"TRUST LUIS ? YOU WON?T REGRET IT. I was referred to LMcoatings and worked directly with Luis on my bathroom remodel. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. Luis gave a fair quote and truly considered my timeline. I needed to move in before the end of January, and he adjusted the schedule to finish on time, which I really appreciated. He personally helped me select tiles, paint, and fixtures, patiently explaining pros and cons instead of rushing decisions. His crew was professional, detail-oriented, and handled everything from demo and cleanup to tile work, plumbing, and structural reinforcement. What impressed me most was the quality of work you don?t see ? everything underneath was done properly. Remodeling requires trust, and Luis delivered a solid, beautiful result. I highly recommend Luis and LMcoatings."

"Reviewed a few companies before choosing Green Home installations. They were quick to come out for an initial estimate - pricing was fair - and showed up on time for their appointment to install the fence in one day. Thoroughly cleaned up after the install and delivered a great product. I am extremely happy with my fence, the work provided by their install team and their front office staff. Highly recommend them for your fencing needs."

"Matt performed the installation of a tile backsplash for us over 2 days. He was very knowledgeable and detail oriented in his installation. He asked questions on the intended design, suggested additional details to improve the planned design, and put great thought into his work. He kept the work area clean throughout the installation. I would absolutely hire him again for tile work."

"Shawn and his crew did a remarkable job and a considerable amount of work for only $30,000. This does not include the cost of the swim spa nor the eventual work that will be done to install an outdoor kitchen on Shawn's concrete pad and under his cover. The cedar pavilion is a work of art. It is in the craftsman style. This is about the 4th or 5th project Shawn has done for us, and we already have him on an additional project to expand some of the deck space around the pavilion. He has virtually remodeled and re-built our entire house! Shawn is so easy to work with, is flexible, and his price is always so reasonable. He and his crew do quality work and he usually has suggestions that will make the results even better than you originally expect."

"Amazing job! My roof replacement was done in a timely manner & the crew cleaned up beautifully. My roof tech came back out after the installation to perform another inspection to make sure everything was installed correctly & there were no nails or trash left behind."

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don’t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.

Glazed ceramic tiles don’t need to be sealed because the glazing already offers some protection against moisture. Unglazed ceramic tiles need to be sealed to keep the porous tile safe from moisture and staining. However, both types of tile can benefit from sealing. Sealant can make the tiles easier to keep clean and offer more resistance to water, spills, and stains.

You can use sanded or unsanded grout for a shower pan, but sanded grout isn’t the best option for shower walls. For those areas, you’ll want to use unsanded grout, which works well on vertical surfaces and is less likely to slump than sanded grout. Alternatively, you can use epoxy grout for shower walls.

Here’s another instance of where the answer is you could, but that doesn’t mean you should. Yes, part of the issue is getting the drywall to stay in place on the tiles, and it’s understandable that screws will crack the tiles and cause them to crumble. That’s why it’s a much better idea to screw drywall into studs, not your porcelain or ceramic tile. But aside from issues with attaching the drywall, it’s also about ensuring a smooth application without trapping moisture inside.

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.
