"Travis and his employee's were wonderful. They replaced the tile in our walk-in shower and we couldn't be happier with the result. Travis was very quick to respond and was great to work with. The quality of their work is second to none. So very glad we were able to find him through HomeAdvisor."

"Overall very good experience. Quality work at a fair price. Good communication on progress of the project. Just a couple of small issues for follow-up that were completed in a timely fashion. I would recommend 3D to others."

"This was a difficult job. The first countertop was poorly installed. When I measured for the new one I did not take into account the overhang. In spite of these challenges and not having the right faucet, I now have a solid, well installed countertop, sink and faucet in my small RV. I’m looking forward to using RT for other projects."

"The R and C team did a great job on my flooring project. The bid was much lower than the final expense but the job was tricky and much unknown until farther into it. No complaints with the service, execution or final expense. The team was very friendly and communicative."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.

Using caulk is one of the simplest and most recommended methods to finish glass tile edges. It creates an elegant seam between the glass tile and the adjacent area, along with a waterproof seal. With this method, you want to use a caulk color that matches the grout and, along with the grout, compliments the tile. Make sure the caulk line is smooth and even. Alternatively, you can use a bullnose or tile trimming to edge, however, that will also require caulk to seal.

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.

You can let the tile sit without grout. Don’t panic if there’s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting.
