Flatness assessment
Ten-foot straightedge over the whole floor before quoting, so prep is in the price.
Large-format porcelain, wood-look plank and ceramic flooring installed over properly prepared slabs — flat, tight and without the lippage you feel through bare feet.
Porcelain is the default floor in South Florida for good reasons — it is dense, effectively waterproof, indifferent to humidity and easy to live with. But the tiles have got dramatically bigger over the last decade, and a 24x48 plank exposes a floor's flatness in a way that a 12x12 never did.
The industry standard for large-format tile allows about 1/8 inch of variation over ten feet. Most South Florida slabs do not arrive anywhere near that. So the first day on a large-format job is usually not tiling at all: it is straightedging the room, grinding the humps and pouring self-levelling compound into the hollows. Skip that step and you get lippage — edges standing proud of each other, catching light, catching toes, and impossible to fix afterwards without pulling the floor.
We check every floor with a ten-foot straightedge before we quote, so the prep is priced honestly up front rather than appearing as a change order halfway through. Depending on what we find that means grinding, patching, or a self-levelling pour — and we tell you which, and why, before you commit.
Where the new floor meets carpet, a slider, a bathroom or an existing floor at a different height, we use proper metal or stone profiles rather than a smear of grout. Where it runs onto stairs, we use bullnose or stair-nose pieces so the edge is finished and safe.

Humps ground down, hollows filled, floor brought inside large-format tolerance.
Back-buttered tiles, lippage clips and a layout planned to hide cuts.
Colour-matched grout, silicone at the perimeter and proper transition profiles.
The same process on a single bathroom or a whole-house floor. You always know what is happening next.
We come out, measure the real space, check the substrate and give you a written price. Not a guess over the phone.
We dry-lay the pattern, set the starting line and confirm grout colour and trim with you before a single tile is bonded.
Floors protected, dust controlled, cuts made outside. We work full days and tell you the moment anything changes.
We grout, seal, silicone the movement joints and walk the job with you. Nothing is finished until you say it is.
Porcelain is fired denser and absorbs less than 0.5 percent water, which makes it harder, more durable and safe for outdoor and wet areas. Ceramic is softer, easier to cut and cheaper, and is perfectly good on walls and in lower-traffic interior rooms. In South Florida we recommend porcelain for almost all floors.
The good ones do, at normal viewing distance — and unlike wood they do not care about humidity, water or a dog. The single biggest factor is the offset: planks laid at a 50 percent offset show lippage badly because plank tiles crown slightly in the middle. We lay them at a one-third offset, which is what the manufacturers themselves recommend.
Yes, with the right build-up — an uncoupling membrane or cement board over a stiff enough subfloor. It is less common in South Florida where most homes are on slab, but we do it and we do it correctly.
With rectified tile on a properly prepared floor, joints of around 1/16 to 1/8 inch are achievable. On non-rectified tile the joint has to be wider to absorb size variation between tiles. Anyone promising hairline joints on non-rectified tile is setting you up for a wavy floor.
Yes, we handle moving normal furniture and appliances as part of the job. Very large or fragile items — pianos, aquariums, art — we will ask you to arrange separately.

A new floor makes everything it touches look older. Skirting, thresholds, a tired bathroom or a dated splash are worth handling in the same visit.
