Precision is everything
Tile is one of the most durable floors you can install, but it’s unforgiving. A floor that isn’t flat, a missing crack-isolation membrane, or poor thinset coverage leads to cracked tiles and hollow spots.
Large-format tiles, now very popular, need an especially flat substrate and careful technique to avoid lippage (uneven edges).
Tile is a great choice for…
- Bathrooms, kitchens, entries, and mudrooms
- Homes in warm climates
- Radiant floor heating
- High-traffic areas that need to last decades
- Designer looks like herringbone and large format
What a quality tile installation includes
- Substrate preparation and leveling
- Uncoupling or crack-isolation membrane where needed
- Proper thinset coverage, especially for large tile
- Clean layout planning, cuts, and grout lines
- Sealing for natural stone and cement grout
