"Mr. Pena has been far more responsive that I've experienced with other contractors in Lubbock. His person installed the deck boards and there were a few that were less than ideal. I pointed them out and he agreed and fixed them within 24 hours. He is very responsive, always has ideas to improve the project and as a result it feels more like a partnership that a contractor relationship.As a result of his quality we've moved from a small job to over $15K of work."

"My husband and I were off during the holidays and we His & Hers Mulit-Service. Veronica and Mike came the same day to meet us, understand our expectations/needs and view our home. They were very timely and gave us a quote later that day. When we accepted, they further accommodated us by coming the next day at noon, the time that worked best for us. We were pleasantly surprised and extremely happy with the job they performed. We have used others in the past and I have had to "re-do" or finish after they left because it was not satisfactory. I did NOT have to do that with His & Her service. They cleaned as Veronica said they would, "from the top to the bottom". When my husband and I inspected after they left, we were so surprised to see even the areas we felt would logically be missed, were clean! Doors, both sides were clean, baseboards, light fixtures all through out the house were spotless (and we have a large number of glass globe light fixtures). Even pictures and mirrors looked brand new. Our large master shower shined from ceiling to the floor. The wooden floors looked perfect as did the carpets and tile. Veronica, Mike and the crew the brought were very friendly, neat and professional. I will be using them again. They are a pleasure to work with and take pride in the job done and their business. She told me she would clean our home like it was her own, and that she did!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

You should always use caulk instead of grout where the tile meets the wall. This will help your tile installation look great and last a long time. When you accidentally use grout for the corner seams, you end up making the tiles too rigid. So as the wall shifts over time, your tiles have no wiggle room. This can lead to tile damage, which will eventually require you to do at least a partial reinstallation.

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.

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). 

You can let the tile sit without grout. Don’t panic if there’s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting. 

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.
