Where Can I Install Tile & Stone?
Tile and stone flooring can add a distinctive, unique look to you home. Whether you choose a a rustic fossilized stone for an outdoor area or a polished marble look for an ornate bathroom, rest assured that you are making the right decision.

Tile is made from natural and organic materials and is one of the heaviest forms of flooring that can be installed in your home. Because of this, tile needs to be installed on a solid subfloor to prevent cracking and damage. To ensure proper installation you must have either a level and flat concrete subfloor or use cement backer board provide a stable surface. Cracks and imperfections in the subfloor can cause problems over time.
