Field notes: Homeowner wanted herringbone but contractor flagged the cabinet outlet locations. We re-sketched the layout so the pattern centered on the range hood instead of the outlets.
FAQs
Do you sell mortar and grout?+
Yes. We carry Mapei and Custom Building Products. We will recommend the right thinset for the substrate, not just the cheapest bag.
Can I install backsplash myself?+
Subway over drywall is a reasonable weekend project. Large-format porcelain on a floor is not. We will tell you which one you are looking at.
Do you carry waterproofing?+
Schluter Kerdi, RedGard, and Laticrete Hydro Ban. For showers and wet walls, do not skip it.
