Services
Residential Tile Setting
We specialize in custom residential tile installations for kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces. Our team uses premium ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone materials to create durable, aesthetically pleasing surfaces. With decades of experience in mud and lath techniques, we ensure proper adhesion and longevity for countertops, shower stalls, and flooring applications.
Commercial Tile Installation
Our commercial tile services cater to businesses requiring durable flooring and wall installations. We handle large-scale projects with precision, using industrial-grade materials that meet safety and accessibility standards. From retail spaces to office buildings, our team ensures minimal disruption while delivering professional-grade results that withstand heavy foot traffic.
Custom Stone Work
We offer bespoke stone installations using marble, slate, and other natural materials. Our craftsmen create unique patterns and designs for fireplace hearths, accent walls, and luxury bathrooms. Each project receives personalized attention to detail, ensuring seamless integration with existing architecture while maintaining structural integrity.
Mud & Lath Applications
Our expertise includes traditional mud and lath techniques for superior tile adhesion. This method creates a stable base for tile installations, preventing cracks and water damage. We apply scratch coats and curing processes to ensure long-lasting results, particularly for shower pans and exterior applications requiring enhanced waterproofing.
Handicap-Accessible Showers
We design and install ADA-compliant showers without curbs for improved accessibility. Our systems incorporate waterproof shower pans and non-slip surfaces while maintaining aesthetic appeal. These installations meet safety standards for elderly and mobility-impaired individuals without compromising on style or functionality.
