Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between ceramic and porcelain tile?
Porcelain is denser and more water-resistant than ceramic, making it better for wet areas and high-traffic floors. Ceramic is a great, cost-effective choice for walls and lower-traffic areas.
Can tile be installed over existing tile?
In some cases, yes — but it depends on the condition of the existing tile and the subfloor. We'll assess your situation and give you an honest recommendation.
How long does tile installation take?
A typical bathroom floor takes 1–2 days. Larger areas or complex patterns may take longer. Grout needs 24–48 hours to cure before heavy use.
Do you install tile on walls as well as floors?
Yes, we install ceramic and porcelain tile on both floors and walls, including shower surrounds, backsplashes, and feature walls.
