    I had to clean up myself several large areas of grout and there was one tile that grout was not applied so I had to mix up grout and grout that tile myself. Also he broke my bathroom door and it will not shut. I?d like someone to come fix my door

    one inch section of the tile grout was not very cleanly applied but overall nicely done. One thing noted is that there was grout left behind on the bottom of the top cupboards. Tile backsplash was put in between the cupboards and seems like it didn't occur to installer to wipe all the grout off the bottom of the top cupboards. Otherwise he did a great job. We are pleased with results.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a floor joist?
    A floor joist is the support layer below your subfloor and is either solid or engineered wood. The wider apart they are, the greater the bounce. This makes the floor less suitable for tile installation because the tile could break, bend, or crack. Our Waterloo tile installers will know if your floor joists are able to support tile before beginning the installation process.
    How many tiles do I need to purchase?
    Our measure technicians in Waterloo will measure your floors to provide an accurate quote based on the exact tile you select. Our professional measurement starts at $35, which is credited toward the cost of your tile purchase when we install.
    How are unglazed and glazed tiles different?
    Unglazed tiles are more slip- scratch-resistant than glazed tiles, offering a less shiny, often matte appearance. Typically, unglazed tiles are more porous, making them more susceptible to absorbing water, oil, or dirt. Glazed tiles usually have a shiny finish, although it's worth noting that they can also be found with a matte glaze. Glazed tiles have an extra layer of liquid glass applied to the top. Glazed tiles also are more stain-resistant than unglazed and come in a larger variety of colors and styles.
    Is underlayment required when tile floors are installed?
    Underlayment is not required when having tile flooring installed, but it is recommended.
    Do you install tile on drywall?
    Yes, we can install tile on drywall as long as it is not an area that is exposed to excessive amounts of water and moisture. Backsplashes and accent walls are great candidates for tile installation when properly prepared. Our experts will ensure that your drywall is clean and free of any damage prior to starting the project, which will extend the lifespan of your tile installation.
    What is the best way to clean my new tile?
    Caring for your new tile flooring is easy. To remove dirt, sweep the tile and grout with a soft bristle broom. Using the brush attachment, vacuum any remaining dirt or dust particles. Always vacuum or sweep before mopping the tile floor. Wipe up spills and wet spots with a cleaning cloth as soon as possible. Your local installer can walk you through additional maintenance and care details for your specific tile.

    Care & Maintenance


    Cleaning your tile doesn't have to be complicated. General cleaning techniques work for all tile materials. Simply use water and a soft sponge to clean up spills and sweep up any loose debris. If you use a tile cleaner, be sure to try it on a small portion of tile before applying it to a larger area. Sealing your tile can also help with the ease of cleaning, as it creates a waterproof shield. Sealant will need to be applied periodically to increase the lifespan of your tile. You should also clean the grout lines for a spotless appearance. To ensure you're cleaning your new tile in the proper way, talk to your contractor about your specific tile material and how it should be maintained.
