Tile & flooring · labor only
Tile and floors that stay flat.
Porcelain, ceramic, and luxury vinyl plank. I level the subfloor before I lay anything, waterproof every wet zone, and don't cut corners on the underlayment.
What's included, and what isn't.
Every estimate I write makes this list explicit. No mid-job surprises.
Included in my labor
- Subfloor prep — level, patch, prime
- Membrane install (wet zones)
- Tile or plank install with proper offsets
- Grout and seal (tile)
- Quarter round or shoe molding to finish edges
Not included
- Sand-and-finish of existing hardwood (refer to specialist)
- Pouring self-leveling compound over deep dips (priced separately)
- Removing asbestos-containing tile (must be abated first)

How a tile & flooring job runs.
Same shape every time. You always know what step we're on.
01
Measure + check the slab
I bring a 6-ft level. Dips deeper than ¼" need self-leveler before I lay tile.
02
Estimate + tile pick
Labor estimate next day. I'll suggest 3 tiles in your style.
03
Demo + prep
Old floor out, subfloor leveled, primed. Usually one day.
04
Lay + grout
Tile down, grout the next day after the thinset cures.
05
Finish edges
Quarter round or shoe molding, caulk corners.

(305) 990-7322Questions I get about tile & flooring.
How long before I can walk on it?
Tile: 24 hours after grout. LVP: same day. I'll tell you which rooms are off-limits and for how long.
Can you tile over existing tile?
Sometimes. If the existing tile is well-bonded and flat, I can lay porcelain over it with the right thinset. Most of the time I recommend removing the old tile — the floor ends up flatter.
Do you grout match?
Yes. Bring a piece of your tile to Home Depot, I'll meet you there and we'll pick the grout color together.
Tell me what you need. I'll text you back today.
Most homeowners hear back within two hours. I keep my phone on me on the job — leave a voicemail and I'll call after dinner.
