"Nick was the Ultimate Tile Master!! First, he found the exact tile from Italy that I wanted. He painstakingly cut all the different sizes I wanted to complete my design. He returned within a day for a modification to accomodate my new larger shower faucet controls. And the final feat...(after NO other tile installer would take this on), he cut a long skinny backsplash from special blue granite I had saved in my garage, to match my countertop!! Nick goes WAY above and beyond to achieve perfection!!! He is absoutely the best!"

"Florin and Sam excel in customer service! With a one day turn around from quote to installation I could not be more pleased. The kitchen backsplash looks stunning! We made a last minute change to the actual tile and Florin went above and beyond in accompanying me to help select a new tile. Even with this unexpected change in plan the team stayed on track and completed the project on time the same day. Highly recommend Florin and Sam. Will definitely call them for my next project!"

"Working with Tom was an absolute pleasure. Tom built a beautiful fence for us. He made sure we got exactly what we wanted every step along the way. I will be hiring him again to stain the fence, as well as other projects around the house. I would highly recommend working with 503 Conatruction!"

"I purchased a barn door that shipped with slightly bent top metal support bar. Paul and his team made subsequent installation modifications to attachment to wall as work around. Took some creativity and ingenuity. Installation came out perfectly functional and looked great."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, it would be best if you waterproofed your shower walls before tiling. The cement backing board behind the tile is not waterproof; it’s only water-resistant. On top of your tile backing board, be sure to use a waterproof shower membrane before you start installing your shower tiles.

Updating your backsplash without removing the tile is possible in a couple of different ways. First, you can remove the old grout and replace it with new grout to give your backsplash a fresh look. You can also change the grout color, which can have a surprisingly large impact on the final appearance of the backsplash. Finally, you can paint the original tile to totally change the look of the backsplash without removing it.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

Add a T-shaped spacer to each corner of a tile when placing it. You’ll want to nudge the tiles closer together so the spacers are touching each corner. When you’re done installing your tile, you can remove each spacer, wash them, and use them for your next project.

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.
