I had new 6 inch gutters. Installed all around my house. Very happy with the work and craftsmanship. Good quality work.
"Chris replaced a backsplash in our new house. The previous owner had installed subway tile himself and it was done horribly. Chris came highly recommended by a previous client, and he did not disappoint. Chris was on time and professional. He removed the previous backsplash, replaced the drywall, and installed the glass mosaic tile we purchased. Chris advised us on grout and offered additional decorative decisions; the end result surpassed what we envisioned. We highly recommend Chris for any tile work and will definitely use him again for future projects."
"Did an amazing job! Would definitely hire again when we need tile or floor work done. I'm sure they are great at all areas of expertise. Thank you!!!"
"Sam installed a glass tile backsplash for me in my kitchen. It wasnâ t the easiest glass tile to work with but he did a great job! It came out fabulous!!!"

"I can’t say enough good things about this company. We hired them to do a kitchen renovation. Both Mitch and Bob did an outstanding job in every aspect. They they were very knowledgeable and quick to resolve any issues that arose unexpectedly. They paid great attention to detail didn’t rush through any of the projects and still finished in a timely manner. They both showed up every day on time and they responded to any phone calls or questions in a timely manner. We have hired many contractors over the years and I honestly can say I would not recommend any of them to my friends or family. However, in this case I would be very happy to recommend both Mitch and Bob to any of my friends or family. It gives me piece of mind to know that on my future projects I won’t have to search for a contractor. I’ll know exactly where to go. 5stars"
"I cannot say enough about Sam and his team. They made our dream house a reality. They truly care about and take pride in the work they do. Communication was excellent from everyone on the team. Our project was done on time and on budget. We are so thankful to have found Nelson General Contractor and would highly recommend"
"My experience with this company was a really pleasant one from my first phone call and speaking to Amanda to having John their estimator come out to my home to quote the price. Their price was really reasonable. Allen Did the work. I can â t say enough good things about him. He arrived on time and did a beautiful job fixing the tiles in my tub area that a plumber damaged while installing a tub fixture. He was quick and thorough and went out of his way to go above and beyond to please us. I would recommend this company to anybody."
"Anthony was excellent! He actually drove me to the tile place so I could pick out my tile. He did extra work and installed sheet rock because one of my walls had water problems. He's professional but has wonderful "people skills". He's a great guy I would highly recommend and will use again. "
"Replaced bathroom floor tile, and handled a tricky job well - needed to do significant repair to joists first. Fast, responsive, honest, clear communications all through. Very professional"
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
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).
Tiles last for around 100 years or more. Tiles on backsplashes can last even longer since they’re less likely to crack under foot traffic or from accidental drops, but even tile in high-traffic flooring can last a century or more with proper installation and upkeep. Porcelain tiles are denser and stronger than standard ceramic tiles, so they’ll last longer, often pushing past the 100-year mark.
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.
Glass tile is one of the easiest materials to maintain. It is both stain and water-resistant, making it easy to clean and incredibly durable. This also makes it resistant to mold and mildew. However, make sure it’s kept clean, otherwise, your grout might start to degrade. Glass is liable to scratch, so ensure you’re using non-abrasive materials and products, like soft sponges and wipes.
If you’re handling your tile removal yourself, seal the room using painter’s tape and heavy-duty contractor bags to prevent dust and shards from escaping. Use a claw hammer or a pry bar and a mallet to get behind the tile and pry it away from the floor or wall. Once your tiles are all removed, sweep everything into contractor bags for disposal, being careful not to overfill them. Make sure you wear a dust mask, safety goggles, and work gloves to keep yourself safe from injury while you work.
