Showers, Floors & Backsplashes
Tile Installation & Removal
Showers, floors and backsplashes set level and grouted clean — including tearing out whatever's there now and waterproofing what's behind it.
The tile is the part you see. The waterproofing is the part that matters
A shower is a wet box built into the middle of your house. The tile and grout are not what keep water out of the wall — grout is porous and always has been. The waterproofing layer behind the tile is the system doing that job.
When a shower fails, it usually isn't the tile. It's a pan that wasn't sloped correctly, a corner where the membrane wasn't lapped, or a niche cut into a wall and tiled over without being sealed. By the time you see a loose tile or a dark spot on the ceiling below, water has been getting behind there for months.
We build the assembly properly: solid substrate, waterproofing membrane at the pan and walls, seams and corners treated, slope verified before a single tile goes up. Then we set tile — level, consistent grout lines, cuts that land where they should.

How the job runs
Our process
- Tear-out and inspection
Old tile, backer and pan come out, and we look at what's behind it. Rot, mold or a compromised subfloor gets addressed now, not covered up. You'll see photos of anything we find.
- Substrate and waterproofing
New backer board, then a waterproofing membrane over the pan, curb and walls with corners and seams treated. Slope to the drain is checked before we go further.
- Layout
We dry-lay and plan the layout so cuts land in sensible places, patterns line up at corners, and you don't end up with a sliver of tile in the most visible spot in the room.
- Setting the tile
Tile is set with the right mortar for the material, back-buttered where it needs to be, and checked for lippage as we go. Large-format tile is unforgiving and gets extra attention.
- Grout, seal and clean
Grouted, wiped down, sealed where the material calls for it, and the space left clean. We walk it with you before we call it done.

Questions
Tile FAQ
How long does a shower tile remodel take?
Typically four to seven working days from tear-out to grout for a standard shower, with cure time between stages that can't be rushed. Waiting on mortar and waterproofing to cure properly is what keeps the assembly sound.
Can you remove my old tile and haul it away?
Yes. Tear-out, debris hauling and disposal are part of the scope. Tile demolition is messy work, so we contain the area and protect the path in and out.
Should I retile or reglaze my shower?
Reglazing is cheaper and faster and can make sense on a surface that's cosmetically tired but structurally sound. If there's any sign of water getting behind the wall — loose tiles, soft spots, staining below — reglazing just hides the problem. Retiling fixes it.
Do you install large-format tile?
Yes. Large-format tile needs a flatter substrate than standard tile and proper coverage behind every piece, so it's more prep, not less. We check flatness before setting rather than fighting it afterward.
Can you match tile in an existing floor?
Sometimes, if the line is still produced or you have spares. Discontinued tile is often impossible to match exactly, and we'll tell you that up front rather than promising something we can't deliver.
Do you do kitchen backsplashes?
Yes, and they're usually a one to two day job. Backsplashes are highly visible at eye level, so layout around outlets, windows and the range hood is what separates a clean install from an obvious one.

Residential and commercial painting done the way it holds up: surfaces prepped properly, edges cut by hand, and a job site left cleaner than we found it.

Garage, patio and commercial floor coatings that survive hot tires, oil and daily abuse — because the concrete underneath was actually prepared first.
