"We went with KSI because of their excellent reviews, and we were not disappointed. Given a lot of the mixed reviews on here for other area fabricators, we didn't really want to take a gamble on any company that we'd potentially have problems with later, so we're very glad we chose KSI. From start to finish everything was amazing.
KSI's estimate was more detailed than one from another company, the price was a little better, and they seemed to be more able to find the kind of stone we were looking for... all without us having officially "chosen" them yet. We worked with a saleswoman named Kelly and she was wonderful... very quick to respond to emails too. After we decided to go with them, the gentleman who came to measure for the templating was professional, knowledgeable, and answered all our questions. I ended up finding my own slabs at Triton Stone, and the process of getting quotes from KSI on different stones I picked out there was so quick -- it was either the same day or the next.
They were so flexible with us on a number of things, including installation date, avoiding a less desirable spot on one of the slabs, us delaying the measuring until we got some carpentry done, and so on.
The installers were very professional and communicated about everything that needed my input. The undermount sinks and cutouts look great; the cooktop cutout is snug and fits perfectly. No real mess to speak of after they left. There is one part that I wish was more snug with the wall, but they make it clear they can't always conform to walls... and there's not a straight wall in our old house. So it'll be taken care of with a backsplash.
We declined the sealer and warranty, so the price does not include that. We sealed it ourselves with a different product.
We are also so glad that they only charge for the amount of stone used, not the entire slab... which was great because the marble we chose was in smaller slabs, necessitating two for us instead of just one bigger one. So, know that they have remnants available from all their projects.
Overall, we're extremely pleased, and it went so smoothly it's almost a little unreal. We'd use KSI again and absolutely recommend them to others.

"Eddie was able to work when others were not. I was having old bathroom vanities removed and new vanities installed. In between these jobs, Eddie was able to get my old floor removed and the new tile installed, plus he hauled away the old flooring and an old toilet and installed a new toilet. All this happened with a minimum of down time for the bathroom. I was very pleased. The new floor looks great."

"All workers showed up on time and the work progressed on time. The weather was a factor but the job was finished in time and in a very professional manner. There was never a time when I had to worry if the job was being done the way it should be. There was a section of roofing on the back of the house that was done by an armature at best that caused a lot of wood rot. The foreman of the job showed me how it could be repaired and saved me over $1500 on the job.

I plan to use this provider in the future for work inside my home."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they’re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn’t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn’t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.

The grout shade you choose comes down to personal taste and preference. A darker grout will give you a more dramatic and noticeable contrast with the tile around it; however, lighter grout helps create a more uniform look when blending the colors together. Additionally, a darker grout combined with a patterned tile could be overwhelming to the eye, while lighter grout makes the pattern stand out as the main focus.

The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.

Yes, you can tile over existing tiles in a bathroom, but it is not always recommended. For this method to be successful, the original tile surface must be clean, flat, and free of damage such as cracks, unevenness, mold, or mildew. While tiling over existing tiles can save time and money, there are potential drawbacks. The new adhesive may not bond properly, and the process adds extra weight to the wall or floor. Additionally, the increased height of the surface could interfere with door clearances. For the best and most durable results, removing the old tiles before installing new ones is generally the better option.

No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.

If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.
