"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

Technically, you can start tiling in a corner and work your way out. However, it's not traditionally how tiling is done. Instead, work from the bottom middle of the wall. Tile out the entire row with whole tiles before moving on to the next row. Once you finish installing all of the whole tiles, then you focus on tiling the corners.

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.

Penny tile should be sealed to protect the grout from moisture and keep stains from damaging the look of the tile. If penny tile is in a humid or high-traffic area, like a bathroom, kitchen, or entryway, it needs sealant. Any type of tile and grout is best maintained with a sealant reapplied by a pro every one to two years.

You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. For example, it’s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire. 

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.

Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.
