"Very well. Bob and his crew were excellent. They reinforced the joists, replaced the decking with Trex and installed decorative screen panels on the bottom of the balconies. Their work was excellent and very precise. They always were prompt, friendly and cleaned up thoroughly each day. My only negative was that they weren't here every day for work. What should have taken 2 weeks took a month because sometimes they were only here a day or 2 a week (some can be blamed on weather, but some wasn't). But overall we are very happy and would hire Bob again without hesitation."

You can install new tile over an existing backsplash, but pros recommend taking the old material down first. Layering tile creates a gap where moisture can collect and makes it harder for the new adhesive to bond. Removing the original backsplash gives you a flat, clean surface, prevents interference with outlets or countertop space, and helps the finished project last longer.
To prepare a painted wall for tile, fill any cracks or holes in the existing paint. Use sandpaper to create an even, slightly rough surface for ideal adhesion. Next, gently wipe the wall with a damp cloth to remove dust, grease, or debris. Finally, apply a bonding primer before attaching the tile.
Gluing a backsplash is an effective installation method when you use the correct adhesive. Use cement-based or thin-set mortar along with mastic as needed to secure ceramic tiles. This method provides a strong, durable bond and is ideal for glass and stone installations when surfaces are properly cleaned and prepared. Adhering tiles with the proper adhesive ensures a robust and long-lasting finish.
Measuring your backsplash area is essential to determine the exact amount of tile needed. Begin by measuring the height and width of the backsplash in feet, then multiply these dimensions to calculate the total square footage. Do not adjust for small outlets or minor cutouts; only subtract the space occupied by large windows or significant obstructions. Finally, add 10% extra to account for waste, ensuring you order the precise quantity required.
