Marble chevron backsplash in Wi******er, MA.

This was part of a full kitchen remodel. We handled the tile: a tight-joint marble chevron mosaic running the whole length of the kitchen, behind the range, under the upper cabinets and around the window over the sink. The homeowner picked a polished mix of Thassos, Carrara and blue-grey marble from Garden State Tile.

Tight-joint means there is no grout line between the pieces. That takes away the small margin of error a normal mosaic gives you. Every sheet has to land exactly where the last one ended, and if one row drifts, the whole wall shows it. On polished white marble in a bright kitchen, there is nowhere to hide that.

We centered the layout on the range, kept the cuts out at the corners and edges, and checked every single row against a laser. The window was the hardest part. A laser on a pole carried the same line across the opening so the pattern came back down the other side still in line with the rest of the wall.

A second wall in the same kitchen got a different look: an Ann Sacks Savoy Arrowhead mosaic, a glazed ceramic in a kite and triangle pattern, behind floating oak shelves with lighting built in. The glaze pools at the edge of each piece, so the wall catches light differently from every angle. It ties in with the chevron through the same white oak and the same clean lines.

Against the white cabinets, white oak island and shiplap hood, it reads modern and classic at the same time. The kind of kitchen that will still look right in twenty years.

Chevron tile on the pallet. Up or down?

This is the large-format porcelain going on the master shower walls in Dover. Whole-house tile job, seven bathrooms, close to 3,000 square feet of floor. Deliveries are landing almost every week.

The client is deciding which way the chevron points. My recommendation is up. On shower walls, the grout joints then run downhill, the same direction the water does. That is the kind of detail that decides how a shower looks and performs ten years from now, not just on install day.

I wrote up the full reasoning, including when down makes sense: Should Chevron Tile Point Up or Down in a Shower? What I Tell My Clients.

New 2026/2027 NTCA Reference Manual arrived at the Hingham shop this week. If you've ever wondered why one shower lasts thirty years and another leaks in three, the answers are in this book. It's the standard the National Tile Contractors Association sets for the trade, and it's what I install to.

Underneath it is a quote on our letterhead. Every job we do starts with one. Scope, materials, and price in writing before work begins. It protects you, and it keeps me honest about what the job actually takes.

Before and After of this Tub-to-shower conversion done recently

04/21/2026

Six months old. Contractor gone. Already falling apart.
A homeowner called me in this week to look at her bathroom, installed just six months ago. She’s not happy with the work, and the contractor is nowhere to be found.

Here’s what I found:

→ Grout already coming loose in a shower that’s barely used
→ The pitch near the drain was done so badly that water puddles instead of draining

Beautiful materials. Handled badly.

After 25 years in this trade, this kind of thing still amazes me. Good tile can’t save a bad installation. The slope, the waterproofing, the prep underneath, that’s what makes a shower last 20 years instead of 6 months.

If you’re in the Greater Boston area and need tile work done right the first time, we’re here.
