"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 questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.

Yes, you can tile over existing shower tiles, but it's better to remove the old tiles first for the best results. Tiling over existing tiles requires a clean, level surface and proper adhesion. If the old tiles are in good condition, you can roughen the surface to improve adhesion. However, removing the old tiles ensures a smoother, longer-lasting finish and prevents potential issues down the line.

It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth. 

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.

The lifespan of tile flooring can vary significantly based on the material and maintenance. Generally, tile flooring can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, but high-quality, well-maintained ceramic tile can last 75 to 100 years. To achieve a longer lifespan, you should clean the tiles and grout regularly, reseal the grout annually, keep the floor dry, and avoid placing extremely heavy items on it to prevent cracking. Choosing a high-quality tile (Grade 1) will also contribute to its longevity.
