Got any questions? We’ve got the answers. Below, you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions we get from our clients. If you don’t see your question, feel free to reach out—we’re always happy to provide more details!

How do I prepare for the initial consultation and site visit?

Please have a general idea of the spaces you'd like tiled, along with any inspiration photos or preferences. Access to the areas for measurement is important, and if plans or drawings are available, have those ready too.

What’s included in the estimate I receive?

Our detailed estimate includes labor, tile quantities, setting materials, and notes on prep work or specialty items. If your project scope hasn’t changed, the quantities listed can be used to place your tile order.

Do you help with tile selection or sourcing?

Yes. While we don’t sell tile directly, we’re happy to recommend trusted local suppliers in Chattanooga. If your tile is sourced locally, we can often pick up and deliver it as part of the service.

How much extra tile should I order?

We recommend at least 10% overage for pattern layouts, cutting waste, breakage, and future repairs. This is a standard practice to help prevent delays or mismatches.

How soon can the installation start after I approve the estimate?

We’ll schedule your project based on current availability and material readiness. Once a start date is confirmed, we’ll guide you through what to expect during installation.

Will I be without access to the area being tiled during installation?

Yes. To ensure quality and safety, we ask that the installation area remain undisturbed throughout the process, including curing time for setting materials and grout.

How long will the installation take?

This depends on the size and complexity of your project. We’ll provide an estimated timeline during the planning phase, and keep you updated throughout the process.

What happens if unexpected issues come up during installation?

If we uncover substrate issues, moisture concerns, or other unforeseen problems, we’ll stop and consult with you right away. We’ll never proceed without your approval.

What kind of care does my new tile need?

We provide cleaning and maintenance tips at project completion. Use a pH-neutral cleaner, avoid harsh chemicals, and squeegee showers daily to extend the life of your tile.

Is my installation covered by a warranty?

Yes. We stand behind our work with a lifetime workmanship warranty for the original homeowner. If you ever experience a tile failure related to our installation, we’ll make it right.
