Tile work is one of those trades where the difference between professional and amateur is immediately visible. Odds & Ends Handyman Service handles all types of tile projects — kitchen backsplashes, bathroom shower surrounds, accent walls, floor tile, and full regrouting jobs.
Proper tile installation demands careful layout planning, precise cuts, correct thin-set application, and clean grout lines. Failing grout and cracked tiles are more than cosmetic issues — they let water penetrate behind walls and under floors, leading to mold and structural damage. Dan has been setting tile across Rockland County for over 20 years and treats every project with the same level of care, whether it is a small backsplash repair or a full shower retile.

The Odds & Ends Difference
Why Choose Us
Precision Cuts & Layout
Careful layout planning means balanced tile placement with no awkward slivers — the details that make the whole project look intentional.
Wet-Area Expertise
Showers, tub surrounds, and kitchen backsplashes require proper waterproofing. We do it right to prevent costly water damage behind walls.
Grout & Seal Specialists
Color-matched grout, consistent lines, and proper sealing protect your investment from moisture, staining, and mold.
All Tile Types
Ceramic, porcelain, glass, mosaic, natural stone, subway, herringbone, large-format — we work with whatever your design calls for.
Repairs & Regrouting
Not every tile job is a full install. We handle spot repairs, single tile replacements, and full shower regrouting with the same care.
How It Works
Our Process
Plan the Layout
We measure the area, plan tile layout for visual balance, and determine cut placements so no awkward slivers end up in visible spots.
Prep the Surface
Walls or floors are cleaned, leveled, and waterproofed where needed. Backer board is installed for wet areas to ensure a solid, lasting bond.
Set the Tile
Tiles are cut precisely, thin-set is applied evenly, and each tile is placed with consistent spacing using leveling clips for a flat, professional result.
Grout, Seal & Finish
Grout is applied, cleaned, and sealed. Caulk is placed at all change-of-plane joints. The area is cleaned up and ready to use.

Why a Pro
Why Hire a Pro?
Tile work demands careful cutting, precise thin-set application, and proper grout color matching. One wrong cut or uneven layout can ruin expensive materials and create problems that are very costly to redo. Professional installation means straight lines, consistent spacing, proper waterproofing behind wet-area tile, and grout sealed to last.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this service
What types of tile do you install?
Ceramic, porcelain, glass, natural stone, subway tile, mosaic, and large-format tiles. We work with whatever material fits your design and budget.
Can you match my existing tile?
We do our best. If you have spare tiles from the original installation, that is ideal. Otherwise, we can often source close matches from local tile suppliers.
How long does a backsplash take?
A standard kitchen backsplash typically takes 1–2 days — one day for setting tile and one day for grouting after the thin-set cures.
Do you regrout showers?
Yes, shower regrouting is one of our most requested services. We remove old failing grout, apply new grout, and seal it to prevent moisture penetration and mold growth.
Do you waterproof behind shower tile?
Absolutely. Proper waterproofing behind shower and tub tile is critical. We use appropriate moisture barriers to protect the wall structure.
Can you install tile on a floor too?
Yes. While we have a separate flooring service for large floor installations, floor tile — especially in bathrooms, entryways, and kitchens — is core tile work that we handle regularly.
