Professional Tile Services

Tile installation is technical work. Proper substrate preparation, waterproofing, thinset application, and grouting determine whether your tile lasts decades or fails within years.

Floor Tile

Kitchen, bathroom, entryway, and laundry room floors benefit from tile's durability and easy cleaning. We prepare subfloors properly to prevent cracking and ensure levelness.

Wall Tile

Shower surrounds, tub enclosures, and accent walls require secure attachment and waterproof backing. We install wall tile with proper membrane systems in wet areas.

Backsplashes

Kitchen and bathroom backsplashes protect walls and add visual interest. From classic subway tile to custom mosaics, we install backsplashes with clean edges and consistent grout lines.

Shower Installations

Shower tile is our most demanding work. Waterproof membranes, proper slope to drains, and secure attachment prevent the water damage that plagues poorly installed showers.

Questions about Tile Installation

Quick answers before you request a quote.

Can you tile over existing tile?

Sometimes, if the existing tile is sound and level. Often removal is better for long-term results. We'll assess your situation and recommend the best approach.

What's the difference between ceramic and porcelain?

Porcelain is denser and more water-resistant, making it better for wet areas and high-traffic floors. Ceramic is more affordable and works well for walls and dry areas.

How long until I can walk on new tile?

Light foot traffic is usually okay after 24 hours. Full cure takes 48-72 hours. We'll provide specific guidance based on your installation.

Do you install heated floor systems?

Yes, we can install electric floor heating mats beneath tile. This adds comfort, especially in bathrooms, and works with most tile installations.

What about large format tiles?

Large tiles (12"+ and especially 24"+) require perfectly level substrates and special handling. We have the equipment and experience for large format installation.
