Tile Flooring Installation
Tile is durable and endlessly stylish, from patterned cement tile to large-format porcelain. A good tile floor starts with a flat, firm substrate and the right underlayment. We lay out the pattern, set the tile with the right mortar and grout it neatly with lines that stay straight.

About tile flooring installation
Is tile hard on the feet?
Tile is firm, and many people add rugs near the sink and range. Radiant heat under the tile makes it much warmer.
What about the grout?
Grout can stain if not sealed, so we use the right grout and explain care. Epoxy grout is available for tougher conditions.
Can tile go over my existing floor?
Sometimes, but the existing floor needs to be flat, firm and the right material. We inspect it before deciding.
