Resurface Cultured Marble Surfaces

Joe Papa and his son John, owners of New Surface Technology, were highly recommended to me by Home Advisor.  After trying the yellow pages with absolutely no luck I called Home Advisor.  They connected me to New Surface Technology.   Mr. Papa called back immediately and came out the next day to make a bid.  He explained how he would resurface our Cultured Marble surfaces in our bathrooms including sinks, cabinet tops, bathtub and walls around them and still be able to see the marbling of the original surface.  We were having new faucets installed in our bathrooms and since it had been 28 years since they were put in, the surface around the existing faucets had stained and the new faucets would not fit the same shape to cover the stains.  Joe Papa and his son worked with our plumber and made the counters and walls look almost new.  They worked hard and diligently making sure we were satisfied and reworked any spots they were not happy with also.   The surface looks great and there are no stains around the new fixtures.  My wife and I could not be more pleased.  I highly recommend New Surface Technology.

"Sam is kind, careful, attentive, skilled and responsive. In addition to being a very good contractor, he was very kind to my elderly mother when Dad died in the middle of the project. He gave her advice, helped her with choices, and worked hard to improve the safety of her home. He also was conscientious with costs, and communicated well regarding the budget and progress of the project. Sam handled everything associated with the master bath remodel, including plumbing, tile work, electrical and ADA issues. He calls himself a handyman, but is much more than that."

"It was all right; we didn’t really get anything worthwhile out of it.  She was pleasant to work with, it is just what she advertised versus what we got was way out.  There was nothing really robust about it.  She was polite and pleasant to talk to and what not but her work wasn’t that great. "

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Terracotta tile is a broad term for clay tile that’s been fired in a kiln, and Saltillo tile is a specific type of terracotta tile produced in Saltillo, Mexico. In addition to Saltillo, terracotta tile comes in a range of other shades and styles. You’ll often find it used in buildings throughout Mexico, southern Europe, and the western United States.

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.

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.

Yes, provided you aren’t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.

It’s important to leave a gap in the corner when tiling to allow room for tile expansion. Leaving between one eighth of an inch to one tenth of an inch is enough space.
