"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 and his son were very professional and provided a fair estimate. They installed the backsplash of my kitchen and it looked spectacular!! They were punctual and finished the job in a timely manner. They also cleaned up after themselves and provided instruction on how to maintain/clean the tile to keep it looking nice for years."
"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 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."
"They were good. A little piece of the grout got onto my floor and it canâ t come off. Other than that itâ s a beautiful bath and shower and tile wall"

"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
The grout shade you choose comes down to personal taste and preference. A darker grout will give you a more dramatic and noticeable contrast with the tile around it; however, lighter grout helps create a more uniform look when blending the colors together. Additionally, a darker grout combined with a patterned tile could be overwhelming to the eye, while lighter grout makes the pattern stand out as the main focus.
Lack of durability is the most significant downside of painting tile. However, a painted tile backsplash doesn't see the same kind of action as, say, painted flooring tiles. For backsplashes, the durability of the finish is crucial because they often require cleaning. However, you can minimize the durability problem by using mild cleaners and water on the painted surfaces.
Regardless of the material, basic square tiles will never go out of style. Neutral colors like white, grey, beige, and black will always be in demand in residential and commercial settings. Certain designs, like herringbone and hexagonal patterns, are considered timeless. Porcelain and porcelain-like tiles will also never go out of style.
The lifespan of tile flooring can vary significantly based on the material and maintenance. Generally, tile flooring can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, but high-quality, well-maintained ceramic tile can last 75 to 100 years. To achieve a longer lifespan, you should clean the tiles and grout regularly, reseal the grout annually, keep the floor dry, and avoid placing extremely heavy items on it to prevent cracking. Choosing a high-quality tile (Grade 1) will also contribute to its longevity.
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.
