"I hired this professional to install ceramic tile in my bathroom, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. The workmanship is excellent?clean cuts, precise alignment, and a flawless finish that completely transformed the space. He worked efficiently, kept everything organized, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. Everything was done on time and with great attention to detail. I?m extremely satisfied and would absolutely hire him again. Highly recommended!"

"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."

They were so outstanding, they did more than I expected, everything was so neat and they are just awesome! Hard working, friendly, excellent craftsmen. This is who you should call with your roofing needs."

"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."

"This job went great. Justin and Mike started early and finished the job in one day. This small bathroom remodel involved removing the water heater, toilet, sink and removing and replacing three layers of wet sub floor. New high quality LVP floor was installed over new sub flooe, tub was brought back to level and all fixtures were re-installed. Great job, done correctly in a timely manner. Definitely will hire again."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

There are a few different tools you can use to score tiles. Manual tile cutters or tile scribes work well for scoring in straight lines. Tile nippers are one of the best options for scoring because they can make small and irregular cuts that larger tools may not be able to handle.

Using caulk is one of the simplest and most recommended methods to finish glass tile edges. It creates an elegant seam between the glass tile and the adjacent area, along with a waterproof seal. With this method, you want to use a caulk color that matches the grout and, along with the grout, compliments the tile. Make sure the caulk line is smooth and even. Alternatively, you can use a bullnose or tile trimming to edge, however, that will also require caulk to seal.

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.
