Frequently Asked Questions

How long does tile installation take?

For a standard shower or bathroom floor, installation typically takes 3-5 days, including prep, waterproofing, tiling, and grouting.

Do you install tile in showers and floors?

Yes, we handle all bathroom tile surfaces, including walk-in shower pans, shower walls, bathroom floors, and wainscoting.

Can you match existing tile?

If you have spare tiles from the original installation, yes. Otherwise, it can be very difficult to find an exact match due to dye lot variations.

What tile types work best in showers?

Porcelain and ceramic are most durable and low-maintenance. Natural stone looks beautiful but requires regular sealing.

Do I need to buy tile myself?

You can purchase your own tile, or we can assist with selection and ordering through our supplier partners.

How do you keep dust down?

We use dust containment barriers, floor protection, and air scrubbers to minimize dust throughout your home.

Do you handle waterproofing behind tile?

Yes, proper waterproofing is the most critical part of the job. We use industry-standard waterproofing systems (like Schluter-Kerdi or liquid membranes) behind all shower tile.

What affects tile pricing most?

Complexity of the pattern (herringbone vs. stacked), type of tile (natural stone takes more labor than ceramic), and any necessary subfloor repairs.
