Tile Work — Price, Value, Longevity, and What Makes Us Different

Price

• Transparent, competitive pricing based on scope and materials. We provide detailed, itemized estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for: surface preparation, materials, labor, grout/sealant, removal/disposal, and any waterproofing or substrate repairs.

• Flexible pricing options to match budgets: standard, premium, and luxury material tiers. We can recommend cost-saving alternatives (large-format porcelain, rectified edges, or semi-polished finishes) that lower install time without compromising appearance.

• Clear change-order policy and no hidden fees. Any necessary scope adjustments are quoted and approved before work continues.

Value

• End-to-end service that includes consultation, take-off and material selection guidance, substrate assessment, full installation, and post-installation cleanup and inspection.

• Skilled craftsmen who follow industry best practices (ANSI A108/A118/A136 standards where applicable) to reduce callbacks and ensure consistent results.

• Warranty-backed workmanship: we stand behind our installations with a written workmanship warranty and help facilitate manufacturer warranties on tiles, setting materials, and waterproofing systems.

• Time and cost savings through efficient scheduling and trade coordination—minimizing downtime for homeowners and businesses.

Longevity (Length of Service)

• Proper installation techniques and high-quality materials extend the life of tile assemblies for decades. Typical lifespans:

  • Ceramic wall tile: 20–40+ years with proper care

  • Porcelain floor tile: 30–70+ years

  • Natural stone: 50+ years when sealed and maintained correctly

• Long-term performance depends on correct substrate preparation, appropriate mortar/thinset selection, correct grout and sealing, and addressing movement joints—areas we prioritize on every job.

• Maintenance guidance included: cleaning, resealing schedules for natural stone, and grout care to preserve appearance and durability.

Why Our Tile Work Is Unique

• Craftsman expertise: Our installers are experienced in complex layouts, pattern matching, inlays, mosaics, and level transitions. We manage challenging conditions—uneven substrates, large-format tile, heated floors, and wet-area waterproofing.

• Material knowledge: We source and recommend tiles and setting systems best suited to each application rather than pushing product upsells. We can match aesthetic goals with materials that offer the best long-term value for your budget.

• Attention to detail: Precise cuts, tight grout lines, consistent joint widths, aligned patterns, and clean transitions—small details that dramatically affect the finished look.

• Durable waterproofing: For bathrooms, showers, and wet areas we install proven waterproofing membranes and membranes-integrated systems to prevent leaks and water damage over time.

• Communication and project management: Clear timelines, milestone updates, and coordination with other trades to keep projects on schedule.

• Compliance and safety: We follow building code, manufacturer instructions, and safe work practices on every job.

Common Applications

• Bathrooms and showers (tile walls, floors, niches, curbs)

• Kitchen backsplashes and floors

• Entryways, mudrooms, and laundry rooms

• Living spaces and countertops (where appropriate)

• Commercial installations: lobbies, restrooms, retail spaces, and hospitality

Estimate Process

• Free on-site assessment or virtual consultation to evaluate substrate conditions, layout complexity, and material needs.

• Itemized written estimate, recommended materials list, and proposed schedule.

• Options for phased work or full remodels and financing guidance if needed.
