They show up when I need them and they go above and beyond to make sure that the installation will last for years. I'm looking forward to working with these guys for years to come. Highly recommended! [...]
Stunning Tile Floors and a Fireplace to Match
Main Floor Tile Flooring and Tile Fireplace Surround
Thank you for the wonderful workmanship on the installation of our new flooring tile. After working on my husband for *years* we finally agreed to choose tile flooring and even he as a hardwood floor snob is pleased with the look and feel. The investment is totally worth it, and all of the employees worked hard and long hours to complete the project. The fresh paint also highlights the beautiful accent fireplace tile too! [...]

When choosing the right tile for your project, you’ll want to consider the location (floor, wall, backsplash), durability, style, colour, size, and maintenance requirements. Our expert tile contractors can guide to to the best product decision for your needs.
Durable options like porcelain and ceramic are popular due to their hardness and water resistance. Natural stone can be used, but it often requires more maintenance.
Costs vary depending on the tile material, size of the area, complexity of the pattern, and labour rates. Getting a custom quote is recommended.
Tile choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Aesthetically, smaller tiles create more grout lines, which—especially with contrasting grout—can make a space feel busier and appear smaller. On the other hand, using a grout color that blends with the tile can create a more seamless look, helping the room feel larger. If budget is a concern, a 12x24 tile is often the most cost-effective option.
Typically by the time we add the proper substrate whether it is plywood, or membrane, the finished height is 3/4 of an inch when you add all layers added. Butting up to hardwood ideal because typically hardwood thickness is 3/4". When transitioning from tile to vinyl plank or lino, it is likely that a carpet tuck reducer has to be used for an angle transition.
Yes, in most instances where we are removing current floor covering and installing tile there isnt enough substrate in the floor. The building code for tile installation practices states that we require a minimum of 1 1/4 of substrate in order to install tile over top. Instead of increasing the height of the floor by so much, the anti-fracture membrane technology allows us to minimize the height build up that would've otherwise would be required. In addition, for our organization to warranty our installation we require the anti-fracture membrane to be installed prior to tiling and grouting.
The easiest way to find out the thickness of your subfloor / substrate is to find a heat register and pull it out. Look on the edge where the floor meets the vent lining and that should allow to inspect the thickness.
