"Wonderful! Mr. Sullivan (Steve, as he likes to be called) did a great job. Even when I changed my mind about a certain cabinet and needed it moved to another location, he quickly went about taking that particular cabinet down and installing in the other location. He did great work and was clean and thorough to ensure that the cabinets lined up properly with no gaps. I have a few other projects that I will be calling him about in the near future. Thanks Steve! -Troy"

"Mark, with Tile by Donovan has been great. His pricing was right in line with three other estimates I received. I chose to go with Mark/Tile by Donovan, because I liked Markâ s attitude and manners best. I split my tile projects into two separate jobs, as I was waiting on another contractor to install the kitchen countertops before we could get to the backsplash. I gave Mark an initial challenge by requesting he add a small wall of tile adjacent to a previous tile job on my master bathroom shower. As Mark began that job, we soon noticed there was a difficulty in that the previous tile person did not have precisely straight rows, so Mark had to make undetectable adjustments as he installed the tile to make it work. He did a fantastic job and you canâ t detect any movement, visually. I invited him back to install the second project, being my kitchen back splash. Once my countertops were installed, we realized there was a 3rd inch of gap between the center of the wall and the countertop, thanks to poor workmanship during drywall. Fortunately, Mark and Johnnie knew how to correct the issue by building up the wall prior to installing the tile. Mark is meticulous in his work. Johnnie, his partner is awesome too. Mark uses a laser to make sure his rows stay perfectly level. He made sure that the focal point was centered and worked out from there. Every row is exactly equal and lined up evenly from the counter, as well as the cabinets. I couldnâ t be more pleased. I wish I would have found Tile by Donovan when I first started my whole house remodel. Iâ ve had 4 previous tile people install tile in my house, each being subpar. Mark was the 5th tile contractor to work on my home. He and Johnnie are awesome. I would recommend them all day long. Not only is his work awesome, he and Johnnie are polite and respectful. They took care to respect my home as they worked, and cleaned up afterwards each day. He does a great job of listening to you and does well in executing those ideas into reality. Lastly, Mark is very responsive with his phone calls and texts. Heâ s easy to get hold of. He communicates the night prior to arrival and confirms his ETA in the morning. He also communicates if heâ s going to be late. He respects your time. Lastly, he went over and above by picking up additional materials for me and allowed me to reimburse him through Venmo. I wish I could leave pictures on this website, but it doesnâ t provide for pictures. Absolutely over and above. I highly recommend this team."

"Had them install a tile shower on our new construction home and I have no complaints. Easy to work with, and they did a great job. Have had a couple buddies use them on some remodels after mine and they have been just as pleased as well. Safe to say, anytime I need work done HHH will be my first call!"

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

To make a small bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored tiles in a medium- to large-format size. Lighter colors like white, cream, or light gray help open up a room, making it feel larger and more airy. While it may seem counterintuitive, small tiles can actually make a bathroom look smaller because the increased number of grout lines creates a busy pattern that visually shrinks the space. Instead, opt for medium- or large-format tiles for a more seamless, expansive appearance. For the best effect, pair your tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout to create a continuous surface that enhances the illusion of a larger area. Avoid dark colors, heavy patterns, and contrasting grout, as these can make the space feel more confined.

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.

On average, tiling a shower costs between $1,800 and $5,000, with most people paying around $2,700. The price of this project depends on multiple factors, including the kind of tile you choose, the size of your shower, and labor rates in your area. If you decide to tile your own shower (instead of hiring a professional), it’ll likely cost $800 to $1,400.

When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.

On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.
