"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

Travertine is a natural stone, while porcelain is ceramic. You can enjoy the best of both worlds with porcelain travertine tiles. Some people prefer porcelain to travertine because it doesn’t require regular maintenance and it’s easier to clean. Porcelain travertine looks like the real thing but only costs $3 to $6 per square foot.

Whether you use a brush or roller depends on the size, shape, and amount of tiles. Rollers are easier to maneuver over large areas and can apply a more even coat of paint in a shorter time frame with no visible brushstrokes. Brushes are best for precision work, particularly in very small areas. If you don't want visible brushstrokes on your painted tiles, you can paint details with small foam brushes instead of bristled paint brushes.

Add a T-shaped spacer to each corner of a tile when placing it. You’ll want to nudge the tiles closer together so the spacers are touching each corner. When you’re done installing your tile, you can remove each spacer, wash them, and use them for your next project.

If you’re looking for a durable tile for a shower floor, consider porcelain, stone, or vinyl tiles. Each of these options, when installed correctly, will stand up well to everything from water and moisture to the impact from a dropped bottle of body wash. These materials are also easy to clean and maintain, making them popular options for shower floors.

Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.
