"The project was completed professionally, including removal of old wall tiles and demolition of old wall board. They were very conscious of protecting the rest of the house from dirt during construction. The final tile installation is professionally done and looks great. We are very satisfied with the work."

"Renee and Israel installed glass tile backsplash on our kitchen and we are pleased with the results. The work was neat and Renee was responsive to any feedback. I would hire them again if I decide to remodel other areas of my house."

"From initial quote to finish of job, Krumlauf was outstanding. We had a 1000 sq. ft. hardwood install that included demo of existing carpet and ceramic tile. I can NOT say enough about their attention to detail, the quality of their work, communication throughout, and since I'm not a billionare, their fair and reasonable pricing. I'm already targeting them for more flooring work over the next months."

"Organizing the quote was simple and quick - the estimate was received at the same time as the company visited the home the first time. Scheduling was straightforward. Within 3 weeks of accepting the quote, work started. The crew was respectful, as quiet as is possible when removing an old backsplash, and exceptionally hardworking. Our backsplash was done beautifully in about 7 hours. Owner checked in on the work once during the day, and followed up a few days after was completed to ensure we were happy with the job. I will definitely consider them again for future projects. This company was not the lowest quote, but was close to it."

"I had Pro-Flooring and more install Luxury Vinyl plank in several rooms and couldn’t be more pleased with the job. Almost 800 sq ft of LVP were installed in one day that covers 2 rooms and made it seamless. Mikhail was very professional and kept me informed on all aspects of the job. He added new baseboards to complete the look and the rooms are outstandingly beautiful. Thank you!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. For example, it’s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire. 

Yes, provided you aren’t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.

The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.
