"Let's add a + to the 5 stars, as Jeramie exceeded my expectations! I first retained Jeramie to do the kitchen backsplash in my almost hundred year old house. The challenge was retaining the existing tile backsplash at the gas range and incorporating some of the same (extra tiles I had saved) with new tiles of a different dimension. Jeramie did an excellent job installing an accent strip of the old tile that tied the whole look together. A couple of months later, I had Jeramie return to repair the original bathroom floor. We had both thought the broken tiles could be replaced, the floor cleaned and re-grouted. After working on a section, it was clear that the very old floor couldn't be salvaged and new tile should be installed. After checking the door clearance, how level the floor was and the placement of the radiator, Jeramie recommended installing new tile on top of the old. He had experience doing this and said it was the most efficient and cost effective way to go. A week later, I was thrilled to see the beautiful new floor which undoubtedly adds value to my home. When it came to fix my fireplace hearth floor, of course I called tried and true Jeramie. This was another challenging project. The original clay tiles at the edge of the hearth were broken. There were chunks missing and the overly thick grout was cracked and loose. Instead of just replacing the border, Jeramie checked the entire hearth and discovered that all the tiles were loose. He ripped everything up, reinstalled the best salvaged tiles with smaller grout lines that lined up with the new mosaic tile border. The border edge was then trimmed with wood that took care of a floor plank that was lifting on one side. In addition to the excellent work that Jeramie performed, he was a pleasure to work with. He communicates well, shows up when he says he will, quotes fairly, listens, problem solves and explains. In a prior life, I worked in an architectural firm, so I have a good sense of design, understand what can and can't be done, and am a stickler regarding details. Like I said at the start, Jeramie exceeded my expectations. I recommend him highly and intend to keep retaining him for future projects!"

"Yuriy (and Nikolai) did a masterful job of installing large-format porcelain tile in my dual-bathroom remodel. He worked closely with my carpenter to determine intricate framing for aspects like a subtly sloped shower floor (to facilitate a zero-threshold shower with linear trench drain), built-in t.p. holder, wall-mounted toilet and more. Yuriy made three different tiles (floor, walls and accent wall) sing. He nailed the grout-lines and gave experienced input so that I didn't make short-sighted, rookie decisions/mistakes. He and Nikolai were a pleasure to see every day (for two weeks!) and were reliable, prompt, long-working and didn't go missing or flake-out like most contractors can do. He recommended a great electrician and let me know that Octagon Construction performs full remodels."

"Yes, the job was well done and on time. We had a problem with the tile and grout in our walk-in shower. He explained what the problems were with the original installation and then cleaned the tile and replaced the grout. He also installed shower bars which will help us from falling in the shower. We highly recommend this gentleman."

"We needed to re-grout our shower. They were a little higher priced than other bids, but had great reviews, so figured was worth the cost. It was. They were quick to schedule, quick to do the work. The work looks great and there was a minor imperfection that I sent them the day after. They were back withing 24 hours to fix it. I recommend."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, unfortunately, it is normal for wall and floor tiles to crack, especially when you drop heavy items on tiled floors or place heavy objects on them. Tiles are also more susceptible to cracking when ceramic tiles designed for walls are installed on floors, as these are often not strong enough to handle heavy loads from foot traffic and furniture. Similarly, tiles that are installed incorrectly, lack adequate subflooring, or have other installation problems are prone to cracking. To avoid these problems and the inevitable repair and replacement costs they bring, always hire a professional for tile work and follow best practices for installation.

Yes, you can use paint if you want to refresh your tile countertops. However, you must be mindful of the type of paint you use. Look for options explicitly created for tile that are also waterproof and durable. Over time, the paint will chip, so this is not considered a long-term solution for busy kitchens.

A quality shower tiling project is a bathroom upgrade that can increase resale value. Bathroom remodels have the highest return on investments for any home update. Tiling a shower won’t offer the potential 70% ROI that a full bathroom remodel involving upgrading fixtures, installing storage, and a complete room retile will. However, you can expect an average return of 55% to 60% for this refresh.

You can often find many types of peel and stick tile at big-box home improvement stores. Other places to shop for this type of material include home decor websites, other types of big-box stores, and even directly from the manufacturer. It’s a good idea to order a tile sample first to see how you like the look and feel before installing it.
