5.0from 12 Google reviews
Tile is the part of a renovation people see and touch every day. Done wrong, you get crooked grout lines, lippage between tiles, cracks within a year, and waterproofing that fails. Done right, it lasts decades.
We install tile of every type - ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, marble, glass - for kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, and entryways across East Village and Manhattan. Substrate prep, waterproofing, and layout planning matter as much as the tile itself. We don't skip any of it.

Tile selection
We help you pick tile from any supplier. We're honest about what's worth the price and what's overpriced. For natural stone, we order extra to dry-lay and select the best layout.
- Step 04
Substrate + waterproofing
Old material removed. Subfloor or wall checked for level, dry, and structural soundness. Schluter, Kerdi, or HardieBacker installed depending on application.
- Step 05
Set, grout, seal
Tile dry-laid first to confirm pattern. Set with proper thinset and spacers. Grouted, cleaned, and sealed. Final walk-through together - no caulk-on-grout shortcuts to hide bad cuts.

“We had them regrout both bathrooms and the kitchen floor, and they did such a clean job that we hired them to repaint the whole apartment a week later. Friendly crew, quick, and the communication was excellent — they sent updates every day. Will definitely use them again.”
