"We are doing some remodeling on our kitchen. We did everything except the backsplash. We finally found the tiles we wanted (4" hexagons) and we tried lowes but if we didn't buy the tiles there, they wouldn't do it. (Lowe's also didn't have these tiles!). We came to angi and we found zvision remodeling and Eddy was the person who came to install our beautiful backsplash. He was at our house for 4 days. (He came in over the weekend, too). He took his time and did a great job! Highly recommend! Thank you, Eddy!!!"

"Ronal works with his little brother, wife, and another bud. All are very nice and respectful of your home. We had a custom shower install 10 yrs ago, but after excessive use by the whole family (4 of us every day...) and a still-settling house, it developed a leak in the lower shower corner. We only needed the lower 18" of tile wall to be replaced (it's still available), a new shower pan and floor, structure inspected and repaired if needed, and we added a new bathroom floor and toilet to the job. No plumbing, electrical, or cabinetry were needed as it was all still kinda fancy and in great shape. Ronal was the only response out of about 10 from Angi's list that would agree to do this partial bathroom repair/remodel. ALL THE OTHERS offering estimates demanded to do a full gut and replacement. His attention to detail is excellent, and the grout colors and gaps match perfectly. We are having him back for our downstairs bathroom and are recommending him to any others needed tile-based home improvement. 10 out of 5 stars!"

"Our sliding glass door was barely sliding – dragging would have been a more accurate word for it. Moses diagnosed the problem as more than just the need for new rollers, showed us where the track was excessively worn, obtained what was needed to repair the track rather than trying to replace it, and now our door rolls smoothly again. We are very pleased."

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.
