"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!"

"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 am amazed that one person tackled the job of adding a new floor covering in my small bathroom. He did a beautiful job, cleaned up afterward, and left me with a new bathroom effect. Now I am considering doing something to the color of my tiles and getting a new shower curtain to complete the look."

Backsplash Installation questions, 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. 

You can use sanded or unsanded grout for a shower pan, but sanded grout isn’t the best option for shower walls. For those areas, you’ll want to use unsanded grout, which works well on vertical surfaces and is less likely to slump than sanded grout. Alternatively, you can use epoxy grout for shower walls.

The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.

When choosing between porcelain and ceramic tile, the best option depends on your specific needs, budget, and project application. Porcelain tile is generally more durable, denser, and harder than ceramic, making it a good choice for busy, high-traffic areas. It also offers superior moisture resistance, making it ideal for moisture-retaining spaces. However, porcelain is typically more expensive, and its hardness can make it brittle, potentially causing it to crack if a heavy object is dropped on it. In contrast, ceramic tile is a more budget-friendly option with lower material and installation costs. It is softer and easier to work with, making it a great choice for DIY projects. While not as durable as porcelain, ceramic is still a quality material suitable for many home applications, particularly small, decorative projects.

Yes, tiling a bathroom is a great way to boost your home's value, especially if you are replacing old or dated flooring. Adding a new tile floor can deliver a return on investment (ROI) of around 56.4%, with some projects offering up to 100% ROI. Buyers appreciate new tile because it provides a modern look and is known for being durable, water-resistant, low-maintenance, and easy to clean. For the best results and highest return, consider hiring a professional, as tiling mistakes can be very noticeable and detract from the value.
