"Bob did a fantastic job installing carpeting and vinyl plank flooring throughout my two family home. The tile work he did in the tiny awkward shaped bathroom also came out awesome. His price was fair and reasonable. I would highly recommend him and will definitely hire him again in the future."

"Claudio (the owner) is everything I wanted in a contractor - knowledgeable, qualified, reasonable, trustworthy, easy to work with, and cares about the quality of his work. I am very happy with the work and I am someone who cares about the details. I would hire them again without question and plan to for future projects. Claudio and his team removed an internal wall that was covered in built in book shelves to reconnect two rooms as originally intended when the house was built, redesigned around a fireplace, installed a wall, closed off a doorway and built a hall closet as part of the project, which also include electrical work, removing some floor brickwork and replacing it with wood to match the existing floor, which he did perfectly, and painting. Separately Claudioâ s team has also replaced and updated internal waterlines and external hose connections, replaced a bathroom vanity, sub-flooring, wallboard, and tile work."

"Herb was the first person in my house, other than me, since March. He wore a mask and was very courteous about the fact that I am "elderly and compromised" and worried about Covid 19. He did everything quickly and found ways to fix things that were less invasive and therefore less expensive than I expected. I was pleased with his communication and punctuality and it seems everything was done well."

"two man crew installed wall to wall carpeting in basement as well as on stairs to basement - all work done in a very professional manner and the results were great - helped move large furniture back into place - one man (Eddie) installed the vinyl floor covering in kitchen - several skim coats were first applied over existing ceramic tile - next a heavy paper pattern was made of the floor (although this is a small floor it was far from a perfect rectangle with quite a few cuts needed including under stove, refrigerator, dishwasher) - this was used as a guide to cut final vinyl - new vinyl laid out perfectly with no further trimming - a very professional job!! definitely recommend Domenic & Sons for quality of work and material"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Add a T-shaped spacer to each corner of a tile when placing it. You’ll want to nudge the tiles closer together so the spacers are touching each corner. When you’re done installing your tile, you can remove each spacer, wash them, and use them for your next project.

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.

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.

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Larger tiles can be difficult to install because they’re heavier and bulkier than their smaller counterparts, which makes them harder to haul around and put in place. Plus, if you don’t install the tiles correctly, they could crack or break. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a professional for large-format tile installation.
