"We used this company before and liked the results, but this time around the quality was not as high. We were told - after we selected our stone - that there would be a long time between measuring and installing, due to a backup of work on their part, as I understood it. Since theirs was the only place we could find this particular stone, we decided to go ahead. It did mean a long delay in finishing our project. Besides that inconvenience there were several issues. First, they forgot to tell us to order braces for the island overhang -- good thing we figured that out on our own. Also, they would only let us use their custom made, expensive braces that would take several weeks to come in. Again, good thing we figured out to order them early enough. Then there was a delay due to trouble getting one of our sinks, which problem they finally explained to us after someone in their shop implied it was our fault for changing one (small) part of the order. Then the vanity counter was cut wrong, and if we hadn't noticed it we had to wonder if they'd have installed it anyway. No one ever apologized for the error. It was our good fortune that there was similar stone in stock (after we had been told they didn't have any more of this type). And the "white" sink we ordered through KSI was definitely not white, and we were told to go find another sink on our own. Which we did, and surprised them with how fast we got one. Makes us wonder why they, who do this all the time, couldn't do as well. When the installers finally came back with the stone cut correctly, and both sinks correct, there seemed to be a "chill" in the air. They were just not very friendly this time around. To the company's credit when I informed them about how this part of the install went, they responded quickly and were appropriately apologetic, explaining the circumstances which had nothing to do with us. We can understand how everybody can have a bad day, but it put a bad tone over finishing the project. The counters looks nice, but the trouble we went through along the way was frustrating. We may be looking for a different company if we do work like this in the future."

"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

Yes, you can install a backsplash directly onto drywall, provided the wall is properly prepped, clean, and dry. For best results, especially in kitchen areas, your walls should be made of moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board. If your current wall isn't moisture-resistant, it's recommended to replace it before installing the backsplash. For even greater protection against water damage, you can remove the existing drywall and install a tile backer board or cement board instead. While properly installed standard drywall is typically strong enough to support a backsplash, some local building codes may require water-resistant materials in kitchen areas, so it's a good idea to check.

How long painted tiles last ultimately comes down to the quality of the paint job and how much wear and tear the tiles get. It’s possible the paint job will only last about six months if the tiles are in a high-traffic area and they weren’t properly cleaned, sanded, and primed prior to painting and sealing. Well-painted tiles in a low-traffic area should last at least a year.

Lack of durability is the most significant downside of painting tile. However, a painted tile backsplash doesn't see the same kind of action as, say, painted flooring tiles. For backsplashes, the durability of the finish is crucial because they often require cleaning. However, you can minimize the durability problem by using mild cleaners and water on the painted surfaces.

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.

Removing old tiles can be more complicated, but it can also be more manageable, depending on your circumstances. Typically, old tile is hard to remove because the adhesive had loads of time to bond with your wall, becoming a formidable foe between you and your new tile installation project. On the other hand, old tile in high-traffic areas can become loose, making it much easier to remove.
