"Fantastic! Mario was very quick to come and give an estimate. He and his guys scheduled the backsplash installation promptly and they finished in 2 days. Superb attention to detail. Definitely recommend and will/would hire again."
"These guys did a great job. The tiles in my kitchen had popped up, but I had 18 extra tiles to use. The tile guys were able to save all the unbroken tiles so I still have 15 of my extra tiles left for the next time. They did a great job."
"Cathleen and Dennis owners of Super store floor and Remodeling are amazing. Their crews work with perfection. Their crew made an awesome picturesque backsplash in our kitchen. They redid four fabulous divider facings to match our beautiful fireplace flooring. They truly provided fantastic service. Their remodeling store has so much to chose from. My husband and I get many compliments on our flooring. We highly and strongly recommend Cathleen and Dennis to family and friends for superb flooring and remodeling."
"Houston Custom Carpets did an excellent job with our remodel of two bathrooms and all the upstairs flooring. Matt was extremely helpful with insights about tile and carpeting and offered suggestions and options while paying close attention to what we wanted in each space. Once the job started, Cindy and Randy at the warehouse were meticulous about keeping us appraised of scheduling and making sure that everything went smoothly. The crews that came out were highly skilled and professional and did a great job with all the work. The photo shows before (on the left) and after (on the right) of one of our bathrooms."
"Mathew Pinkard was very easy to work with during our fireplace remodel. He demo'd the old marble, raised the hearth 4 inches and retiled with Mexican tile we ordered online. The whole project took two days and was completed on time and on budget. Mat was easy to communicate with and we hope to use him in the future on other remodel projects."
"Edgardo Alonzo Ruiz and team did an outstanding job at installing tile and hardwood flooring in a 3000 sq. ft. area. Edgardo is very knowledgeable and professional. Cost for installation was competitive. We would definitely recommend Ruiz Flooring and use his services again."
"Markanthony and his father were a pleasure to work with! The team was honest, professional and provided quality work. We had a room added that included the installation of a brand new wall and French doors. We also had our floors completely redone. It is as if the addition had been there all along. It looks exactly how I pictured it. Markanthony has a great eye for layout and design. We would definitely hire them again for any project."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
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.
When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.
On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.
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.
On average, tiling a shower costs between $1,800 and $5,000, with most people paying around $2,700. The price of this project depends on multiple factors, including the kind of tile you choose, the size of your shower, and labor rates in your area. If you decide to tile your own shower (instead of hiring a professional), it’ll likely cost $800 to $1,400.
On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.
