"This is the 4th project we’ve used Exotic Tile for. They are professional, communicate well, show up and complete jobs on time. They’ve done two fireplaces, a bathroom floor and now a backsplash for us. All look perfect. We won’t go anywhere else for tile. I highly recommend at least having them get you an estimate if you’re looking to have tile work done!"

"We had a bathroom exhaust fan installed. James was very friendly he did a great job. He had to crawl through our low attic all the way to the farthest end of the house to run the vent through the roof. I'm sure that was not fun. James cleaned up after the job."

"We couldn?t be happier with the incredible bathroom remodel that Joe completed for us! His attention to detail, skillful craftsmanship, and professional approach exceeded all our expectations. From the beautifully tiled shower to the vanity installation and finishing touches, every element reflects Joe?s quality work for such a fair pricing too! Joe?s communication throughout the project was clear and consistent. He kept everything on schedule and maintained a clean worksite. We?re so glad we chose Joe for this bathroom remodel and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy contractor. He is now our go-to contractor for all our future projects."

Customers say: Quick response

"My installer Doug was absolutely wonderful. He arrive both days by 8 o'clock and never took a break during his work day. Prior to starting the job he told me and gave me a list of all the supplies I would need to purchase in order to complete the job. He even offer to go to the store with me if I felt that I would not be able to find the supplies. He is also very easy to contact. My back splash came out absolutely beautiful. I cannot get enough compliments when family and friend come over to visit. He guarantees his work and also had a list of references if you would like to hear more about his work that he gives to his customers. His prices are very fair compared to Home Depot and Lowe's. He has an abundance of experience and you will feel like he is family when he is in your home. I am so happy I found DAP Enterprise on HomeAdvisor and will use him again in the future if I ever need another project completed in my home."

"Mr. Doug of Perrell Flooring Installation performed the work. What I valued most is the fact I was able to get an estimate with in a day of calling, he showed up on time to start work and was able to start right away and complete the job in 2 days. When an unforeseen issue came up with one of the cut off valves he was able to handle."

We pride ourselves on our clear and concise communication. We want to ensure we provide you a quick, quality service on time and on budget.\n\nWe joined this business because we were tired of calling ten contractors to only get two to come out and bid. Then having to wait another 2-3 weeks to even get the bid before even scheduling service. Waiting around for weeks then just to have the project delayed and go way over the estimates didn’t feel right.\n\nWe are provide our clients the pricing quickly and transparently either on our website or right on a 15min consultation video call. We do everything to plan for issues that could arise on a job before they happen and, we inform our customers before the job begins if any changes would be expected.\n\nOur technicians have years of experience in the industry and pride themselves on quality and attention to detail. If you’d like professional service, easy communication & quoting, and a finished product you can be proud of, call us now!

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a backsplash directly onto drywall, provided the wall is properly prepped, clean, and dry. For best results, especially in kitchen areas, your walls should be made of moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board. If your current wall isn't moisture-resistant, it's recommended to replace it before installing the backsplash. For even greater protection against water damage, you can remove the existing drywall and install a tile backer board or cement board instead. While properly installed standard drywall is typically strong enough to support a backsplash, some local building codes may require water-resistant materials in kitchen areas, so it's a good idea to check.

It’s possible to walk on a clay tile roof, but you run the risk of breaking or cracking the tiles if you’re not careful, so it’s best not to walk on it if you can avoid it. If you or a contractor needs roof access, be sure to distribute your weight evenly and step on the portions of tile that are also supported underneath, which depends on your tile design. Walking on any roofing material is inherently dangerous, so wear rubber-soled shoes and use safety equipment if you need to access your roof.

Ideally, you should remove tile before installing hardwood floors, but there are good reasons not to. Removing stubborn tile can be a labor-intensive job that adds days to the project. The subfloor beneath the tiles could also be damaged during the process, meaning you’d have to repair the subfloor before installing the new hardwood floor. 

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.
