Why hire a CTEF Certified tile installer?

Most tile failures come from what you can't see — waterproofing and substrate prep. A CTEF Certified Tile Installer is tested hands-on to the industry's recognized standard. The CTI program is backed by leading manufacturers (LATICRETE, MAPEI, Schluter), and we install with their professional-grade systems — the difference between tile that lasts 5 years and tile that lasts 20+.

100% of materials + 25% of labor

Estimate disclaimer. This online figure is a preliminary, non-binding estimate based on standard conditions and the information you provided. Base tile pricing includes installation labor, thinset, and standard cement-based grout. All plumbing is scoped at the in-person appointment. Final price is set in a written quote after a free on-site assessment and may fall outside the range shown due to unforeseen or extreme conditions — substrate/structural repair, moisture or mold, demolition surprises, uneven floors, access limits, material availability, or selected upgrades. No work begins until you review and approve a final written quote. Deposit & cancellation: once you approve a written contract and pay a deposit, that deposit reserves your start date and pays for materials we order for your job. After a 3-business-day right to cancel, the deposit is largely non-refundable — it covers ordered materials (charged at cost) and the scheduled time we hold for you (lost-opportunity cost) — as detailed in our Deposit & Cancellation Policy.
