"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 people that did the removal of the existing tile floor and installed the new laminate flooring in our kitchen damaged the dishwasher door and did nothing to contain the tremendous amount of dust that was generated while removing the tile floor which resulted in three rooms, half bath , and foyer were covered in dust. However, the new floor looks great."

"Mr. Mike and his crew were very knowledgeable and experienced with the level of craftsmanship they've performed in my bathroom. We were extremely pleased with the design suggestions and were able to quickly make an informed decision on our tile pattern. His knowledge base on materials also assisted us with making a quick determination as to which products to purchase. Additionally, he identified subpar work and faulty material used by our previous contractor (3-D Unlimited). He gave us the true level of craftmanship that a LICENSED Contractor should have and was missing from the other contractor! His crew always remained professional while instilling a certain sense of pride when performing their work and the results were remarkable. I truly will be hiring Big Mike's Construction again for additional work needed on my home."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Installing kitchen countertop tiles on a mold and moisture-resistant cement backer board is one of the best options. When fitted correctly on top of a plywood base, it’s stable and long-lasting. Old-fashioned cement board is economical, cuts neatly and easily with a circular or jigsaw, and screws into plywood without any difficulty.

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. 

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. 

The number of boxes of tile you need depends entirely on the amount of tile in each box or case. Different manufacturers package their tiles differently, and boxes contain different amounts of tile depending on the size, shape, and material. Often, the amount of area that a case will cover is listed in the product description. To calculate the number of boxes you need, take the total square feet of the space and divide it by the number of square feet the box will cover.

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.
