Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between ceramic and porcelain tile?
Porcelain is denser and more water- and scratch-resistant than ceramic, making it a stronger choice for bathrooms, showers, and high-traffic floors. Ceramic is generally more budget-friendly and works well for walls, backsplashes, and lower-traffic areas.
How much does tile installation cost?
Cost depends on tile material, room size, pattern complexity, and any waterproofing needed for wet areas. Contact us for a free, no-obligation estimate.
Can you install tile in my shower?
Yes — we handle full shower tile installation, including proper waterproofing membranes, niches, and benches, using porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone.
How long does tile installation take?
Most bathroom or kitchen tile projects take 2 to 3 weeks depending on square footage, pattern complexity, and drying time between steps.
Do you install natural stone tile like marble?
Yes, including herringbone and other custom patterns. Natural stone requires additional sealing to protect against staining, which we include as part of the installation.
