Kitchen floors and walls that handle spills, kids, dogs, and Connecticut winters — and still look sharp when company comes over.
The kitchen is the hardest-working room in the house, and its tile has to earn its keep. Floors need to resist scratches from chair legs and dog claws. Backsplashes need to wipe clean behind the stove. Grout lines need to be tight enough to stay clean but sized right for the tile you picked.
We install kitchen tile across the Farmington Valley — porcelain plank floors in Canton kitchens, classic subway backsplashes in Farmington colonials, large-format slab-look floors in Avon, and statement tile behind West Hartford stoves. We set over proper underlayment so the floor does not crack a year later, and we seal everything that should be sealed.
If you are replacing cabinets too, we coordinate timing: tile after the cabinets are set, before the counters if needed. One crew, one schedule, no finger-pointing between trades.
Wood-look porcelain planks remain the top kitchen floor in the Valley — they handle water and wear better than real wood. For backsplashes, 3x6 and 4x12 subway tile still leads, with zellige and handmade-look tiles close behind.
Often, yes — especially if it is a common porcelain. We bring options to the estimate and will tell you honestly if a match is not possible and what the closest alternative is.
No. We work section by section so you still have a usable kitchen most days, and we contain dust with barriers and floor protection.
