Ceramic Tile

Ceramic Tile Flooring Installation in Northern Illinois

Tile is unforgiving work: every lippage, every crooked grout line and every bad cut stays visible for the life of the floor. It is also the floor that outlasts everything else in the building when it is set correctly.

We install ceramic and porcelain tile in bathrooms, entryways, kitchens, mudrooms and commercial back-of-house floors. Straight sets, offset patterns, hexagons and borders — the layout is dry-fit and centered before anything is bonded down, so the cuts land in the least conspicuous places instead of the doorway you look at every day.

Wet areas get the underlayment and the detail they need, movement joints go where they belong, and grout is finished and cleaned rather than left hazy. The result is a floor that stays flat and stays tight.

If you are weighing tile against LVP for a northern Illinois basement or entry, we will walk you through both at the estimate rather than pushing the more expensive one.

What the work involves

Every space is different — what your job needs is confirmed at the free estimate, not guessed at from a web page.

  • Dry layout of the full field before any tile is bonded
  • Underlayment or backer board appropriate to the substrate
  • Waterproofing detail at showers, tubs and other wet areas
  • Straight, offset, hex and pattern sets cut to fit the room
  • Grouting, cleaning and sealing where the product calls for it
  • Transitions and edge trim into adjoining flooring
