Walls That Hold Up to Water and Use

Wall tile and decorative covering installation for homeowners in Dresher and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.

When your kitchen backsplash needs to protect drywall from grease and water, or your bathroom walls need something more durable than paint, wall tile becomes a working surface instead of just a finish. Homeowners in Dresher turn to Floor and Wall Guys Inc when they need tile or wall coverings installed correctly so they do not crack, peel, or let moisture behind them.

We install ceramic, porcelain, glass, and natural stone tile on walls throughout your home, along with decorative wall coverings that add texture and pattern. Most projects in Dresher involve backsplashes behind sinks and stoves, full bathroom wall installations, or accent walls that change the feel of a room. Proper surface prep is part of every job, because tile will not stay flat on walls that are not ready to receive it.

How We Prepare and Install Your Walls

Before any tile goes up, we check the wall surface for level and stability. In Dresher homes, we often apply cement backer board in wet areas like showers and tub surrounds, because drywall alone will not hold up to constant moisture. We mix thin-set mortar on site and use spacers to keep grout lines even as we work row by row.

After installation, you will see tile that sits flat without lippage, grout lines that are consistent, and corners that meet cleanly without gaps. Walls installed with proper technique do not crack at the edges or let water seep through over time.

We also handle decorative wall coverings such as textured panels, peel-and-stick materials, and fabric-backed vinyl, depending on the look you want and the moisture level in the room. If you are updating a kitchen or bathroom, we can coordinate wall tile installation with your flooring and paint schedule so everything finishes in the right order. Our work does not include plumbing or electrical changes, but we can work around existing fixtures once they are in place.

What Homeowners Usually Want to Know

Before we start, most people want to understand the prep work involved, how long the installation takes, and what happens if the wall is not in great shape to begin with. These are the questions we answer most often.

What type of wall prep is needed before tile installation?
We check that the wall is flat, stable, and appropriate for the tile weight. In wet areas, we install cement backer board over studs and seal seams with mesh tape and thin-set before any tile goes on.
How long does a typical backsplash installation take?
A standard kitchen backsplash usually takes one full day to install and another day for grouting after the mortar cures. Larger projects or intricate patterns may take longer depending on cuts and layout.
Why do some tiles crack or come loose after a few years?
If the wall flexes or the adhesive was not applied correctly, tiles will crack or pop off. We use proper substrate and apply mortar with full coverage so the tile stays bonded even when walls expand and contract.
What is the difference between wall tile and decorative wall coverings?
Wall tile is ceramic, porcelain, or stone installed with mortar and grout. Decorative wall coverings include panels, vinyl, fabric, or peel-and-stick materials that add texture or pattern without grout lines.
When should wall tile be installed during a remodel?
Wall tile typically goes in after plumbing and electrical rough-ins are complete but before cabinets or vanities are installed. If flooring is also being replaced, we usually install floor tile first so the wall tile can rest on top.
