Durability by Design
We believe durability starts long before the first tile is set. Every project begins with a precise layout, full mortar coverage, and proper waterproofing in all the right places. When the prep is right, the finish speaks for itself — flat tiles, straight lines, and long-term integrity.
We also respect your space and your time. That means showing up when we say we will, keeping a clean worksite, and treating every detail like it matters — because it does. No shortcuts. No surprises. Just dependable tile work that holds up, looks sharp, and earns trust.

How We Work
We keep things simple: clear quotes, honest timelines, and craftsmanship you can count on. Every space we step into gets treated with care and intention — no matter the size of the job.
We don't cut corners. Every tile is set with care, and every client agreement is backed by truth and trust. We’re not just doing tile — we’re building things that last.
Our Work
All labor is offered through a private work agreement under a trust structure — built on mutual understanding, honest word, skilled care, and a commitment to true stewardship.
What we lay stays true — because we do it right the first time, with nothing left loose.

Common Questions & Material Planning
What type of tile should I use — and where?
Tile selection depends on your space and goals:
- Porcelain: Dense, waterproof, and ideal for floors, exteriors, or wet areas.
- Ceramic: More affordable; best for walls, backsplashes, and light-duty floors.
- Natural Stone: Adds luxury and texture — great for focal points, but requires sealing.
- Glass Tile: Reflective and decorative — perfect for backsplashes and accent walls.
Should I buy my own materials or have them sourced?
You’re welcome to order tile and have it delivered. This keeps costs transparent and lets you shop directly. If you'd prefer us to pick up materials, we can do so for a delivery fee — just let us know. Either way, we’ll review your selections beforehand and advise on what’s needed.
Which mortar and trowel should I use?
Here’s a quick reference for choosing the right mortar and trowel combo:
Tile Type & Size | Mortar Type | Trowel Size | Back-Butter? |
---|---|---|---|
Small Ceramic (≤12") | Standard Modified Thinset | 1/4" x 1/4" square notch | Recommended |
Large Ceramic (12–18") | Polymer-Modified Thinset | 1/4" x 3/8" or 1/2" | Yes |
Porcelain (any size) | High-Performance (A118.15) | 1/2" x 1/2" or U-notch | Always |
Stone Tile | White Modified Thinset | 1/2" x 1/2" or larger | Always |
Glass / Mosaic | White Thinset for Glass | 3/16" V-notch | Optional |
Large Format (≥15") | LFT-Labeled Thinset | 3/4" U-notch | Required |
Pro Tip: Always check substrate is clean, flat, and primed for bonding. Back-buttering helps with full coverage and long-term adhesion — especially for floors and showers.
What if I don’t have tools like a laser level?
We bring all professional-grade tools. If you’re a DIYer, a 20–50 ft laser level is fine for most rooms. Longer runs like basements or hallways may benefit from more advanced layout gear — which we provide.
Can I get a checklist of what to buy?
Absolutely. This guide helps you select tile, thinset, grout, spacers, and trim — all tailored to your project.
