Glass Tile Backsplash Options For An Elegant Kitchen

Posts Tagged ‘job’

I have a 110 square foot kitchen and I am planning on remodeling. In a nutshell, this is what I am doing:

Demo of existing cabinets
Tiling of floor including kitchen backsplash
Installation of Ikea Cabinets
Installation of 3 outlets and increase electric to 20 amps
plaster ceiling imperfections
sanding ceiling and exposed walls
installation of microwave and dishwasher

Current contractor wants to do it for 00 and I feel its too much

That’s it in a nutshell. what would a fair quote be for that job in the nyc metro area? Thanks!

My parents had our kitchen entirely remodeled and the total cost was over ,000, but they didn’t get what they paid for. With the original plan it should have been done in a week.The cabinets sat in our garage for over a month and it took them another 2 months to install everything. First they cut the cabinets to short, then the electrician had to come back 3 times because he didn’t do his job right. Now the cabinets are raised up on blocks of wood. The counter top had to be ripped off, which makes its integrity now questionable. And the backsplash was cut incorrectly so now there are large gaps where you can see the wall.

Pretty much everything is wrong. My parents lost wages because the company messed up the scheduling so my parents had to stay home alot. They offered 0 in store credit & my dad was insulted.

Could they sue? They didn’t get the kitchen they wanted at all.
What makes them really upset is that my grandparents gave them the money to do this as a gift and now our kitchen is totally destroyed. The company would never get back to them, update them, and my parents had to pay out of pocket costs because the COMPANY made installation mistakes!

I’m about to tile my kitchen backsplash with glass tiles and was wondering how to deal with the electrical outlets. they will not be flush with the wall after the job is done. how do you make them flush and still be with code? longer screws? box extenders maybe? spacers? info much appreciated!

I have selected 2 inch frosted glass tile for the backsplash behind the cooktop and I have hired a professional installer. I have two issues. One is that he says the grout lines are small and the job does not need to be sealed because it will make the grout darker. And two…when he cut the tile for the sides and corners, the color came off the back and he is telling me I need to have a moulding installed to hide these pieces that have lost their color.. He says all glass tile loses it’s color when cut into small pieces. What’s up? Should I go back to the manufacturerregarding the color loss, and should I insist that it be sealed to protect against grease and splashes.

I’m not color coordinated and need help w/remodeling kitchen. Ubatuba granite counters & backsplash just put in. I have big bay window. Not sure what color to do cabinets or even walls. I also need to decide what to do with flooring. This is a do-it-yourself job w/me and my husband and trying to do it cost effective. Any suggestions would be awesome! THANKS!
