A tile flooring installation you can count on
The first and most crucial step in your tile installation is choosing the perfect porcelain or ceramic tiles. Once you have a specific product in mind, we can get started measuring your space for the ideal number of tiles and the perfect fit. This step is the same, regardless of whether installing flooring in new construction or remodeling an existing space. Once we are on-site, here are the steps we will take to get your tiles installed as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Surface preparation – We’ll make sure the surface is clean and dry, but we’ll also make any necessary repairs. Removing trim and doorjambs will again happen during this step.
Layout – Starting in the center, we mark layout points for perfect square installation assurance. Larger rooms are managed by creating smaller sections for perfect measurements.
Adhesive application – Adhesives will be mixed, spread on the subfloor, and ridged to create a tile bedding area.
Tiles are cut, if necessary – Smooth, expert cuts will be made to any tiles that require it, taking time to ensure exact measurements.
Tile setting – Tiles are put into place, from the center out, working in set grids at a time. After setting, the tile should be left to sure for at least 24 hours. During this time, do not walk on the tile.
Grout work – Once the tile has set, grouting can begin. When the task is finished, be sure to wait 72 hours before putting the floor under heavy duress or foot traffic.
