Why Choose Professional Tile Installation?
Tile installation is far more complex than it appears. While DIY projects may seem cost-effective initially, improper installation can lead to cracked tiles, water damage, uneven surfaces, and costly repairs down the road. Professional installation ensures your investment is protected and your tiles will stand the test of time.
Expertise and Precision
Professional tile installers possess the specialized knowledge and skills necessary for flawless execution. Our team understands the nuances of working with different tile materials, from ceramic and porcelain to natural stone and glass. We know which adhesives work best for specific applications, how to properly prepare substrates, and how to handle intricate patterns and complex layouts. This expertise translates into perfectly aligned tiles, consistent spacing, and clean grout lines that enhance the overall aesthetic of your space.
Time and Cost Efficiency
Hiring professional installers saves you considerable time and money in the long run. Our experienced team works efficiently, completing projects in a fraction of the time it would take an inexperienced DIYer. We have access to specialized tools like wet saws, leveling systems, and professional-grade trowels that ensure precision cuts and proper installation. More importantly, professional installation minimizes the risk of mistakes that could result in expensive repairs or complete reinstallation.
Enhanced Durability and Longevity
Proper installation is the foundation of long-lasting tile work. Professional installers ensure tiles are properly adhered and sealed, minimizing the risk of cracks, loose tiles, and water damage over time. We prepare surfaces correctly, addressing any structural issues before installation begins, which is crucial for preventing future problems. With professional installation, your tiles can easily last 20 years or longer when properly maintained.
Our Comprehensive Tile Installation Process
At Asgard Construction, we follow a meticulous installation process that guarantees exceptional results from start to finish.
Initial Consultation and Assessment
Every successful tile project begins with thorough planning. Our team conducts a detailed site inspection to evaluate the condition of existing surfaces, take precise measurements, and identify any potential challenges such as uneven subfloors or moisture issues. During this consultation, we discuss your vision, style preferences, and functional requirements to recommend the best tile options for your specific needs. We provide expert guidance on tile selection, patterns, layouts, and design elements that will bring your vision to life.
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is absolutely critical to successful tile installation. This step often makes the difference between a beautiful, long-lasting installation and one that fails prematurely. Our team thoroughly cleans and prepares the subfloor or wall surface, ensuring it is level, stable, and ready to support the tiles. We remove old tiles or residue, address any structural issues, repair cracks or damage, and apply appropriate underlayment materials such as cement board or waterproof membranes where needed. For bathroom installations, we use advanced waterproofing systems to prevent moisture infiltration and protect against mold and mildew growth.
Design Planning and Layout
Before placing the first tile, we carefully plan the layout to optimize visual appeal and minimize waste. Our installers plot the tile arrangement, considering factors like symmetry, grout line spacing, cuts for edges and corners, and focal points in the room. For intricate patterns such as herringbone, diagonal layouts, or custom mosaics, precision in the planning phase ensures a flawless finished product. We provide layout visualization so you can see how the final result will look and request any adjustments before installation begins.
Professional Installation
Our skilled installers execute each step with meticulous attention to detail. We apply the appropriate adhesive or mortar using the correct trowel size for your specific tile type, ensuring proper coverage and adhesion. Tiles are carefully placed according to the pre-planned layout, with spacers used to maintain consistent grout lines and leveling systems employed to prevent lippage on large-format tiles. We make precise cuts for borders, corners, and irregular spaces using professional equipment that delivers clean, accurate results. Throughout the installation process, we continuously inspect our work to ensure every tile is perfectly set and aligned.
Grouting and Finishing
Once the adhesive has properly cured, we apply grout to fill the spaces between tiles. The grouting process requires skill and precision to achieve consistent, attractive results. Our team uses the appropriate grout type for your specific application, whether it’s standard cement grout, epoxy grout for wet areas, or specialty grout for particular aesthetic effects. We carefully fill all joints, remove excess grout, and tool the grout lines for a professional appearance. Edges and seams are sealed with caulk where appropriate, and the entire surface is thoroughly cleaned to remove any haze or residue. For certain tile types, we apply sealers to protect against stains and moisture.
Final Inspection and Cleanup
Before considering any project complete, we conduct a thorough final inspection to ensure every detail meets our exacting standards. We verify that all tiles are securely adhered, grout lines are consistent and properly filled, cuts are clean and precise, and the overall appearance meets your expectations. Our team thoroughly cleans the work area, removing all debris and leaving your space ready to enjoy.
Types of Tile Materials We Install
Our expertise extends across all major tile materials, each offering unique characteristics and benefits.
Ceramic Tile
Ceramic tiles are a versatile and affordable option suitable for a wide range of applications. Made from clay fired at high temperatures, ceramic tiles are available in countless colors, shapes, sizes, and finishes. They are stain-resistant, easy to maintain, and work well for interior walls, backsplashes, and floors with light to moderate traffic. Ceramic tiles typically absorb between 3-7% water, making them suitable for most interior applications. Their softer composition compared to porcelain makes them easier to cut and handle, which can be advantageous for certain design applications.
Porcelain Tile
Porcelain tiles represent the premium tier of ceramic tiles, offering superior density, durability, and water resistance. Manufactured from refined clays fired at extremely high temperatures, porcelain tiles are virtually impervious to water, absorbing less than 0.5% moisture. This makes them ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and even outdoor installations in various climates. Porcelain tiles are harder than granite, making them exceptionally resistant to scratches, stains, and heavy wear. They can withstand heavy foot traffic in both residential and commercial settings while maintaining their appearance for decades. Full-body porcelain tiles carry color and pattern throughout their entire thickness, making chips and wear virtually invisible.
Natural Stone Tile
Natural stone tiles including marble, granite, slate, and travertine offer unparalleled beauty and unique character. Each stone tile is one-of-a-kind, with natural variations in color, veining, and texture that create truly distinctive installations. Stone tiles provide excellent durability when properly sealed and maintained. They are particularly popular for high-end residential projects, luxury bathrooms, elegant entryways, and outdoor applications. While natural stone requires more maintenance than ceramic or porcelain, many homeowners appreciate its authentic, timeless aesthetic.
Glass and Mosaic Tile
Glass tiles and mosaics add elegance, color, and visual interest to any space. Glass tiles reflect light beautifully, making rooms appear brighter and more spacious. They are often used as accents, backsplashes, or to create artistic focal points. Mosaic tiles, available in glass, ceramic, porcelain, or stone, allow for intricate patterns and custom designs that showcase true artistry. These specialty tiles require particular expertise to install properly, making professional installation especially important.
Tile Installation Applications
Our tile installation services cover every area of your home or commercial space.
Kitchen Tile Installation
The kitchen is one of the most popular areas for tile installation, offering both practical benefits and aesthetic appeal.
Kitchen backsplashes protect walls from splashes and stains while serving as a stunning focal point. We install backsplashes in materials ranging from classic subway tiles to intricate mosaics, glass tiles, and natural stone. Our precise installation ensures proper spacing around outlets, clean edges along cabinets and countertops, and waterproof seals that protect your walls.
Kitchen floor tiles must withstand heavy foot traffic, dropped items, frequent cleaning, and food spills. We install durable ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone tiles that combine beauty with resilience. Proper installation ensures level surfaces, secure adhesion, and grout lines that resist staining and are easy to clean.
Bathroom Tile Installation
Bathrooms present unique challenges due to constant moisture exposure, making professional installation essential.
Bathroom floors require waterproof materials and proper installation techniques to prevent water damage to subfloors and structural elements. We use waterproof membranes beneath tiles and ensure proper drainage to prevent standing water. Our installations feature non-slip tile options for safety and properly sealed grout lines that resist mold and mildew.
Shower and tub surrounds demand expert waterproofing to prevent leaks and water damage. We utilize advanced waterproofing systems including backer board installation, waterproof membranes, proper slope for drainage, and fully sealed joints. Our installations create beautiful, watertight enclosures that will provide years of trouble-free use.
Bathroom wall tiles add style and protection in wet environments. We install tiles on full walls or partial wainscoting, creating cohesive designs that coordinate with floor tiles and fixtures while providing durable, easy-to-clean surfaces.
Living Spaces and Entryways
Tile flooring in main living areas creates a sleek, modern aesthetic while offering exceptional durability. Large-format tiles are increasingly popular for open-plan spaces, creating seamless, sophisticated looks with minimal grout lines. We install tiles in living rooms, dining areas, hallways, entryways, and mudrooms where durability and easy maintenance are priorities. These high-traffic areas benefit from tile’s resistance to wear, simple cleaning requirements, and ability to maintain their appearance for decades.
Commercial Tile Installation
Our expertise extends to commercial projects requiring durable, attractive tile installations. Commercial applications demand higher performance standards, more extensive warranties, and materials capable of withstanding intensive use. We work with property owners, contractors, and designers to deliver tile installations for retail spaces, restaurants, office buildings, medical facilities, and hospitality venues. Our commercial installations meet all relevant building codes and industry standards while delivering the aesthetic impact your business requires.
Benefits of Tile Flooring and Surfaces
Choosing tile for your home or business offers numerous advantages that make it an excellent investment.
Exceptional Durability
Tiles are remarkably resilient against the daily wear and tear of busy households and commercial spaces. They resist scratches, dents, stains, moisture, and heavy foot traffic better than most other flooring materials. Properly installed tile floors can easily last 20 years or more with minimal maintenance, and many tile installations remain beautiful and functional for 50 years or longer. This longevity makes tile one of the most cost-effective flooring options when viewed over its entire lifespan.
Easy Maintenance and Cleaning
Tile surfaces are incredibly simple to maintain, requiring only regular sweeping and occasional mopping with water and mild household cleaners. Unlike carpet that traps dirt and allergens or wood that requires special treatments, tile can be quickly wiped clean of spills and stains. The non-porous surface of glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles resists staining and doesn’t harbor bacteria, making tile ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where hygiene is important. This easy maintenance saves time and effort while keeping your spaces looking fresh and clean.
Water and Moisture Resistance
Tile’s superior water resistance makes it the ideal choice for wet environments. Porcelain tiles in particular are virtually impervious to water, making them perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, basements, and outdoor areas. This moisture resistance prevents mold and mildew growth, protects underlying structures from water damage, and ensures tiles maintain their integrity in humid conditions. For regions with high humidity or homes prone to moisture issues, tile provides unmatched protection and peace of mind.
Endless Design Possibilities
The variety available in tile is truly remarkable, offering limitless design options to suit any aesthetic. Tiles come in countless colors, patterns, textures, shapes, and sizes, from tiny mosaics to large-format slabs. They can mimic other materials like wood or stone while offering superior durability and easier maintenance. This versatility allows you to create exactly the look you envision, whether that’s classic elegance, modern minimalism, rustic charm, or bold contemporary design. The ability to combine different tile types, create custom patterns, and incorporate decorative accents means your installation can be truly unique.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Tile contributes to healthier indoor environments in several important ways. The hard, smooth surface doesn’t trap allergens, dust, pollen, or pet dander the way carpet does, making tile an excellent choice for allergy sufferers. Tiles emit no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) after installation, unlike some carpets, vinyl, or laminates that can off-gas chemicals. The easy-to-clean surface prevents the accumulation of dust mites and other allergens, contributing to better air quality and a healthier living environment for your family.
Enhanced Property Value
Professional tile installation is an investment that increases your property’s market value. Potential buyers consistently rate tile as a desirable feature, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms. Quality tile work signals that a home has been well-maintained and updated with durable, attractive materials. When it comes time to sell, you may see a significant return on your tile installation investment, as buyers are often willing to pay more for homes with high-quality tile work already in place.
Environmental Benefits
Tile is one of the most environmentally friendly flooring options available. Most tiles are made from natural, abundant materials like clay, sand, and minerals rather than petroleum-based synthetics. The manufacturing process, while energy-intensive, produces a product with an extremely long lifespan, meaning fewer resources are consumed over time compared to flooring that requires frequent replacement. Tile’s thermal mass properties help regulate indoor temperatures, potentially reducing heating and cooling costs. At the end of its very long life, tile is recyclable and doesn’t contribute toxic materials to landfills.
Tile Installation Maintenance and Care
While tile is remarkably low-maintenance, following proper care guidelines ensures your installation remains beautiful for decades.
Daily and Weekly Cleaning
Regular maintenance is simple and straightforward. Sweep or vacuum tile floors regularly to remove loose dirt and debris that could scratch the surface over time. Mop with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner designed for tile, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage grout or tile surfaces. Wipe up spills promptly to prevent staining, particularly on natural stone tiles which are more porous. Clean grout lines periodically with a soft brush and appropriate cleaner to prevent discoloration and buildup.
Sealing and Protection
Certain tile types require periodic sealing to maintain their water resistance and stain protection. Natural stone tiles should be sealed regularly according to manufacturer recommendations, typically every 1-2 years. Grout should also be sealed to prevent staining and moisture penetration, particularly in bathrooms and kitchens. Porcelain and glazed ceramic tiles typically don’t require sealing on their surfaces, though their grout lines benefit from sealing. Following manufacturer maintenance guidelines helps preserve your warranty coverage and ensures optimal performance.
Preventing Damage
Simple precautions protect your tile investment. Use furniture pads under heavy items to prevent scratching or cracking. Place mats at entryways to trap dirt and moisture before they reach tile floors. Avoid dropping heavy objects on tile surfaces. Address any loose or cracked tiles promptly to prevent further damage. With proper care and prompt attention to any issues, your professional tile installation will provide decades of beauty and functionality.
