I recently had the privilege of having Oleksiy of Craftsman Tile and Stone re do my second bathroom. I have worked with other contractors in the past 5 years but Craftsman Tile and Stone is unmatched in attention to detail, fair pricing and exemplary work.The result is a beautifully crafted walk in tub/shower combination that will be enjoyed for years to come. His attention to detail is beyond compare. If you are looking for someone to do any kind of tike work, a bathroom renovation or a backsplash, you will not regret using Craftsman Tile and Stone for the work.

I have hired Oleksi to work on 3 separate jobs. One, to install tile in a basement for a laundry room floor, a bathroom floor, and installing tile on a Fireplace hearth. His great care, attention to detail, and cleanliness while performing the work on these areas quickly made me realize I wanted to hire him for more. Since then, we are in the middle of installing floor tile in a powder room floor, and building a brand new tile shower where a dingy leaky fiberglass shower previously existed. It’s honestly a little hard for me to write this review, because selfishly I want Oleksi to be available for all my projects going forward, and I know excellent reviews won’t help achieve that. Seriously though. Hire this man. His knowledge, humility, and genuine care for what he is providing will make your life better. Aside from the work he performs, the way he Exhibits the love of a Jesus through his craft is one of the best testimonies I can think of. Oleksi, keep it up man. The best is yet to come dude.

Oleksiy did a beautiful job replacing some rust stained marble tiles around my soaker tub. This was not an easy job and he executed the job perfectly.

Oleksiy is a fantastic stone craftsman! We could not be more pleased with his workmanship, attention to detail and his suggestions for a better result. He installed quartz in parts of our shower and it makes a huge difference in the area! He is a perfect craftsman. We will certainly use him in the future! He is such a kind gentleman! Thanks you Oleksiy!

Oleksiy recently completed installing a backsplash in our kitchen. It is absolutely beautiful! He is more than a tile setter. Oleksiy is an artist at his craft, a perfectionist. I observed the patience and time he put into the job as he sorted through small tile for the edges like it was a game of Tetris, and good enough wasn't good enough-it needed to be better. More important than his work is the person I found him to be...patient, kind, gentle, and trustworthy. I truly enjoyed the conversations we had. His work ethic is beyond reproach, and customer satisfaction is his priority. In the coming year, we are planning to tile one of our bathrooms, and Oleksiy will be my first and only call.

Here is another 5 stars for an amazing stack stone project. From start to finish, the project was a fantastic experience. Olekeiy is a talented “artist” who listened to our ideas and preferences, making sure the final result was exactly what we envisioned. The work is flawless and built to last. He take great pride in his work and would definitely hire him again!

I just had a very pleasant and positive experience with a grab bar installation in our existing shower. The service occurred within 24 hours of initial contact! We did not have extra tiles and I was concerned about breakage. My concerns turned out to be unfounded. Not only was the install done to our specifications, there was no mess left behind and the outcome Is is perfect! I could not be more pleased.

Our Tile Installation Process

  1. On-site consultation and floor assessment: We measure the room, check the existing floor condition, and discuss your material selection. This allows us to identify any immediate subfloor preparation requirements.
  2. Detailed written estimate: You receive a clear breakdown of the subfloor preparation, labor, and timeline required for your specific layout. We use a detailed estimate process to ensure nothing is missed.
  3. Subfloor prep and layout planning: We remove old flooring, level the substrate, and map out the tile grid for exact symmetry. Exact layout planning prevents awkward sliver cuts along your walls.
  4. Professional floor tile installation: We set the tile using proper thin-set mortar coverage to ensure a flat, durable surface without lippage. Oleksiy personally handles the installation to maintain strict quality control.
  5. Grout, finish, and final walkthrough: We apply the selected grout, clean the tile surface, and review the finished floor with you. We also verify that all transition strips are secure and flush.

Common Questions About Tile Floors

What should I know about Tile Floor Installation?
Key basics include substrate condition, tile layout, material choice, and prep needs before installation in your area. We assess whether your subfloor requires leveling before setting large-format floor tile. We handle these technical steps so the final floor is stable and visually balanced.
How is Tile Floor Installation priced in my area?
Pricing for this scope in your area depends on tile material, pattern complexity, wall prep, and grout finish — not a single flat rate. An intricate layout or extensive subfloor preparation will increase the labor required. We review these details during the consultation to provide a clear, accurate quote. This approach avoids unexpected costs once the old floor is removed.
How long does Tile Floor Installation take?
Timeline depends on prep work, layout complexity, grout cure time, and how much substrate correction the walls need. A standard room might take a few days, while larger areas with complex transition planning take longer. We outline the expected schedule in your written estimate. This includes the necessary drying time for thin-set mortar and grout before foot traffic.
Why hire a professional for Tile Floor Installation?
A qualified tile installer documents wall condition, plans layout, and sets tile with consistent grout lines for this scope. We understand how to manage thin-set mortar and prevent uneven edges known as lippage. Hiring an experienced craftsman protects your material investment and ensures the floor remains stable. Artisan tile installation and design requires technical precision that basic handyman services often miss.
How do I get an estimate?
We review room layout, subfloor or wall condition, and tile selection before providing a written scope and estimate for your area. You can prepare by knowing your room dimensions and preferred tile style. Contact us to schedule a site visit in Franklin or Brentwood. We will walk through the estimate checklist to ensure all project requirements are clearly defined.

Planning Your Tile Floor Project

Understanding Subfloor Preparation

Many older homes in Franklin and Brentwood require extensive subfloor preparation to meet modern tile standards. We check for deflection, which is the amount of bounce in the floor. If the subfloor flexes or is uneven, the tile and grout joint will eventually crack. We inspect the joists and plywood, applying leveling compounds or backerboard as needed. This critical preparation step ensures your large-format floor tile sits completely flat and remains durable for years.

Material and Grout Selection

Choosing the right tile impacts both the look and longevity of your floor. Porcelain and ceramic offer different benefits for high-traffic areas, while natural stone requires specific sealing steps. Once the tile is set, the grout selection and finish protect the edges and seal the surface. We help you navigate these choices, ensuring the materials match your home's daily demands. Proper grout joints prevent dirt buildup and make long-term maintenance much easier for homeowners.

Layout and Transition Planning

A professional tile floor requires exact layout planning before the thin-set mortar is mixed. We measure the room to ensure symmetrical cuts along the walls and avoid narrow tile slivers that draw the eye. Transition planning is also critical where the new tile meets existing hardwood or carpet. We install the appropriate transition strips so the floor flows naturally from room to room without awkward height differences or tripping hazards. This attention to detail defines artisan tile installation and design.

The Estimate Process

We use a clear estimate checklist so you know what to expect before demolition starts. We review the room dimensions, discuss who supplies the tile, and outline the exact labor required. This prevents surprises and ensures the project stays on track.
