Floor Tile Installation

What This Service Involves

Tile floors take a beating in Northwest homes, from tracked-in rain to heavy furniture, so we build them to last on a stable, deflection-free subfloor. Where needed we add an uncoupling membrane that absorbs seasonal movement and protects against cracks. Layout is planned so the most visible sightlines get full tiles and cuts are tucked along walls. The finished floor is flat, level, and ready for years of hard wear.

Benefits

Withstands moisture, grit, and heavy foot traffic; Uncoupling membranes reduce seasonal cracking; Balanced layouts that minimize awkward cuts; Easy-to-clean surface ideal for entryways and mudrooms

Our Process

1) Inspect and reinforce the subfloor for stiffness; 2) Install uncoupling or backer board as the setting bed; 3) Lay tile to the planned layout with consistent spacing; 4) Grout, clean haze, and seal porous materials

What Affects the Cost

Floor area and shape of the space; Subfloor condition and any structural stiffening; Tile size and hardness, which affects cutting time; Removal and disposal of existing flooring

Best Time of Year

Floor tiling proceeds on schedule regardless of weather, though many homeowners book it in fall ahead of holiday gatherings.
