What We Do
Tile and Stone Installations
Tile and Stone Installations
Our installation experience includes all types of ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, glass, terracotta, large format and mosaic products. A newer product in the market is GPTP gauged porcelain panels/slabs. These, in some cases 6’ by 10’ tiles, offer new and innovated looks, as well as installation challenges. We are certified by the manufacturer to install.
Cut To Order Projects
Cut To Order Projects
The beauty of natural stone and it’s ability to be shaped with proper detailing offers the most exquisite installation. We use natural stone tiles and slabs for the most bespoke baths. We work with our vendors to source and fabricate the most one of kind materials with meticulous details and innovative design in mind.
Pedestal
Systems
Pedestal Systems
Exterior elevated tile and stone decks have their inherent issues. An effective solution to that problem are pedestals. We offer wood tiles, stone, concrete, and porcelain tile pavers that sit upon pedestals. These products allow the finished deck to be level on top of a sloping waterproof substrate. The finished product is virtually maintenance free.
Specialty Cladding
Specialty Cladding
Using large pieces of stone that are fabricated into architectural shapes that are used for mantels, mouldings, entries, hood vents, and other decorative elements, we understand how to handle and install them to last.
Restoration & Maintenance
Restoration & Maintenance
Tile and stone are long-lasting surfaces. However, they need to be maintained and sometimes restored. We offer a wide range of services for countertops, showers, interior and exterior walls and floors. These services include a basic cleaning, deep cleaning, re-polishing, re-honing, sealing, and grout-colorant. We have the expertise in materials and methods to take care of and restore existing tile and stone installations.
Design Details & Estimate
Design Details & Estimate
We work collaboratively with you and/or the design team in the design development phase to select the appropriate materials and installation assemblies that meet the project goals, forms and functions. Our experiences in working with tile and stone give us insight into the intricate details that make the finished product a master piece. At the same time, we must estimate material quantities and cost for budgets. Our investment in people and technology allow us to have a quick estimating turnaround in this process. We understand custom and in many cases, we will estimate a project several times to get to the final budget.
