Tile Installation FAQ

Common questions about tile installation in Rainier Valley

Do I need to buy the tile or do you provide it?

Either way works. We can source tile from our supplier network at contractor pricing, or install tile you've already purchased. We'll confirm quantities and suggest extra for cuts and future repairs.

What about heated floors under tile?

We install tile over radiant floor heating systems — very popular in Rainier Valley given our cool, wet winters. The heating mat goes in during prep, and we tile directly over it.

Natural stone vs porcelain — which is better for bathrooms?

Porcelain is lower maintenance and more resistant to moisture. Natural stone (marble, travertine) looks stunning but needs sealing and more careful cleaning. We'll help you choose based on your lifestyle.
