Tile Work That Holds Up to Colorado Living

Either works. Many clients come to us with tile already purchased. Others prefer we give them a short list of suppliers in the Lakewood and Denver area where we have seen consistent quality. We do not mark up materials, so buying direct keeps your cost straightforward.

A standard shower surround and floor in a 50-square-foot bathroom usually runs two to four days. That includes waterproofing cure time, which cannot be rushed. A full master bathroom gut and retile with a custom shower will take longer. We give you a day-count estimate in the written scope.

The substrate is whatever the tile sits on, whether that is a concrete slab, cement board, or a mortar bed. If the substrate flexes, is not flat, or has moisture issues, the tile and grout will crack regardless of how well it is installed. We check for flatness, firmness, and any signs of moisture before we set a single tile. In wet areas, we also apply a sheet or liquid waterproofing membrane over the substrate before the tile goes down.

We are open daily from 7 AM to 10 PM. Many clients give us a key or a code and we work while they are at work. We always confirm access arrangements before the job starts and send a message when we arrive and when we wrap for the day.

Both are kiln-fired clay products, but porcelain is fired at a higher temperature and pressed more densely. That makes it harder, less porous, and better suited to high-traffic floors or outdoor use. Ceramic is slightly easier to cut and often less expensive, which makes it a solid choice for wall tile and lower-traffic bathrooms. We will tell you honestly which one fits your situation.

Yes. Demolition is part of most of our jobs. We use a combination of chisels, floor scrapers, and rotary tools depending on what is there. Debris is bagged and removed from the site. If the existing tile is over a wood subfloor that has been damaged by moisture, we will flag that in the estimate so there are no surprises.
