Bathrooms, kitchens, mudrooms and entryways — set over proper prep so nothing cracks, hollows, or lippages a year later.
Anyone can lay tile on a flat floor. The craft is making the floor flat first. Old Farmington Valley homes settle, and subfloors in 60s and 70s houses were rarely built with tile in mind. We check and correct the substrate — leveling, backer board, proper fastening — because that invisible work is what keeps grout lines straight and tiles uncracked.
We install porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone floors across Farmington, Avon, Simsbury, Canton, and West Hartford: heated bathroom floors, wood-look planks in kitchens, slate and quarry tile in entryways that fight New England slush, and large-format floors where every joint needs to line up.
Old floor coming up? Removal, disposal, and squeak-fixing are part of the job, quoted up front.
For Valley homes we usually recommend porcelain: harder, denser, and better against water and winter grit tracked in from the garage. Ceramic still makes sense for budget walls. We price both at the estimate.
Yes — electric radiant mats under bathroom and kitchen tile are one of our favorite upgrades, and they cost less than most people expect.
Light foot traffic is usually fine 24 hours after the tile sets, with grout the next day. Furniture back in about 72 hours.
