Local company with over 18 years of experience. Owner onsite for every project from start to finish, making your tile dreams come true is our goal .
"Juan did a complete remodel of one of our baths. It was a half bath and now we added a shower. He was professional, on time, and kept us up to date on the progress. He communicated clearly and if there were any changes along the way he made sure we were aware of what needed to be done and why. He did an excellent job and turned a dull old bath into a sleek/modern luxury bath. The space was small so he helped me realize my vision of what I wanted the bathroom to be. It is now my favorite bathroom in the house. I highly recommend Juan! I will definitely be working with him in future home projects. Thank you!"

Founded in 1989 by Dean Henninger, D.W. Henninger Construction has been recognized as a leading builder of custom homes and remodeling projects. Acting as a General Contractor, the entire Henninger team is known to exceed client expectations, leading to a steady stream of testimonials and referral clients. Over the past two decades, Henninger has managed projects in California: kitchens, bathrooms, room additions, entire home renovation, even complete construction of homes. Regardless of scope, Henninger approaches each project with the same foundation of principals: strong design aesthetics, comprehensive product options, sound project management, and a commitment to craftsmanship. Design Aesthetics: With 20+ years of Bay Area experience, Henninger understands the many architectural quirks unique to Bay Area communities, making it easy to elaborate and integrate with established design aesthetics. Product Options: Henninger is truly unique in being a single-source stop for design, remodeling, and product resources.

Project Management: Project management is essential to delivering a good customer experience. Henninger prioritizes project management to the same degree as design and crafting. Henninger is unique in using progress billing — a system that only charges for services following completion rather than pre-paying weeks or months before it starts. Craftsmanship: Henninger’s team of carpenters bring the best combination of experience and expertise to the table, but they offer much more than technical proficiency — by working with true craftsmen, Henninger projects balance design and functionality for maximum results on each and every project, regardless of scope. Our service areas: Oakland, Pleasanton, Livermore, Walnut Creek, Fremont, and surrounding cities. Projects in San Francisco and San Jose are also feasible — contact us for more information.

The installation timeline varies based on project complexity, size, and whether you're removing existing materials. Simple tile installations generally progress more quickly than slab applications, which require precise measurements and custom fabrication. Your contractor should provide a specific timeline estimate based on your project's unique requirements and specifications.
Marble is naturally porous and benefits from regular sealing to protect against stains and moisture. While specific recommendations vary by product and usage conditions, consulting with your installer about appropriate sealing schedules for your particular installation will help maintain your backsplash's appearance and integrity over time.
Marble backsplashes command premium pricing compared to ceramic or porcelain alternatives but offer distinctive natural patterning that manufactured materials cannot replicate. They potentially enhance resale appeal for luxury properties, though they require more careful maintenance than some alternatives. For homeowners prioritizing unique aesthetics and willing to commit to proper care, marble often justifies its higher cost.
Working with marble presents significant challenges for DIY installation, particularly for slab applications. As the reference guide notes, "Working with marble is not an easy or recommended task. If you want to cut and install a slab backsplash, this DIY is a no-go." Even tile installations require specialized tools and techniques to prevent damage to this premium material. Most homeowners find professional installation provides better results and may ultimately prove more economical.
