Professional Tile Installation in Scottsdale & Phoenix, AZ
Expert Floor Tile Installation
Installing floor tile requires careful planning and preparation. We begin every project by inspecting the subfloor to make sure it is level, stable, and ready to support tile flooring. If needed, we install backer board over the substrate to strengthen the surface and prevent cracks.
Before laying tile, we snap chalk lines and mark reference lines from the center of the room. Finding the correct center point helps ensure balanced cuts and clean edges along baseboards and walls. Whenever possible, we plan layouts to avoid small pieces around the edges and keep full tiles visible in main areas.
Our team uses a notch trowel to spread thinset evenly across the floor. The notched side creates ridges that help bond the tile to the substrate. Each tile is carefully set and aligned using tile spacers to maintain consistent grout joints. A rubber mallet is gently used to ensure proper contact without damaging the tile surface.
We install ceramic tile, porcelain, and larger tiles with precision for smooth, even results.
Bathroom Floor & Shower Tile Installation
Bathrooms require extra care due to moisture. A properly installed bathroom floor must be waterproof and durable. We use quality thinset and proper waterproofing methods to protect the subfloor and prevent long-term damage.
For shower walls and shower floors, we install backer board and apply waterproof systems before setting tile. This protects against mold, mildew, and water intrusion. Whether it’s a shower wall or full bathroom floor remodel, we ensure every detail meets professional standards.
Tile around a vanity must be measured carefully. We cut tile to fit tightly against vanities while maintaining straight grout joints for a clean finish.
Professional Grouting & Finishing
Strong, clean grout lines are essential to a finished tile floor or wall. After the thinset cures, we begin grouting. Grouting fills the grout joints and locks tiles in place.
We spread grout across the tile surface and press it firmly into the joints. Excess grout is removed using a damp sponge, working carefully at a 45-degree angle to avoid pulling grout from the joints. Once cured, we apply sealer to protect against stains and moisture.
Proper grouting prevents cracking and improves durability. Poor grout work is one of the most common problems in DIY tile installation.
Wall Tile & Backsplash Installation
Tile is not just for floors. We install wall tile and backsplashes in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. A backsplash protects your walls while adding style and personality.
Wall tile installation requires precise spacing and straight reference lines. Cutting tile accurately is critical around outlets, cabinets, and fixtures. We use professional tile cutters and nippers to shape tile cleanly and avoid rough edges.
Whether you choose ceramic tiles or modern styles, our team ensures every tile installation looks polished and even.
Why Professional Tile Installation Matters
Many beginners attempt DIY tile installation using online step-by-step guides. While these guides may show basic pro tips, they often leave out critical details like subfloor preparation, correct thin set application, and waterproofing methods.
Improper installation can lead to:
-
Cracked grout joints
-
Loose tiles
-
Uneven tile floors
-
Water damage beneath the substrate
Hiring professionals prevents costly repairs later. Our experienced team understands proper floor installation techniques and industry standards.
