"Tony is a great guy and very meticulous. He did a full walk in shower and pan in ceramic tile including floor. We also had him do our kitchen backsplash. Been tiling 30 years, and knows what he’s doing. I would highly recommend."

"Tony did an amazing job on my tile install for the bathroom I am renovating. I am an Interior Designer and have uses different tile masons. Tony is efficient, clean on the job, and is a problem solver which is great when you run into snafo's like a bowed wall. With some minor adjustments to the mortar he was able to make the wall look level event though it was not. I would definitely hire Tony again."

"LEN WAS VERY PROMPT IN COMING OUT AND GIVING US AN ESTIMATE AND ANSWERED ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS. WHEN THE JOB WAS STARTED THEY DISCOVERED MORE WORK WAS NECESSARY THAN ORIGINALLY PLANNED. HOWEVER, THEY STUCK TO THEIR ORIGINAL PROPOSAL. HE WAS THERE WITH THE CREW AND THEY WERE NEAT AND PROFESSIONAL. THE WORK TOOK LONGER THAN PLANNED, BUT THEY COMPLETED IT QUICKLY THE FOLLOWING DAY. THEY DID A GREAT JOB OF CLEANING UP WHEN THE WORK WAS COMPLETED."

"Prompt, reliable service. Owner was easy to work with and foreman with his colleague were courteous and efficient. Since it was a nice day, my windows were open and I could hear their conversations and problem solving...this was all done very professionally. Before they left they cleaned up the area (spotless) and provided recommendations for keeping the gutters clean. Do not hesitate to hire this company."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s possible to walk on a clay tile roof, but you run the risk of breaking or cracking the tiles if you’re not careful, so it’s best not to walk on it if you can avoid it. If you or a contractor needs roof access, be sure to distribute your weight evenly and step on the portions of tile that are also supported underneath, which depends on your tile design. Walking on any roofing material is inherently dangerous, so wear rubber-soled shoes and use safety equipment if you need to access your roof.

You should always use caulk instead of grout where the tile meets the wall. This will help your tile installation look great and last a long time. When you accidentally use grout for the corner seams, you end up making the tiles too rigid. So as the wall shifts over time, your tiles have no wiggle room. This can lead to tile damage, which will eventually require you to do at least a partial reinstallation.

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 installation can be expensive because it requires more time and labor to install than many other materials. For example, laminate flooring can click and lock into place, and carpet comes in large rolls that you can secure to the floor. On the other hand, tiles need to be cut, laid individually, grouted, and left to cure.
