Tile installer, Suffolk County

Tile work that sits flat and stays put

Bathroom floors and walls, showers, kitchen backsplashes and floor tile. Good tile comes down to the base under it and the care taken with every row.

What we tile

Bathroom floors and walls

Full floors, tiled walls and half-height wainscot, laid out so cuts land where you won’t notice them.

Showers

Shower walls and surrounds on cement backer board, with clean edges where the tile meets the pan or tub.

Kitchen backsplashes

From simple subway tile to larger stone-look pieces, cut neatly around outlets and windows.

Floor tile

Kitchens, entries, laundry rooms and more, including large-format and marble-look porcelain.

Wall tile

Accent walls, wainscot and fireplace surrounds.

Tile replacement

Cracked, loose or dated tile taken out and replaced, with the base fixed if it’s the cause.

Signs your tile needs attention

  • Cracked or hollow-sounding tiles. Often a sign the base underneath is moving.
  • Grout that keeps crumbling or staining. Water may be getting behind the tile.
  • Soft spots or a floor that flexes. The subfloor should be checked before new tile goes down.
  • Peeling paint or swelling around a shower. Moisture is getting into the wall. Better to open it up early.

Tile questions

Can you tile over my old tile?

Sometimes, but usually it’s not the right call. If the old tile is loose, cracked or sitting on a weak base, new tile on top will fail the same way. We’ll check what’s there and tell you honestly.

Do you supply the tile, or do I?

Either can work. Many homeowners pick their own tile. We’re happy to talk through sizes and materials that suit the room before you buy.

Can you do large-format tile?

Yes. Large tiles need a flat base and careful setting. We use leveling systems to keep the edges flush, as you can see in our bathroom photos.

Do you handle the rest of the bathroom too?

Yes. Along with tile we handle bathroom remodels, including vanities, drywall and paint. Tell us everything you’re planning and we’ll go over what the project involves.
