"I was wanting to have a hole in my plaster repaired and repainted so I contacted Investment Painting Contractors.  As I was talking with the contractor I mentioned that I wanted to replace my tub with a tub surround and he said he had a licensed plumber that he could recommend.  I asked for an estimate on time and cost for the project and it was within my budget so I hired them.  Both the plumber and the painter showed up when they said they would and worked hard and long hours. 

The plumber did a nice job with the tub surround.  It was difficult and they ended up having to knock out a wall in the closet adjacent to the bathroom to fit the surround into the bathroom.  The plumber said it was the worst surround he has put in during his 20 year career.  The repaired drywall is perfect around the tub surround. 
The painter does an excellent job painting.  He is very meticulous and takes the time to do the job right.  I love the way my bathroom turned out . . . perfect.  My daughter's room was also painted and she wanted a chalkboard wall on one wall.  She is also very pleased with the work.  You cannot even see where the ceiling had to be repaired.  Excellent work.  The painter has an excellent eye for color and gently recommended the best options for making the rooms look their best.  I am so happy with the way everything turned out. 
The plumber and the painters were very personable and honest about the work that they were doing.  Both were very polite, as well."

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

For professional labor and materials, it would cost between $6,000 and $28,000 to install 1,000 square feet of Saltillo tile flooring. If that’s out of your budget, you could consider laying the tiles yourself or choosing a less expensive type of flooring. For example, vinyl flooring costs just $2 to $7 per square foot, so for a 1,000-square-foot space, you’d pay $2,000 to $7,000.

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.

If you’re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you’ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set.

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.

It’s not necessarily normal for tiles to lift, although it’s one of the common issues people may have with their tile flooring. Tiles correctly installed by pros with expansion joints should not lift over time. However, if the installation was done poorly, you might see tiles tenting or lifting as the house settles. This is more common in high-moisture areas with extreme temperatures.
