Plan first
Decide on layout, fixtures and tile before demolition. Late changes cause delays and extra cost.
Gather samples, fixture specs and measurements.
Use our planning tools to organize the scope.
Order early
Tile and glass can take weeks. Order everything, plus extra, from the same lot when possible.
Check boxes on arrival.
Store tile flat and dry.
Sequence the trades
Demolition, plumbing and electrical come first, then backing and waterproofing, then tile, grout, fixtures, glass and paint.
Heated floors go in before tile.
We coordinate with your other trades.
Protect the home
Dust, water and foot traffic are real concerns. Walls, floors and doorways are covered, and work areas are sealed when possible.
Plan for limited bathroom or kitchen use.
Pets and kids need clear boundaries.
Expect surprises
Old homes may hide rot, old plumbing or uneven floors. A contingency in time and budget keeps stress down.
We show you what we find and explain options.
Decisions made calmly cost less than rushed ones.
Finish well
Grout, caulk and sealing finish the surface, and cure times protect it. Fixtures, glass and accessories go in last.
A walkthrough catches small items.
Keep extra tile, care notes and product names together.
Choose and order everything before demolition, and give the tile time to cure before the room goes back into use.
