"Brett and his team were great to work with. We did a large tile job (wood look tile) and it turned out amazing! His team answered all of our questions and did a professional job. They were quick but also took the time to make sure everything was done properly. Competitive pricing and easy to get ahold of."

"It was over Christmas time so it took a long time for them to get out. I didn't feel like he gave me much of their ideas. My kitchen doesn't work for me and I gave them a picture of what I wanted. I didn't feel like they met that. They fell short of my expectations. It didn't cost more. They measured and looked around. The drawings that they gave me weren't significantly different than what I have. I think it was a good price. It would go towards the price if I did the work. They know what they are doing."

"They seem to know what they’re doing and they are just straight up about things.  We are gathering information to provide them like cabinet sizes and countertop material.  They can’t submit the bid until we have all that other stuff gathered up and we can tell them what they want in the way of appliances, countertops, and cabinets."

"We discussed designs for our family room. She was easy to work with and everything was done through email. We sent Jill details about the room and photos. She understood things well, sent us back ideas and a few room plans. We didn’t use her ideas but they were valuable for us for other perspectives. The deal was exactly what we expected."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Technically, you can start tiling in a corner and work your way out. However, it's not traditionally how tiling is done. Instead, work from the bottom middle of the wall. Tile out the entire row with whole tiles before moving on to the next row. Once you finish installing all of the whole tiles, then you focus on tiling the corners.

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

The lifespan of bathroom tile can be 50 years or more, depending on proper installation and regular maintenance. A well-done tile job, whether it's a new installation or a retiling project, can last for many decades. To lengthen the life of your tile, it's best to have it installed by a professional and to perform regular maintenance. This includes routine cleaning, resealing, and regrouting as needed. With proper care, you can expect your tile to last 10 years or more before needing major repairs or retiling, especially in high-traffic areas where tiles can wear out more quickly.

There are a few different tools you can use to score tiles. Manual tile cutters or tile scribes work well for scoring in straight lines. Tile nippers are one of the best options for scoring because they can make small and irregular cuts that larger tools may not be able to handle.

While you shouldn’t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.
