"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."

"Extremely high-quality work. Sorini is a true professional. We loved his attention to detail and precision. All of recommendations were excellent. Our kitchen looks outstanding thanks to his fantastic work on the backsplash. Both the tile cutting and grouting were perfect. I would hire him again in an instant!"

"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

Yes, provided you aren’t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.

Your tiles will have a significant visual impact on your bathroom, so you’ll want to make a thoughtful decision. Once you land on the tile material that suits your needs and budget, you can consider the color schemes you want. Consider whether you want something modern, classic, or eye-catching.

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.

On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.

Ideally, you should remove tile before installing hardwood floors, but there are good reasons not to. Removing stubborn tile can be a labor-intensive job that adds days to the project. The subfloor beneath the tiles could also be damaged during the process, meaning you’d have to repair the subfloor before installing the new hardwood floor.
