He was honest, polite, forthright, accurate and his craftsmanship skills are excellent! I am very satisfied with how it turned out and I would recommend anyone in the area looking for some professional help on those tougher home renovation projects!"

"Yuriy did a beautiful job tiling my new kitchen backsplash and entry way, as well as large bathroom remodels â showers (one with a bench), floor to ceiling tile, and wainscoting. His work is superb and his input on design details was invaluable. Fair, honest, friendly, talented, hard-working â would 100% recommend him."

"Vanderlip Construction brought our ideas and vision to a reality on a master and guest bathroom remodel in our 1961 rambler. Eric is both an organized contractor and an experienced craftsman. He is a thoughtful and very responsive communicator who we could always count on to perform the tasks he scheduled throughout our project. He brought in very skilled team of subcontractors who he made sure didn’t disrupt our home life and office work activities. Eric was generous with sharing his expertise and insights that helped us make decisions on key details. We had about an 80 percent design and selected all the tile, fixtures, and custom cabinets but Eric’s attention to detail brought it all together, especially on our counters and master bath shower. Always patient and friendly, he wanted to make sure we were satisfied with the progression and the outcomes. He’s also committed to backing up his work. I suffered a serious leg injury after the remodel and Eric kindly went the extra step to come to our house and install a new light fixture in our bedroom. He scored an A+ on both bathrooms and we made a new friend."

"Previous homeowners had DIY installed pebble shower floor. Pebbles started coming loose and there were cracks in the grout. Hadrian helped us assess the best replacement for the pebble floor. We settled on tile since it is a custom size shower and couldn't find a shower pan that would fit. He also replaced the liner and fixed concrete below to ensure we didn't have any other issues. All this while preserving as much of the tavertine shower wall as possible. He did a great job matching our current colors, tavertine tiles that need to be replaced, and grouting."

"Alfa Tile and Stone helped us with our master bath remodel. They installed Wedi and tiled a full shower (floor to ceiling) and the floor. The guys were very detailed, patient with our questions and were very respectful of our property. They took time to do it right, everything was plum and sloped properly. We would absolutely hire them again!"

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.

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.

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.

You have creative freedom when it comes to your tile trim. If, however, you are considering skipping tile trim, please think twice about that. It is good practice to install tile trim, whether on walls or flooring. Think, too, about the aesthetic you are going for and choose a trim type and color that will help enhance the space.

You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.
