"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."

"Amazing experience with Tile2 from start to finish on our kitchen backsplash, The communication and execution were both 10/10. We are so impressed with the job they did, and would hire them again for any future tile needs. We've done a lot of work on our house and this was by far the best experience we've had. Would definitely recommend Tile2!"

"We had a great experience working with Senti Tiles. Unbeknownst to us we chose a very difficult tile to install. He did a beautiful, meticulous job placing every tiny tile perfectly. He protected all surfaces and cleaned up as if he had never been there. He consulted us on all the decision points and shared his expertise freely. We highly recommend Senti Tiles."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

When choosing between porcelain and ceramic tile, the best option depends on your specific needs, budget, and project application. Porcelain tile is generally more durable, denser, and harder than ceramic, making it a good choice for busy, high-traffic areas. It also offers superior moisture resistance, making it ideal for moisture-retaining spaces. However, porcelain is typically more expensive, and its hardness can make it brittle, potentially causing it to crack if a heavy object is dropped on it. In contrast, ceramic tile is a more budget-friendly option with lower material and installation costs. It is softer and easier to work with, making it a great choice for DIY projects. While not as durable as porcelain, ceramic is still a quality material suitable for many home applications, particularly small, decorative projects.

Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.

When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.

On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.

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.

No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.
