"Calvin did an excellent job. The tile above my stove and under my window looks beautiful. He really has a knack for placing tile. He was quick, neat, and friendly. He helped me decide a good look in my design. He was kind, considerate, and I was so pleased in the outcome. HE even cleaned up well after the job I would highly recommend him for all tile work."
"Terry was really great rescheduling my job when the tile wasnt here on time. He knew I wanted my backsplash done by the holidays so he juggled his schedule and made it happen. Im so happy with everything. Patti K. Collegeville"

"I had the pleasure to have Carlos S, Alexander and Devon replace a tub over tub and walls over tile walls replaced with a beautiful acrylic shower. These 3 men are wonderful very hard working and polite men. They did a tremendous job and everything went smoothly thanks to their expertise. I would highly recommend your company and especially these 3 men to my friends and family. The shower doors were not in stock at this time. I am requesting that Carlos S Alexander and Devon return to install my shower doors as soon as they are in stock."

"Mad City did a fantastic job. They removed my old bathtub and tile and installed a beautiful bath surround. I chose Arctic Ice for the pattern. It is beautiful. Love the practicality of the easy-to-clean surface. The faucet and grab bars are attractive, too. I got the metal shelves, which I like a lot. Highly recommend!"
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
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.
To make a small bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored tiles in a medium- to large-format size. Lighter colors like white, cream, or light gray help open up a room, making it feel larger and more airy. While it may seem counterintuitive, small tiles can actually make a bathroom look smaller because the increased number of grout lines creates a busy pattern that visually shrinks the space. Instead, opt for medium- or large-format tiles for a more seamless, expansive appearance. For the best effect, pair your tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout to create a continuous surface that enhances the illusion of a larger area. Avoid dark colors, heavy patterns, and contrasting grout, as these can make the space feel more confined.
Yes, you can use paint if you want to refresh your tile countertops. However, you must be mindful of the type of paint you use. Look for options explicitly created for tile that are also waterproof and durable. Over time, the paint will chip, so this is not considered a long-term solution for busy kitchens.
Poured-in-place terrazzo flooring is more durable than tile. In fact, it’s one of the most durable types of flooring on the market. It can last anywhere from 40 to 100 years, depending on maintenance. On average, you can expect your terrazzo floor to last about 75 years, but you will have to make repairs as needed.
Per the International Code Council, walk-in shower floors should have a minimum slope of 1/4-inch per foot (or a 2% slope) towards the drain. The slope should be no steeper than 1/2-inch per foot (or a 4% slope). This helps safely direct water into the drain rather than all over your bathroom.
