"This was the third time we have hired Val from Irish Accents and Renovations. The first time we hired Val was for a master bath downstairs, this time he did a renovation of one of our upstairs baths. He was originally recommended to us by friends at work. When we hired him the first time, we did our due diligence: got multiple reviews, checked references, etc. Now he is our go to guy for work. He is versatile, has an eye for detail and has high standards for his work. He is personable, responsive and welcomes discussion and collaboration. With this remodel, he demo'd the tile floor, portions of drywall and wainscoting and removed the vanity and fixtures. He opened a wall to inspect the plumbing, and removed the entry door. He installed a new tile floor over a waterproof underlayment (Schluter system), installed a new vanity, wainscoting and trim and reinstalled fixtures. Additionally he installed a new pocket door to ease entry to the bathroom. This required a consult with a structural engineer and at his direction the construction of a box header in the attic above the door, which Val completed without difficulty. He also completed some electrical work required by the pocket door and installed a new outlet, replaced the bathroom vent fan, installed new exhaust vent piping and painted the entire room, including ceiling. He is honest and provides cost estimates based on labor and advises on finishes while keeping your costs in mind. As I mentioned, this is the third time we have hired Val. At our recommendation he also did a major renovation of our neighbors master bath. Finally, Val is on site and does much if not all of the work himself. Val will be our first and only call when we consider future projects."

"James came to my home to give me an estimate for my kitchen backsplash project, the time spent was very informative. He shared with me what materials would be needed for my project, confirmed where I could purchase them and answered my many questions. Tammy then scheduled my project within a two week period. During that time, she also answered my questions and assured me my backsplash, once completed, would look beautiful. John and Vito were the installers and arrived as scheduled. Actually, Tammy phoned and asked if I was available earlier than originally scheduled since the installers completed another project earlier than expected. John and Vito were very professional: they were respectful to me and my husband and of our home; they were very clean and courteous young men; they were knowledgeable about their craft and they thoroughly cleaned the work area when they completed the project. My husband and I are very pleased we hired Patriot Flooring to install our kitchen backsplash. Tammy was right, our kitchen backsplash is "beautiful!" Thank you James, Tammy, John and Vito!"

"The installers were prompt and knowledgeable about the project (converting an old tub & tile shower to a new glass-door unit). They kept us apprised of progress as they went and the condition of our wall space. They (Brian and Lamar) were very personable and cleaned up after the project was completed (in a difficult, small area of the house). This was a very positive experience for us. Would gladly rehire them for other projects."

"

I purchased an Angie's deal for $ 349.00 for a tiled backsplash for a kitchen or tile a bathroom floor up to 40 sq. ft. Deal was suppose to include all labor & supplies. I chose to have a small kitchen backsplash tiled. First of all, Alex and his assistant were very professional and punctual. He contacted me right away with photos of past jobs and when he first appeared to see what needed to be done, he wore booties and used drop cloths so as not to damage the floors. Big plus! The work date was performed as stated and performed in one day! Another big plus!

The only negative comment I had was that when I told Alex what I needed to be done, he stated that he had run out of the tiles that the deal offered, so they would install a tile of my preference at no additional cost. I understood that any decorative tile or trim would be additional.  Alex recommended a 6x6 tile which I felt was too large for the area so I chose a simple 4x4 tile that I had to purchase myself and he said he would reimburse me for. Alex quoted 30 sq. ft but the job actually was 23 sq ft. Not a problem, since I could return the left over tiles for a credit from the store. But when Alex reimbursed me for the tiles purchased, I was disappointed that he only reimbursed me for $21. I found it hard to believe that one decorative tile installed and which I purchased, and 2 trim tiles installed could cost a difference of $40.00.

Overall, I was pleased with the quality of the work performed and the quality of the backsplash. Especially due to the fact, that day was one of the coldest on record and much of the tile cutting was performed outside!

Would I use A-Z Creative contractors again, Yes but maybe not buy a Angie's deal that states it includes supplies.

"How did it go? Most Excellently! 1. Responsiveness and communication – our initial inquiry got a response within a day. Throughout the renovation, communication was excellent, and there was always someone onsite who was in charge of the day. Everyone was open to our questions, suggestions, comments and new ideas, which allowed changes during the process which turned out to be great. 2. Design & materials selections –We met with the contractor's designer a few times to begin planning, talk budget, and explain our expectations, wants and needs. Next we met with the contractor who had additional suggestions and ideas which turned out saving us a bit of money. They were very familiar with the materials, supplies and various brands, and made recommendations based on what we wanted. Selection of materials was a fun process, looking at some in their office, or shopping for what was needed. 3. Quality & Punctuality - very good workmanship and attention to details such as with the various moldings and trim painting, and with tile work and grouting. They showed up when they said they would. 4. Project scope - The project included kitchen renovation, master bath and second bath renovations with floor plan changes, opening up the main floor plan, entire interior house painting, new floors throughout, and a few window and both exterior and interior door changes. We already had a lot of custom molding and trim work, and they were able to preserve it, or copy where needed to keep the same look through the house. 5. Professionalism – Everyone was always great. They were respectful to us, and our property. 6. Overall - We were pleased with every member of the team who worked on our project including the Tidewater Pro Build team, their electrician, and all the other subcontractors such as the masons, plasterers, and plumbers. From start to time of completion, a 12 week period was planned. It was extended only by three more days due to unexpected issues which were addressed to our great satisfaction. We lived in the house during the renovations which they planned in stages so we always had a working bathroom and shower, and bedroom, and made sure we stayed as comfortable as possible during the project. 7. We are very satisfied with the price we paid, and know it will greatly add value to our home. We’ve received many compliments on the work and recommend them highly. Trey and Caleb were a pleasure to work with, as was their entire team."

"I was surprised at how much work it takes to remove old original doors and install new ones. Robbie did an excellent job of detailing what he needed to do to reframe the doorways to fit the new doors to make a solid and tight close. He also painted the doors. Now that it is complete, it makes our garage look pretty - - imagine that! Robbie also installed a new toilet and determined cause of leak for the old one after having two other plumbing companies come out and be unable to resolve the issue over the last 5 years, leading us to not use the toilet. 24 hours later, no leaking and we have a working toilet. He beat the quotes we got from other contractors, stayed in communication, and showed up on time; a rarity in the world of contractors. Thank you!"

"We had a fantastic experience with Jason. He was incredibly professional, responsive, punctual, and his work was amazing. We had him cut our butcher block countertops and help us mount a sink for install. He gave us lots of great tips and was very mindful of how much time he spent on our project so we wouldnâ t be burning through money, which is so appreciated!!! We are glad to know him and will definitely be using him again. Couldnâ t recommend enough!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Here’s another instance of where the answer is you could, but that doesn’t mean you should. Yes, part of the issue is getting the drywall to stay in place on the tiles, and it’s understandable that screws will crack the tiles and cause them to crumble. That’s why it’s a much better idea to screw drywall into studs, not your porcelain or ceramic tile. But aside from issues with attaching the drywall, it’s also about ensuring a smooth application without trapping moisture inside.

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.

Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.

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. 

Glass tile is one of the easiest materials to maintain. It is both stain and water-resistant, making it easy to clean and incredibly durable. This also makes it resistant to mold and mildew. However, make sure it’s kept clean, otherwise, your grout might start to degrade. Glass is liable to scratch, so ensure you’re using non-abrasive materials and products, like soft sponges and wipes.
