"We live in an older house and our floor was a nightmare. We had luxury vinyl flooring installed in the entire downstairs, the stairway platform, and our upstairs hallway. It looks amazing. He did such a great job. We hired him a second time to come back and install new flooring in the upstairs bedrooms and to replace five interior doors in our home after Christmas."

"I have seen the talent, passion, and technique that goes into all of Curt's projects. He won't accept anything less than the highest standard of quality of himself and for his customers. Curt is one of the few guys I would trust to help me with any of my own personal projects. He has a extreme talent and a precision skill set for laying ceramic tile, he does great drywall work and any type of finish carpentry. He is capable of just about anything and he always finds a way, despite any setbacks, to get the job done. I would highly recommend Curt and his helpers for any of your needs of a Handyman!"

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.

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.

You should always use caulk instead of grout where the tile meets the wall. This will help your tile installation look great and last a long time. When you accidentally use grout for the corner seams, you end up making the tiles too rigid. So as the wall shifts over time, your tiles have no wiggle room. This can lead to tile damage, which will eventually require you to do at least a partial reinstallation.

Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.

Yes, you can tile over existing shower tiles, but it's better to remove the old tiles first for the best results. Tiling over existing tiles requires a clean, level surface and proper adhesion. If the old tiles are in good condition, you can roughen the surface to improve adhesion. However, removing the old tiles ensures a smoother, longer-lasting finish and prevents potential issues down the line.
