Default Tile job (backsplash)

We have a need for a tile installer for a kitchen backsplash. We are having trouble even getting people to call us back. Any recomendations?

Thanks in advance

We have contracted with William (Billy) Parker, who has a number of very positive reviews on older threads. He hasn't done the job yet (early next week) but we were impressed by his punctuality in getting to us to do an estimate and in his knowledge. His phone is 352-347-0954. We bought our tiles at Lowe's and he is doing the work and for a LOT less than the Lowe's contractor estimated.

We also had Billy do our backsplash and counter and we were thrilled with his work. We used him based on our neighbors recommendation and we also had another neighbor use him after us on our rec. and we're all happy campers. 352-347-0954

I have done tile backsplashes in my home in Connecticut and in TV along with installing tile in my bathrooms and hallways and the job is not difficult at all. Home Depot has a quick lesson that they run in their stores from time to time if you want to go there and see first hand what is involved.

George, I agree, it is one of the easiest DIY projects anyone can tackle.
