From Our Customers

Our Bathroom Tile Installation Process

  1. Initial consultation and scope review: We visit your home to measure the bathroom, check the subfloor condition for deflection, and discuss your tile preferences. We assess whether the existing plumbing layout works for your new shower design.
  2. Detailed written estimate: You receive a line-item breakdown covering demolition, backer board, waterproofing, setting materials, and labor. We clarify exactly which tile SKUs you need to order and what we supply.
  3. Professional installation: We protect adjacent rooms, remove old materials, level the substrate, apply waterproofing membranes, and set your tile with polymer-modified thin-set. We maintain a clean workspace throughout the project.
  4. Final walkthrough and project sign-off: After the grout cures, we inspect all joints, apply necessary sealant at changes of plane, and ensure the bathroom is completely clean and ready for daily use.

Common Questions About Bathroom Tile

What does Bathroom Remodeling include in my area?
Key basics include substrate condition, tile layout, material choice, and prep needs before installation in your area. We handle the demolition of old surfaces, inspect the framing, and install cement backer board.
How long does a bathroom tile remodel take?
Timeline depends on prep work, layout complexity, grout cure time, and how much substrate correction the walls need. A standard tub surround might take a few days, while a custom walk-in shower with floor leveling requires more time for membranes and thin-set to dry properly. We outline the day-by-day schedule in your estimate.
What waterproofing steps are required for shower tile?
We install a sloped mortar bed or pre-formed pan, apply a waterproof membrane over the cement board, and seal all seams. We also perform a flood test on the shower pan before setting any floor tile.
How do I request a bathroom remodel estimate?
We review your situation, confirm scope for bathroom remodeling, and provide a written estimate for work in Franklin, TN. Contact us with your room dimensions and photos of the current space. We will schedule a site visit to check the subfloor and discuss your material choices before writing up the details.

Planning Your Bathroom Tile Project

Substrate Preparation and Leveling
A lasting tile floor requires a flat, rigid subfloor. Before setting any bathroom tile, we check the joists and plywood for deflection to ensure the floor will not bounce and crack the grout. If the surface is uneven, we apply a self-leveling underlayment or install cement backer board. Proper substrate preparation prevents toe-stubbing edges and ensures large-format porcelain tiles sit perfectly flush. We avoid skip this step, as a compromised subfloor will ruin even the most expensive tile.
Selecting the Right Tile Materials
Porcelain is highly recommended for bathroom floors and shower walls because it absorbs very little water and resists staining. Ceramic tile works well for vanity backsplashes or dry accent walls. When choosing materials for a shower pan, smaller mosaic tiles are ideal because the extra grout lines provide slip resistance, and the smaller pieces easily follow the slope toward the drain. We can help you calculate the correct square footage to order, including overage for cuts and waste.
Waterproofing and Moisture Control
Tile and grout alone are not waterproof. Water will eventually migrate through the joints, which is why a dedicated moisture barrier is critical. We apply liquid or sheet membranes over the backer board in all wet areas. The shower pan is built with the correct slope and tested for leaks before the finish material is installed, protecting your home's framing from hidden rot. Proper moisture control is the most important part of any custom shower installation.
