Understanding Tile and Stone
What Are Tiles?

What Is Stone?

Our Tile and Stone Installation Process
1. Consultation and Design
The first step in our tile and stone installation service is a thorough consultation. Here’s what you can expect:
Assessment of Your Space: We evaluate the area where the installation will take place, considering factors like size, existing conditions, and your design preferences.
Material Selection: Our team guides you through the selection of tiles and stones that best suit your style, budget, and functionality needs. We provide samples to help you visualize the final look.
Design Planning: We create a detailed design plan, outlining the pattern, layout, and installation techniques to be used. This step ensures that your vision is fully realized.
2. Preparation
Once the design is finalized, we move into the preparation phase:
Surface Preparation: We prepare the surfaces for installation, ensuring they are clean, level, and ready to receive tiles or stones. This may involve removing old materials, repairing any damage, and leveling the substrate.
Materials Gathered: We gather all necessary materials, including tiles, stones, adhesive, grout, and tools, to ensure a smooth installation process.
3. Installation
The heart of our tile and stone installation service is the meticulous installation process:
Tile and Stone Placement: Our skilled installers carefully place each tile or stone according to the design plan. We pay close attention to alignment, spacing, and aesthetics to create a flawless finish.
Cutting and Shaping: For intricate designs or unique spaces, we expertly cut and shape tiles and stones to fit perfectly. Our team uses precision tools to ensure clean cuts and accurate dimensions.
Adhesive Application: We apply the appropriate adhesive to secure the tiles and stones in place, ensuring they adhere properly to the substrate. This step is crucial for the longevity and durability of the installation.
4. Grouting and Finishing
After the tiles or stones are installed, we focus on finishing touches:
Grouting: We carefully fill the joints between tiles or stones with high-quality grout. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also prevents moisture from seeping beneath the surface.
Sealing: For natural stones, we apply a sealant to protect the surface from stains and damage. This step is essential for maintaining the beauty and integrity of your stone installations.
5. Cleanup and Final Inspection
Once the installation is complete, we conduct a thorough cleanup and inspection:
Cleaning: We remove any excess grout, adhesive, and debris, leaving your space clean and ready for use.
Final Walkthrough: We perform a final inspection to ensure everything meets our high standards and your expectations. We address any concerns you may have at this stage.
