"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!"

"Never used Angie's List before, and Kibuk Tile & Stone did a great job installing the shower pan, water proofing the area and installing the tile. They worked hard and completed the job within the promised time frame."

"John did an amazing job we needed some tile work done and he truly did an amazing job and made it look like we had our bathtub remodeled, I would highly recommend him to anybody that is looking for quality work. He definitely puts a lot of time into what he does and that goes along ways. I definitely will be using him for a kitchen project. I have in the next several months. Thank you again, John."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.

Yes, unfortunately, it is normal for wall and floor tiles to crack, especially when you drop heavy items on tiled floors or place heavy objects on them. Tiles are also more susceptible to cracking when ceramic tiles designed for walls are installed on floors, as these are often not strong enough to handle heavy loads from foot traffic and furniture. Similarly, tiles that are installed incorrectly, lack adequate subflooring, or have other installation problems are prone to cracking. To avoid these problems and the inevitable repair and replacement costs they bring, always hire a professional for tile work and follow best practices for installation.

Tile installation can be expensive because it requires more time and labor to install than many other materials. For example, laminate flooring can click and lock into place, and carpet comes in large rolls that you can secure to the floor. On the other hand, tiles need to be cut, laid individually, grouted, and left to cure.

For professional labor and materials, it would cost between $6,000 and $28,000 to install 1,000 square feet of Saltillo tile flooring. If that’s out of your budget, you could consider laying the tiles yourself or choosing a less expensive type of flooring. For example, vinyl flooring costs just $2 to $7 per square foot, so for a 1,000-square-foot space, you’d pay $2,000 to $7,000.

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.
