"Jim and his son were prompt and meticulous. They installed butcher block countertops that I had purchased beforehand, along with glass tile backsplash in my kitchen. Additionally, they installed a new sink, garbage disposal, and gas cooktop, and all associated plumbing. Jim had great suggestions along the way, and overall it was a terrific experience."

"Sky Wood and Tile excellent. Luis and his crew are fine craftsmen and show a dedication in their work. They completed a new tile floor install (850 square feet) and I was so impressed I also asked them to tile a new bathroom as well. Their price was reasonable, they completed the work on time and cleaned up after the work was completed. They come highly recommended."

"Doug from the Toms River office did the repair on my chipped granite. He showed up on time, he made sure he coved all the cabinets and the floors were he would be working. When he was finished I couldnâ t even tell where the chip was, he did such a great job repairing it and cleaned up after. I would highly recommend them. Thank you Doug!!!"

"It was a true pleasure working with Curtis on our basement remodel. He installed tile and wet bar and resurfaced a fire place floor to ceiling. He was quick and efficient while still maintaining excellent work. I am a new home owner and would have been easy to take advantage of but Curtis was honest with pricing and had awesome recommendations for the parts of the project my wife and I were not sure on. I would strongly recommend Curtis to anyone looking for a contractor and I plan to use him again in the future for a deck project."

"My bathroom was the original from 1969 - very outdated. Derek had fabulous suggestions on how to modernize a small space, including design ideas. My bathroom is beautiful and I am so happy with the results."

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.

Different types of tile cutters may work best depending on the type of tile you are cutting and the size of your project. There are two main types of tile cutters: manual and electric. Manual tile cutters are quick and easy to use for small projects and softer tile materials, but they can only make straight cuts. Electric tile cutters make light work of big projects and can cut through harder materials.

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.

Taking the time to properly prepare your tile backsplash before painting and treating it with care afterward is the best way to ensure its longevity. While the tile can last for the life of the home, you may have to repaint it after a few years. However, using only mild cleanser and water to keep it clean can maximize the paint's lifespan.

There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they’re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn’t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn’t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.
