Our Professional Tile Installation Process
Quality tile installation requires expertise, precision, and attention to detail at every step. Here's how we ensure flawless results that stand the test of time:
Consultation & Design Planning
We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your vision, budget, and functional needs. We'll help you select the right tile materials, colors, patterns, and layout options. We provide samples, discuss design possibilities, and create a detailed project plan with transparent pricing. Our goal is to ensure you're confident and excited about your tile choices before installation begins.
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is critical for long-lasting tile installation. We thoroughly inspect and prepare the substrate, ensuring it's clean, level, and structurally sound. This may include removing old tile, repairing damaged subfloors or walls, installing cement board or waterproof membranes, and applying appropriate underlayment. We take the time to do this right because a solid foundation is essential for preventing cracks, loose tiles, and water damage in the future.
Layout & Dry Fitting
Before applying any adhesive, we carefully plan and mark the tile layout to ensure symmetry, proper spacing, and optimal placement. We perform a dry fit to visualize the final result and make any necessary adjustments. This step is crucial for achieving professional-looking results, especially when working with patterns, borders, or feature designs. We consider factors like tile cuts, grout lines, and focal points to create a balanced, visually appealing installation.
Precision Installation
With meticulous care, we install each tile using the appropriate thin-set mortar or mastic adhesive. Our experienced installers use professional tile saws and tools to make precise cuts around obstacles, corners, and edges. We maintain consistent spacing with proper spacers, ensure tiles are level and aligned, and work methodically to achieve a flawless finish. For shower and wet areas, we pay special attention to waterproofing and proper slope for drainage.
Grouting & Sealing
After the adhesive cures, we apply grout in your chosen color, carefully filling all joints and removing excess material. We use professional techniques to achieve smooth, consistent grout lines. Once the grout cures, we thoroughly clean the tile surfaces and apply appropriate sealers to protect your investment. For natural stone and porous tiles, sealing is essential for preventing stains and moisture penetration. We provide detailed care instructions and maintenance recommendations to keep your new tile looking beautiful for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does tile installation take?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your project. A typical kitchen backsplash takes 1-2 days, while a full bathroom floor and shower can take 3-5 days. This includes surface preparation, installation, grouting, and sealing. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation and keep you informed throughout the process.
How much does tile installation cost?
Tile installation costs vary based on several factors: tile material (ceramic is most affordable, natural stone costs more), project size, complexity (showers require more work than floors), surface preparation needs, and pattern complexity. As a general guide, expect $8-$15 per square foot for ceramic/porcelain installation and $15-$30+ per square foot for natural stone. We provide free, detailed estimates with no obligation.
What's the difference between ceramic and porcelain tile?
Both are made from clay, but porcelain is denser, stronger, and more water-resistant because it's fired at higher temperatures. Ceramic tile is great for walls and light-traffic areas, while porcelain is ideal for floors, showers, and high-traffic spaces. Porcelain typically costs 10-30% more than ceramic but offers superior durability. We'll help you choose the best option for your specific application and budget.
Do you handle bathroom waterproofing for shower tile?
Absolutely! Proper waterproofing is critical for shower tile installations. We install cement board, apply waterproof membranes (like RedGard or Kerdi), ensure proper slope for drainage, and use appropriate thinset and grout for wet areas. We follow industry best practices to prevent water damage, mold, and structural issues. Your shower will be completely waterproof and built to last.
Can you install tile over existing tile?
In some cases, yes—but it depends on the condition and stability of the existing tile. If the old tile is firmly bonded, level, and in good condition, we can install new tile over it after proper surface preparation. However, we often recommend removing old tile to ensure a solid substrate, especially in wet areas like showers. We'll assess your specific situation and recommend the best approach for long-lasting results.
How do I maintain my new tile floors and surfaces?
Tile is easy to maintain! For daily cleaning, sweep or vacuum regularly and mop with a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers. For grout, we recommend resealing every 1-2 years to prevent staining and moisture penetration. Natural stone requires periodic sealing (every 6-12 months) to protect against stains. We provide detailed care instructions specific to your tile type at project completion.
