Tile installation · NY & NJ

Tile for floors, walls, and showers.

We install ceramic, porcelain, mosaic, natural stone, and large-format tile for homes within about 50 miles of Staten Island.

Good tile work starts underneath.

A straight layout is only part of the job. The floor or wall also needs to be solid, flat, and ready for the tile you picked.

We look at the surface, room shape, tile size, grout lines, edges, and nearby finishes before installation starts. That planning helps the finished work look clean and hold up over time.

Choosing the right tile.

Looks matter, but so do water, wear, cleaning, and the condition of the surface. We help match the tile to the room.

Ceramic and porcelain

Both are good choices for many homes. We check where the tile will be used, how much water or foot traffic it will see, and whether the finish is right for that space.

Mosaic tile

Mosaics work well on shower floors, niches, and smaller details. Sheet lines, drain cuts, and grout spacing need extra attention.

Natural stone

Stone has natural color and pattern changes. Some types also need sealing and special cleaning products, so we review the material before it is installed.

Large and plank tile

Large tile and wood-look planks need a flatter surface and a careful layout. This helps keep edges even and avoids awkward cuts at walls and doors.

Tile work for different parts of the home.

A shower is built differently from a backsplash or living-room floor. We plan each surface for the way it will be used.

Floors

Tile floors for entries, kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, and other suitable rooms.

Walls and backsplashes

Tile fitted around cabinets, outlets, windows, corners, fixtures, and finished edges.

Showers

Shower walls, floors, niches, benches, curbs, drains, trim, and waterproofing preparation.

Patterns and details

Mosaics, checkerboard floors, plank layouts, inlays, trim profiles, and custom focal areas.

The details behind the finished tile.

Surface prep

Tile needs a solid and flat base. We check the existing surface and include the needed repair, flattening, or underlayment in the scope.

Waterproofing

Tile and grout are not waterproof by themselves. Showers need a proper system behind the tile to protect the walls and floor.

Layout and cuts

We plan the starting point, grout lines, pattern, trim, and visible cuts before setting the tile.

Joints and cure time

Corners, room edges, grout, sealant, mortar, and waterproofing products all need the right detail and enough time to cure.

How the job works.

1

Check the space

We measure the room, inspect the surface, and review doors, corners, drains, fixtures, and transitions.

2

Plan the layout

We confirm the tile, direction, pattern, grout width, trim, and where the main cuts will land.

3

Prepare and install

We complete the agreed preparation, set the tile, and finish the edges, corners, niches, and transitions.

4

Grout and finish

We grout the tile, complete sealant details, clean the surface, and protect it while the materials cure.

What changes the price.

Square footage is useful, but it does not tell the whole story. Prep work, tile size, patterns, cuts, and access can change the amount of work needed.
