"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 at SuperFloorStore was able to beat a competitor's pricing on some flooring we needed to have installed. While we didn't expect to have them install so quickly, Dennis was able to get it installed just days after the order was placed. I will definitely call on SFS for our future jobs."
"Javier, Karina, and their team have been wonderful to work with. They remodeled our kitchen, including adding new cabinet doors, backsplash, and countertops, as well as painting and installing a farm sink. They were very communicative, timely, and helpful, and we will hire them again to help with a few other projects weâ d like to complete, including updating our bathrooms."
"Ezequiel and his guys did an incredible job! Communicative, quick, and always on time. We noticed that the pattern on the tile work was incorrect in a few spots after they had finished and been paid. He came back and fixed it with no questions or complaints. Looks absolutely perfect. I would definitely use this company again!"
"The 3 day process went seamlessly from the purchasing process through out the installation. The entire team was very professional. The installers were very conscientious about respecting the space they were working in, protecting areas with drop cloths for floors or counters depending where they were working. I was also very impressed with their cleanup after each installation. Great work!"
"Handy Hunks restained and sealed our front door inside and out! Amazing! They cleaned and painted our wrought iron rails using industrial paint - they look brand new! They installed new door hardware, fixed bath faucet and hung several wall decor items. The guys were prepared, punctual, cleaned up after well and everything is awesome! Highly recommend Handy Hunks! Great service for a great price!"
"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."
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Uniform spacing between tiles is important for a professional and clean appearance. To achieve this spacing, tile spacers should be placed between the tiles and left in place until the mortar hardens and the tiles are secure. You can use X-shaped spacers vertically in between the tiles and laid flat at the corners.
Flooring transition strips can be secured to the subfloor using glue, nails, or screws. For a more secure installation, especially in high-traffic areas, using screws or nails is recommended as it reduces the risk of slippage. However, if aesthetic appeal is a priority, glue provides a cleaner, more seamless finish without any visible holes or screw heads.
When considering the types of grout for your project, unsanded grout is the best choice for penny tile. Unsanded grout can fit better into narrow spaces, like those between the small penny tiles, and it’s easier to smooth out for a seamless finish. However, if you’re unsure, check with a tile installation pro to determine which grout is best for your specific project.
Different types of tile cutters may work best depending on the type of tile you are cutting and the size of your project. There are two main types of tile cutters: manual and electric. Manual tile cutters are quick and easy to use for small projects and softer tile materials, but they can only make straight cuts. Electric tile cutters make light work of big projects and can cut through harder materials.
Yes, it would be best if you waterproofed your shower walls before tiling. The cement backing board behind the tile is not waterproof; it’s only water-resistant. On top of your tile backing board, be sure to use a waterproof shower membrane before you start installing your shower tiles.
