Why Proper Prep Matters Before Tile Installation
Flat and stable surfaces prevent crackingUneven subfloors or wall surfaces can lead to cracked tiles or loose grout over time. We ensure every tile surface is perfectly leveled and reinforced before installation.
Clean, dry substrates = strong adhesionDust, paint, or moisture can weaken tile adhesive. That’s why we perform deep cleaning and moisture checks before applying thinset or mortar.
Crack isolation membranes for durabilityWe apply protective underlayers when needed to prevent cracks in the surface from reaching your tile — especially in older homes or commercial renovations.
Precise layout and spacingFrom kitchens to bathrooms to restaurant walls, we create exact tile layouts that align beautifully and minimize waste.
Our Tile Surface Preparation Process
Surface EvaluationWe inspect walls or floors to identify imperfections, old adhesives, moisture, or damage.
Cleaning & RepairWe remove any dirt, debris, or previous tile layers, patch damaged drywall or subfloor, and make the surface even.
Leveling and PrimingWe apply floor leveling compounds or wall patches as needed, ensuring a flat and stable foundation.
Moisture ProtectionFor areas like showers or basements, we use waterproof membranes and vapor barriers.
Layout PlanningWe pre-measure and chalk out tile patterns to ensure a smooth, clean look with minimal cuts.
