Porcelain tile is the truly stain-proof, water-resistant choice. Natural stone is beautiful but more porous and needs sealing. We will help you pick the right one for the space and how it will be used.
Porcelain can now look remarkably like natural stone and is often more durable and lower-maintenance. Natural stone offers one-of-a-kind variation but needs more care. It comes down to the look and the upkeep you want.
Plywood expands and contracts, and that movement cracks tile and grout over time. We install over a proper substrate like cement board so the tile stays put and lasts.
Yes, those are a specialty. Proper waterproofing, such as a Schluter system, keeps a shower from causing hidden damage behind the walls. We handle the details that make it last.
Usually not. A lot of tile is chosen by distributors once a year and can be discontinued or go out of stock. If you love it, it is often worth acting rather than risking losing it.
Yes. We handle quartz, granite, and other slab materials for kitchens and baths. A helpful tip: start with the countertop, since it is usually the most expensive piece, then choose your tile around it. See our countertops.
Save a few extra tiles from your job. For a repair, matching the size matters even more than the color, and even a small size mismatch can stop a repair in its tracks.
Order it all from the same lot. Natural stone varies from piece to piece, so same-lot ordering keeps the color and pattern consistent across your whole space.
