reinstalled the shower controls and head incorrectly so only the overhead flow works, but not the handheld which should be able to be toggled to. Lost pieces of the shower. And so there was like a flow control feature, that wouldn't work. We reach out to the manufacturer and thought they knew which part was based on like the video we sent them and they sent us that part and didn't work because I ended up having to buy an entirely new shower which cost me like 300/350 and I put it up myself. The contractor like did offer to pay for it but like ultimately I decided just like it was fine, 3) At each stage they asked me to go hunt for tile and/or accompanying products. Overall they got the job done, but it wasn’t great work and I’m going to have to pay another pro to fix some of the things that these guys did. Overall they got the job done . And took some extra time to remediate . Issues. They were very communicative and worked with me to remediate the problems. That were reasonable to fix. And therefore I consider working this contractor again."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.

Tile—specifically smaller, mosaic-style tiles—is the best type of flooring for building a walk-in shower base. Shower pans come with a threshold and sidewalls to contain the water, but tile can be set into the shower base. This creates a walk-in shower floor that gently slopes toward the drain to keep water from getting out and into the rest of the bathroom.

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.

For glass tile, you want to use unsanded grout. Sanded grout is a stronger and grittier cement grout that is great for installing tiles with wider gaps and into joints. However, it is susceptible to scratching glass tile and is more difficult to use in thinner gaps. Unsanded grout, while more expensive, is easier to fit between thin gaps and is less harsh on delicate materials, like glass tile.

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.
