"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."

"Flavors did and outstanding job fixed our badly botched tile work in our bathroom. He is very detailed oriented and you would even know he was there when the job is complete. He is very neat and cleans throughout the project. If anyone would like to be completely satisfied hire Flavius Tile. You won't be sorry.."

"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

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

Glass tile can cost as much as or more than other durable tile types. When choosing the right tile for you, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of each can help you make an informed decision. The pros and cons of glass tile include:

Pros

  • Light-reflecting to add brightness

  • Waterproof and mold-resistant

  • Made from recyclable materials 

Cons

  • High cost compared to similar and more durable materials

  • Usually requires professional installation

  • More easily scratched compared to materials like ceramic and porcelain

Glass tile is one of the easiest materials to maintain. It is both stain and water-resistant, making it easy to clean and incredibly durable. This also makes it resistant to mold and mildew. However, make sure it’s kept clean, otherwise, your grout might start to degrade. Glass is liable to scratch, so ensure you’re using non-abrasive materials and products, like soft sponges and wipes.
