Material Ordering and Delivery

Material ordering and delivery help that calculates quantities, checks lead times and plans staging so tile, mortar and trim arrive when the work needs them.

Tile projects stall when materials are late, short or damaged. Special-order tile can take weeks, dye lots differ from box to box and breakage happens. Homeowners in Nashville ask us to handle the ordering plan so the project starts when it should, with enough tile and the right setting materials on site.

We calculate the area, add an allowance for cuts and breakage that suits the layout and tile, and recommend extra for future repairs. We help you order from suppliers, confirm lead times and ask for tile from a single dye lot when possible. We check boxes on delivery for damage and shade variation, and we plan where materials will be stored so they stay dry and out of the way. Setting materials, grout, trim and sealers are ordered to match the tile and the project, so everything arrives together. Confirm where you will receive the delivery and who will be home. Tile boxes are heavy, so plan a clear path and a dry staging area. Keep delivery receipts and packing lists, and check boxes soon after arrival so any problems are caught quickly.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and describe the job

    You tell us the rooms, the tile you like and your timing, and we ask about the floors, walls and any water issues.

  2. 02

    Measure and plan

    We check flatness, moisture and layout from photos or a visit and talk through materials, pattern and trim.

  3. 03

    Review the estimate

    You get a plain written scope with prep, waterproofing, materials, schedule and cure times before anything is ordered.

  4. 04

    We prepare the surfaces

    Old tile comes out, floors are repaired and leveled, backer board and membranes go in and showers are waterproofed and tested.

  5. 05

    We set the tile

    Tile is set with the right mortar, checked for flatness and alignment and cut carefully at the edges.

  6. 06

    Grout, seal and walk through

    We grout, seal and caulk, clean up and walk the finished job with you, leaving written care tips and extra tile.
