"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."

We found them to be very trust worthy. I highly recommend Turcios Tile and will certainly call them back when I am in need of their service. Thank you again Wilfredo. Peter Dussling and Wilma Flanakin"
"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."
"Houston Sunny Remodel did a wonderful remodel on my kitchen. The experience was more than I expected. They had visions and ideas that added to the kitchen that I had no clue about. Fabian and his workers are men of their words. When things were amidst they made it work every time just as he said he would. The price was right for the job. I would definitely be calling again as he is my go to guy! Sincerely Laquetta Russell"
"Mark Anthony and his team did an “Amazing” job in fixing our home after a Water Damage issue! He did an “Incredible” job installing our flooring, baseboards, tile in front of the fireplace, reinforcing our subfloor with birchwood as well as installing our floors throughout my office, bathroom, closet dining room, living room and kitchen. We will be using Mark Anthony and his team again later this year when we paint the exterior of our home! We would highly recommend his team due to their professionalism and communication through the project. Very kind team! 🤩
Thank You Mark Anthony!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface.
There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they’re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn’t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn’t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.
Grout lines should typically be between 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick. This ensures enough room for the grout to dry properly and makes them wide enough to look clean and professional. If grout lines are too small, it can be easier to see imperfections in the spacing.
Solvents dissolve tile adhesive, but the right solvent for the job depends on what type of adhesive you are trying to remove. For instance, dispersion adhesive requires stronger removers, like bile soap or even paint stripper, but some adhesives, like cement-based products, can come off with water and soap or mortar remover.
Like any painted surface, tile paint can peel and chip over time. However, tile paint can become especially susceptible to peeling during periods of high humidity. Other sources of excess moisture will also cause tile paint to peel faster than normal. And if the tiles are in a high-traffic area, like the entryway floor, tile paint will chip and peel faster.
