"Andrii did an excellent job removing tile, laminates and carpet before installing a new laminate floor. He is neat and clean and always punctual and hardworking. He went the extra mile by picking up the flooring materials for us without an additional charge. The finished product showed quality Workmanship. I would recommend Andrii for any flooring project."

"Ivan and his crew were very professional and hard working. Also very kind and friendly. This team was great at communicating and brought a botched shower back from the dead. The subway tile that they installed looks amazing. They fit our project in quickly and were very considerate and clean during the installation and removal of old shower material. Their project estimate was very accurate and reasonable. I would hire Ivan and his crew again in a second."

"Andrea and her team did a phenomenal job. Great communication throughout the process. She did a second site visit to ensure that the carpet I selected was what we wanted, and even conducted a final check in after installation to ensure satisfaction. We highly recommend for your flooring project."

"Had Empire install wood, carpet and tile in my house. The installers for the wood flooring were great. I need them to break it up over 2 weekends and they were very accommodating. These guys did a great job on the floor and made sure that all was cleaned up when they finished. The tile installer was phenomenal. He was very helpful with the pattern my wife wanted. The floor looks amazing. They did a good job installing the carpet but, I have never had an installer take all the remnants and scraps. If I ever needed a piece for a patch, I’m out of luck. All in all, they did a good job."

"I had them tile the floor and shower and they were fantastic. They responded to my requests very quickly, and patiently answered all of my questions (there were many). They quoted 3 days and finished it on time. I was so impressed with their work that I already asked for a quote for my other bathroom and have recommended them to other people."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward. 

Most professional shower tile installations take between six and eight hours, depending on the size and complexity. Most projects get completed in a single workday. DIY-ing the project takes around three to four days or roughly 16 hours. However, this will vary based on the skill level of the person completing the work.

A cement backer board is not needed for laying tile on concrete. Sometimes referred to as a cementitious backer unit, or CBU, backer board should be used if the subfloor is plywood or OSB. The backer board provides a base on which to install the tiles that isn’t as likely to be damaged by any accidental water seepage as natural materials would be.

It’s best to start with tiling the shower floor before moving on to the walls for the most visually-pleasing results. When taking on any tiling project, you’ll want the wall tiles to “sit” neatly on the floor tiles rather than overlapping them. Finishing your floor tiles first will allow you to place your wall tiles without any gaps, holes, or awkward intersections.
