"Steve is A-mazing. The care and attention to detail is like nothing I have ever seen before. My new backsplash looks fabulous. He made sure everything lined up and the cut around the window ledges are a work of art. Wish I had found him a decade ago. Have lined up at least 3 additional project him. Wish there were more stars. Definitely recommend him."

"These guys were amazing. I hired them to install a new backsplash and to fix some cracked grout. John came out to my house within a day and set up his associate Allen to be at my place right before the holidays. Allen was punctual, professional, and really educated me about the things I should do and lookout for with my tiles. He even found out that I needed extra tile in my shower - where I had no clue that I even had an issue there. As soon as I got the extra tile, John and Allen scheduled to come back right away and finished the job without a hitch. They stayed in constant contact with me and updated me every step of the way. Having hired a lot of contractors recently, I have to say I am very pleased with the care and attention these guys gave me. A"

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.

If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward. 

It’s possible to walk on a clay tile roof, but you run the risk of breaking or cracking the tiles if you’re not careful, so it’s best not to walk on it if you can avoid it. If you or a contractor needs roof access, be sure to distribute your weight evenly and step on the portions of tile that are also supported underneath, which depends on your tile design. Walking on any roofing material is inherently dangerous, so wear rubber-soled shoes and use safety equipment if you need to access your roof.

You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface. 

Removing old tiles can be more complicated, but it can also be more manageable, depending on your circumstances. Typically, old tile is hard to remove because the adhesive had loads of time to bond with your wall, becoming a formidable foe between you and your new tile installation project. On the other hand, old tile in high-traffic areas can become loose, making it much easier to remove.
