Tile done right is one of the most durable and visually impactful finishes in any home. We install bathroom tile, kitchen backsplashes, floor tile, and large-format tile throughout Chicago homes — with precise layout, proper setting, and expert grouting.
Tile installation is a craft. Layout planning, substrate preparation, leveling, setting, and grouting all determine whether tile lasts 30 years or starts cracking and grout-failing within 5. We do it right the first time.
Our team brings 25+ years of tile installation expertise across all tile types and substrates. We install as part of bathroom and kitchen remodels or as standalone tile projects throughout your home.
Serving Lincoln Park, Lakeview, River North, Gold Coast, Hyde Park, and all of Chicagoland.
Full bathroom tile installation — shower walls, floor tile, niches, benches, and accent strips. We waterproof shower substrates properly before any tile goes down.
Subway tile, penny tile, mosaic, and large-format backsplash installation — behind ranges, countertops, and full wall-to-ceiling applications.
Ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone floor tile throughout kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, mudrooms, and living areas — including heated floor system integration.
24x24, 24x48, and larger format tile installation with precision leveling systems to achieve the flat, lippage-free surface large formats require.
Herringbone, chevron, basketweave, and other pattern layouts — we plan and execute complex tile patterns with precise cuts and consistent joint spacing throughout.
Cement board, Schluter systems, and waterproofing membranes installed correctly before tile — the foundation that determines whether your tile lasts or fails.
We plan your tile layout before setting a single piece — calculating centered layouts, minimizing cuts at focal points, and planning pattern directions to achieve the best visual result.
We install proper cement board or waterproofing membrane, tape seams, and ensure a flat, solid substrate. This step determines your tile's longevity more than any other.
Tile is set with the correct thinset for the material and substrate, leveled precisely, and grouted with the joint width and grout color you've selected. Grout is sealed on completion.
We inspect every section for lippage, grout consistency, and clean lines. Any tile cut to less than half is replaced where visible. We don't sign off until the installation is right.

Absolutely — and any contractor who skips this step is setting you up for a failed shower within a few years. We install proper waterproofing membranes before all shower tile applications, no exceptions.
Sometimes — it depends on the existing tile's condition, the substrate beneath, and the height implications at thresholds. We assess existing conditions before recommending overlay vs. demo.
