"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!"

"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 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."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.

No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.

If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.

Installing kitchen countertop tiles on a mold and moisture-resistant cement backer board is one of the best options. When fitted correctly on top of a plywood base, it’s stable and long-lasting. Old-fashioned cement board is economical, cuts neatly and easily with a circular or jigsaw, and screws into plywood without any difficulty.

In some cases, granite tiles can be installed over existing flooring if the surface is level, stable, and free of moisture issues. However, removing old flooring is often recommended to ensure a secure and long-lasting installation, as well as to avoid height differences at thresholds. Consult with your flooring pro to determine the best approach based on your specific situation.
