My name is Aaron Nesbitt, 43yr old Army Veteran, turned contractor. My first experience doing construction was in 5th grade, helping my father build a barn for our horses in Arkansas. After working for construction companies from Colorado, to Louisiana after the hurricanes, I’ve learned there is a lack of craftsmanship in our industry. My goal is to change that one project at a time. Our mission is to exceed your expectations by delivering clean, quality craftsmanship that goes beyond your imagination. I hope you’ll give us the opportunity to make your vision, a reality.

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Tile countertops can be an excellent and budget-friendly option for a kitchen, provided they are installed correctly. It's important to choose tiles, such as ceramic, that are heat-, water-, and scratch-resistant. When the grout is properly sealed, it will resist stains, making the surface easy to clean. Tile is also considered a sustainable material. For a cohesive kitchen design and added protection, you can pair a tile countertop with a matching tile backsplash.
Glass tile can cost as much as or more than other durable tile types. When choosing the right tile for you, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of each can help you make an informed decision. The pros and cons of glass tile include:
Pros
Light-reflecting to add brightness
Waterproof and mold-resistant
Made from recyclable materials
Cons
High cost compared to similar and more durable materials
Usually requires professional installation
More easily scratched compared to materials like ceramic and porcelain
Tile—specifically smaller, mosaic-style tiles—is the best type of flooring for building a walk-in shower base. Shower pans come with a threshold and sidewalls to contain the water, but tile can be set into the shower base. This creates a walk-in shower floor that gently slopes toward the drain to keep water from getting out and into the rest of the bathroom.
Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.
The tile trim you use will depend on a few factors, including design preferences, budget, and whether the project is DIY or not. You might choose plastic trim if you want an easier DIY job that is more budget-friendly. There are also more color options available in plastic. On the other hand, you might choose metal to match your fixtures or for areas with heavy use.
