What’s included

Done properly, start to finish.

Demo

Old floor out

Carpet, vinyl or old tile removed and hauled off, down to a clean subfloor.

Base

Built for tile

Subfloor stiffened and leveled, with backer board or an uncoupling membrane where the floor calls for it.

Layout

Centered and square

We dry-lay and snap lines so cuts land evenly at walls and doorways, not as slivers.

Setting

Full coverage

The right thinset and trowel for the tile size, back-buttered so tiles stay solid and don’t crack.

Grout

Even, clean lines

Consistent joints, grout matched to your tile, and sealer where the grout needs it.

Transitions

Tile to wood or LVP

Clean edges where tile meets other floors, including scribed cuts like our hexagon threshold.

Hexagon tile with a custom scribed transition into plank flooring

Good to know

Large-format, hex or patterned

Bigger tiles and shaped tiles need a flatter base and a more careful layout. We plan the pattern before the first tile goes down so the room looks centered and every cut is intentional.

  • Porcelain and ceramic floor tile
  • Large-format, plank-look, hexagon and patterned layouts
  • Leveling systems on large tiles to prevent lippage
  • Clean transitions into wood, LVP and laminate

FAQ

Tile Installation questions

Don’t see yours? Call or text (971) 427-2333.

Can tile go over my existing floor?

Sometimes over old tile if it’s solid and flat, but usually we remove the old floor so the new tile sits on a proper base. We’ll check at the estimate.

How long before I can walk on new tile?

Usually the next day once the thinset sets. Grout needs a bit more time before heavy use, and we’ll tell you exactly when.

Do you do patterned or hexagon tile?

Yes. Hex, herringbone and offset layouts take more planning and cutting, and we price that in up front.

Will my tile crack?

Most cracked tile comes from a bouncy or uneven base. That’s why we stiffen and level the subfloor and use the right underlayment before setting.
