Thank you for understanding the limitations that some of us renovators must work within. I honor your sense of humble people's situations. Your spirit of empathy and compassion comes through. That's the quality of a great professional.
Thank you so much for your other “tile over tile” video. My husband and I transformed our dated 1990s kitchen backsplash to a new trendy glass tile backsplash (for others, just know glass is way tougher to deal with than ceramic, be prepared). We wouldn’t even have thought we could do it, but even I’m amazed. It looks so professional and you’d never even know there’s tile behind it.
Very sage advice, we were in different situations over our lifetime. Lots of things that can get you by for a while until you have the resources, or time, to do it better. Nicely done Jeff!
By the way. If you use Bins prime you should be able to do you back splash. The only reason I question my project is because of it's location size and the texture of the brick paneling.
What’s your opinion on stick on tile backsplash over paneling. Any prep ideas or hacks to make it work? Also looking at tin/vinyl ceiling what’s your take on it. DIY or hire a professional?
I removed1960s laminate backsplash and replaced with concrete backer board (harder board) for support and placed ceramic tile over top. It looks great.
Jeff this is awesome-that was me that asked that question! I pondered your answer for a bit and decided I needed to know how strong the laminate was adhered to the wall. You talk a lot about investigating things-so I peeled back some of the laminate and discovered the adhesive had almost no grab. I calmed my mothers worry by showing her your response as a professional, and then easily ripped the laminate off with almost no damage to the drywall. Without your input I wouldn’t have felt comfortable tearing it away, thinking it was a much more permanent feature of the house. Thank you so much for giving me the best information for whichever way I wanted to go with the project!! Massively encouraging ☺️✨
I have a situation similar to this. It’s going to be a backsplash in a laundry room. Originally it was going to just be painted. So I removed the wallpaper. Primed all the brown spots with kilz and skim coated flat with plus 3. Now the plan is changed to tile that wall. Is that wall going to be able ti hold the tile now? And what thin set would you recommend?
What about refreshing a tile entryway? I’ve looked at blogs where they’ve painted their tile floors, but I’m concerned about the durability, especially because it’s high traffic and can get wet-is there a product that would actually work and stay good for a number of years? Otherwise, can you put luxury vinyl plank over textured tile with 3/8 inch grout lines? How do you deal with the added height + front door/threshold? Would love to see something on those topics.
I think it might be a good idea to throw a few, my mind has blanked, the screws that have a shallow but extra wide head, like an integrated washer, into the laminate to stabilize it, that way if the adhesive on the back side wasn't particularly great it is less likely to fail due to the weight of the tile. I specifically mention those screws because the wider head helps distribute the point load thereby reducing tearout, and the shallow head would help reduce issues with tile installation
Hi there hope you could help me by answering this question can I use glass mosaic tile over the existing tile in my kitchen and if yes what products what I need to finish my job thank you so much
So what the former owner did in my Place was he took the same Material of the Counter Top and made it all on Backsplash in the Kitchen all he did was took the excess from the Counter Tops and put on as a backsplash . From what you said you can do this, . So how would I prepare that Surface and what type of Product would I use in order to put a ceramic tile?
I’ve got an open kitchen and living room space. The kitchen is tile and the living room is carpet, all on a concrete slab. What flooring choices do I have if I only want one floor type, but don’t want to rip up the tile? I’m mainly concerned about the transition of the two elevations. Any cheats for this?
Have a question...I did tile over tile in my shower surround because of your videos! It looks great. I now need to install a shower door. Can I drill and use the standard screws and wall anchors that come with they kit or do I need longer ones to accommodate the additional layer of tile?? Please help. Thanks!
always best to use longer ones and screw into the frame and not the tile with plugs. if you must use plugs use silicone on the back of the channel as well when attaching. wait for it to set overnight before adding the weight of the door to it. Cheers!
I would love to see a video about adding support to your crawl space. I am closing on my new house in a couple of weeks and I want to add support under the area in the living room that has a brick hearth with a Hearthstone wood burning stove on it. The previous owner didn't add anything as far as support and our home inspector said to make note of it and I might want to add support for future proofing it. Thanks. Love the videos.
I added a pvc tile backsplash that had adhesive on the back ( peel and stick tile). When I started applying these I realized once they were on there was no getting them off. Can I put ceramic tile over this? I’m worried if I try to pull it off it will cause so much damage to the drywall. I am wanting to put 3x6 subway tiles over it .
Thank you for your videos. Even my fiancé is enjoying all the excellent information you’ve provided. We’d love to hear anything about a shiplap or wood tile backsplash. Can it be done??
Bought a house needs work. Tore up tile floor on concrete board. Then all down to the concrete base. Husband wants to apply new concrete board and then underpayment for floating final planks. He says the concrete board is the cheapest way to go verses plywood. But is that the best option for cold concrete floor in Michigan to apply concrete boards on concrete? Would wood keep the cold away better? Thanks, Cheryl in Battle Creek Michigan
Hi Jeff - do you have an opinion on using musclebound adhesive roll instead of thinset when setting wall tiles (esp. shower wall tile)? Thanks for your insight!
I have a house that has 3 rooms with 1970s wood paneling. One of the larger rooms has had the paneling painted over. Due to supply issues, I'm not currently able to get drywall delivered to my semi-rural home. I'd like to paint over it in the meantime, but I don't really want the unsightly grooves that is typical of this type of wall finish. What is the best way to fill in the grooves and prep the walls to paint over them? Next year, if supplies are more readily available, I'll take all of the paneling down and replace it. Thank you in advance for your reply.
I had a question for you. I’m going to tile over existing tile with 3”x5” glass tile. Should I use the Mapei adhesive, and then use the mapei super lite mortar? Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated. Love your videos !!!!
i was looking at one of your videos where you were remodeling your kicthen... im actually working on an invention that make fixing a crack in drywall easy.when i get it going i will let you try it out.
Gutter repair/ replace would be an awesome video. Thoughts on gutter guards and things of that nature would be appreciated. Unclog a down spout as well.
So, i know I'm asking about something that's not ideal, but can I add a backsplash over a section of my kitchen wall that's got knockdown texture? The entire townhouse has it but I can't afford to do this to the whole house right now since I just bought it. Can I just tile over the knockdown texture in the kitchen?
The drywall I put in to replace the kitchen backsplash is not quite level with the surrounding drywall. The new drywall is a little sunk in so it's closer to the studs than the old drywall. What's the best way to level the new drywall to the old before I put tile? I saw one guy use thinset. Should I use thinset? Could I get away with joint compound instead? Thank you.
I have luxury vinyl floors in my bathroom and I want to tile over it can I, or do I have to put an underlayment of some sort before I lay the thin set down? Thanks
Hi! Previous owners used sheets of 1x1 glass mosaic for the laundry and 1/2 bath floor. Why?! Who will ever know. It’s not our style and not great for resale either. I’m considering two options: painting it or place groutable vinyl tile over top of it. I’m scared to start sledge hammering it out and bite off more than we can chew if other issues show. My concern with the tile option is adhesion considering all the grooves from 1x1 tiles vs the probably 12x24 I’d place on top. What would you suggest? Is there a way to even out the surface ahead of time or do you think it would stick using additional adhesion products and good technique? TIA! **Looking for this to last at least 5 years as we plan to sell within that time frame.
Hi. I put an oil based primer on my kitchen wall behind my sink. No I want to tile it. Will that be ok? Will a tile adhesive hold the tile on the wall with a oil based primer under them?
I have a ceramic tile backsplash and recently replaced the laminate countertop with granite, but the granite is flat and the laminate top had a 4" backsplash built in, so now I have about 4" of drywall between the granite countertop and the backsplash. I don't want to remove the backsplash. I'm wondering, do you think I could install 1/4" backerboard on top of the backsplash all the way down to the granite and then tile on that? What would I use to adhere the backerboard to the existing tile on the wall? I have about 2.25" between existing ceramic backsplash and the faucet which I think is plenty of room. Thanks
Hi Jeff and all. I found thin cement sheets to be the best substrate for tiling on walls and floors and literally everywhere. They are strong and don't get affected by weather
@@PoohBear01 Hi Pooh bear. Yes that's right. In Australia we call them cement sheets and they come in different thicknesses 4.5 / 6 / 9 mm. They are the best and I use them all the time everywhere in my house. You can easily nail them to the wall studs or use screws
@@majdizaghal1124 Sounds interesting. In case you may have an uneven wall underneath, do you typically need to fill in any gaps, or put spacers behind it for support?
@@MorryB hi Morry Yes, I usually use small cuts of the cement sheet/board itself and nail them to the wall studs until i get a flush finish. I cut them longways 300mm each with the same width of the stud and nail them behind the cement sheet
@@majdizaghal1124 That makes sense. I have to fill up to a 3/4" (20mm) curvature gap on the wall next to my counter top so that should hopefully work. I could probably use strips of wooden lathe too in case its too large a gap for the cement board material. Thank you, and cheers!
How about tiling over a slab granite backsplash in the kitchen? I know it sounds dumb, but I hate it and I don’t have the money for a full kitchen gut job this year. It will be expensive to rip out. Thanks! Built in 2003.
You've used the Mapai Eco Prim Grip in the past to tile over tile for back splashes and other applications. Won't that product work well for tiling over sheet laminate on a back splash?
Hello. Any suggestions for tiling directly over linoleum tiles with ceramic. My floor is in really good condition and I don't want to pull up the linoleum. Can I just put down eco prim grip and go for it? The linoleum is on a wood subfloor. Thanks.
Did an entire gut and rebuild of my kitchen. Out of everything, I would hire someone to do the tiling without hesitation. Way more work than I expected - it took me months from start to completely finished... Not doing that again. Everything else was straightforward: ducting, plumbing, electrical, etc.
I've got a galley kitchen in a 1950s era house that has a lathe and plaster wall that's uneven and vertically deflects/curves a total of 3/4", partway down the counter top. There are cabinets directly above it. Is there a best way to 'flatten' or straighten the wall in this area prior to installing new tile without removing the cabinets? I understand I may need to get a new counter top cut to fit once its finished. (photo available). Thanks.
Where did you get the underlayment that you discussed in an earlier video? I did not find a link online to anything close to a heavy underlayment with a reasonable price.
I was planning to tile over tile. But the tile came off too easily so we took them off but now the old mortar is left behind should I sand that then put my eco prime grip on it or just prime over it?
Can I put vinyl floor on top of tiles (really ugly, red tiles) in a bathroom floor? Please consider that this floor has one elevated section where there's a bathtub, do I'm worried about water infiltration.
Do I need to fill out paper work to do this? I want to start fixing my parent's home, but I am hesitant because of paperwork and being fined for making changes that I should not be without my town/city's approval. Not sure if this is the same for our neighbors in Canada
If you're asking if you need a permit to put in a backsplash then I'm almost positive the answer is no because you aren't messing with anything electrical, plumbing, or structural. Legally it shouldn't be any different than painting or wallpapering a wall. Where I am they want you to get a permit for just about anything, even just replacing an outlet or switch, but I don't think anybody does unless they are doing something major and will have an inspector that would see other things they've done and I wouldn't even look into getting a permit for a backsplash even if something else was getting inspected.
Great video, I'm building my own house and I believe the distributor sold me the wrong thickness of corrugated steel, the metal corrugated section normally is 1" and they sold me 5/8" and I installed it per their recommendations and it leaks in certain spot, mostly where the steel panels overlap. I got all my money back from them but I'm still here with a leaky roof. I'm trying to not have to do the whole roof again as it is very large, any ideas to seal it up?? Thank you!! 👍
@@borys444 thanks for the suggestion but it has to look nice too, this is a gable roof not a flat roof, I can see my roof when I'm coming up my driveway
The mosaic tile on my shower floor is coming up one little square at a time. Can I reinstall them? We will eventually redo this bathroom, so I don't want to invest a ton into it right now.
I'm looking at the Home Depot site right now, and they have some bathroom floor tile products that are click-together ceramic or click-together porcelain. Thoughts?
Schluter has a product line that will do exactly what you want. It's a german company and isn't the cheapest, but it's top notch and I've used it for my bathroom here and in my place in Bulgaria. After having a wet bathroom there I couldn't dare go back to the normal us style now that I have kids. Also they were having hundreds of demonstrations around the states for their products and I'm sure you can find one near you.
Hi all I really need help. I had someone put in a drywall wall iny kitchen. After kitchen has been fit I noticed wall is not straight can I tile over it to hide it. Cabinets are sitting ok?
I just got my dad's house as he has passed away. His house is in terrible condition. House made in 1932 here in AZ, USA. He was doing a lot of DIY but it is an eyesore. To me, I want to find out how safe the house is in the current condition, not only safe but the overall condition. I know the restroom needs work such as re-sealing the toilet, repairing the wall behind the toilet, replacing the shower due to hard water damage. ... Just what I see is terrible but I want a professional to survey the house condition. I am new and I need help and i don't know who to go to and ask.
If you are going to "TILE OVER IT" you can screw it down, LOL, into the studs. My thinking is you could sand it, then score it, and then tile over it but that seems to be more work than just taking it off !!
My laminate was adhered to a piece of MDF, so I just sawed it off level. It wasn’t adhered to the wall except by a few small nails. I had to saw it level because it was places behind the counter...ugh.
Can someone tell me how to install tiles over frp in my shower...dont want to ho thtu the hustle of riping off the frp panels as I noticed it has been glue to br there for ever..

Well All I can say to you is that I don't like your video 🆗,the fact is that I really, really love it and thanks for such a great information; please keep on doing it..! My best regards to and your family...! Thanks again and God bless you...!
When you address issues it makes me laugh because you seem caught between the diyer who really does not know much and the professional that you are! The good news is, you always manage to guide "us" through what we would like to do and what we should do. I forgot, "Cheers!"
Get ur scraper behind the tile and lightly hit it with a hammer then hope for the best. Unless the mastic is so old and completely dried out chances r that there will b some damage to the walls.
@@borys444 probably wont be too bad, he never even sealed the grout. I guess I should be thankful for some of his disastrous attempt to flip this house. Lol

Do I need to fill out paper work to do this? I want to start fixing my parent's home, but I am hesitant because of paperwork and being fined for making changes that I should not be without my town/city's approval. Not sure if this is the same for our neighbors in Canada
If you're asking if you need a permit to put in a backsplash then I'm almost positive the answer is no because you aren't messing with anything electrical, plumbing, or structural. Legally it shouldn't be any different than painting or wallpapering a wall.
Where I am they want you to get a permit for just about anything, even just replacing an outlet or switch, but I don't think anybody does unless they are doing something major and will have an inspector that would see other things they've done and I wouldn't even look into getting a permit for a backsplash even if something else was getting inspected.
Great video, I'm building my own house and I believe the distributor sold me the wrong thickness of corrugated steel, the metal corrugated section normally is 1" and they sold me 5/8" and I installed it per their recommendations and it leaks in certain spot, mostly where the steel panels overlap. I got all my money back from them but I'm still here with a leaky roof. I'm trying to not have to do the whole roof again as it is very large, any ideas to seal it up?? Thank you!! 👍
Karnak cures everything...
@@borys444 thanks for the suggestion but it has to look nice too, this is a gable roof not a flat roof, I can see my roof when I'm coming up my driveway
Hey Jeff, love your channel - have you got a video on building a shower bench ? cheers from Sydney, Aust.
The mosaic tile on my shower floor is coming up one little square at a time. Can I reinstall them? We will eventually redo this bathroom, so I don't want to invest a ton into it right now.
I'm looking at the Home Depot site right now, and they have some bathroom floor tile products that are click-together ceramic or click-together porcelain. Thoughts?
garbage. Cheers!
I still can’t find the shower pan that’s 4 x 4 with a right hand dream so I need to figure out how to make the floor from scratch any advice
Schluter has a product line that will do exactly what you want. It's a german company and isn't the cheapest, but it's top notch and I've used it for my bathroom here and in my place in Bulgaria. After having a wet bathroom there I couldn't dare go back to the normal us style now that I have kids. Also they were having hundreds of demonstrations around the states for their products and I'm sure you can find one near you.

I just got my dad's house as he has passed away. His house is in terrible condition. House made in 1932 here in AZ, USA. He was doing a lot of DIY but it is an eyesore. To me, I want to find out how safe the house is in the current condition, not only safe but the overall condition. I know the restroom needs work such as re-sealing the toilet, repairing the wall behind the toilet, replacing the shower due to hard water damage. ... Just what I see is terrible but I want a professional to survey the house condition. I am new and I need help and i don't know who to go to and ask.
Hire a contractor but sounds like it will be lots of money.
would it not depend on how secure the laminate is to the wall?
If you are going to "TILE OVER IT" you can screw it down, LOL, into the studs. My thinking is you could sand it, then score it, and then tile over it but that seems to be more work than just taking it off !!
I tried backsplash in a bathroom before.. it looked ok to most visitors but I always noticed all the imperfections ha

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY do you have a video on that?... tile over painted wall in kitchen?
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Is there an ideal primer to prep the previously painted surface for tile backsplash?
My laminate was adhered to a piece of MDF, so I just sawed it off level. It wasn’t adhered to the wall except by a few small nails. I had to saw it level because it was places behind the counter...ugh.

I have a laminate countertop but it has a small gap because of water. Is there a way to close it and then tile or will I have to remove the whole countertop?
You should be able to use spray foam to fill the gap. Cut off any excess and start the rest of the project.
@@kelechiajayi3049 thank you
Removing the formica backsplash requires taking down the cabinets, as it runs behind them.

Hi，I love your videos and I am a manufacturer of SPC flooring , how about we make some cooperation ?
I'm a handyman... how do i NOT price myself out of a job?
Well All I can say to you is that I don't like your video 🆗,the fact is that I really, really love it and thanks for such a great information; please keep on doing it..! My best regards to and your family...! Thanks again and God bless you...!
When you address issues it makes me laugh because you seem caught between the diyer who really does not know much and the professional that you are! The good news is, you always manage to guide "us" through what we would like to do and what we should do. I forgot, "Cheers!"
How do I get subway tile off without ruining wallboard?
Get ur scraper behind the tile and lightly hit it with a hammer then hope for the best. Unless the mastic is so old and completely dried out chances r that there will b some damage to the walls.
@@borys444 probably wont be too bad, he never even sealed the grout. I guess I should be thankful for some of his disastrous attempt to flip this house. Lol
That's so encouraging. Lol
@@marshawallace6320 did u give it a shot yet? How did it go?
@@borys444 Not yet. It's late here and frankly I'm being a weenie about it. Lol
