Tile Installation in Terre Haute: What We Do (and What Makes It Last)

Types of Tile We Install

We install most residential tile products, and we’ll recommend what fits the room’s wear level, water exposure, and maintenance needs.

Common materials:

• Porcelain tile (excellent durability, low absorption)
• Ceramic tile (great value for many walls and backsplashes)
• Natural stone (requires the right prep and ongoing maintenance/sealing)
• Glass and mosaic tile (best on stable surfaces, detail-focused installs)

Common Tile Problems We Prevent (So You Don’t Pay Twice)

A lot of tile failures come from shortcuts under the surface. We build to avoid the problems that cause early cracking, loosening, or water damage.

• Tile cracking at edges and doorways from missing movement joints and poor transitions
• Cracked grout caused by subfloor movement or poor underlayment choices
• Loose tile from inadequate thinset coverage or improper bonding surfaces
• Water damage behind showers from missing or incorrect waterproofing

• Loose tile from inadequate thinset coverage or improper bonding surfaces

Our Tile Installation Process

You’ll know what’s happening and what comes next.

1) Consultation and Site Check

We look at your space, measure, and check for common issues like uneven surfaces, subfloor problems, water exposure, and transition details.

2) Tile and Layout Planning

We confirm:

• Tile size and direction
• Pattern alignment (especially across long runs and focal walls)
• Grout joint size and grout type
• Trim and edge details
• Transitions to adjacent flooring or wall finishes

3) Prep and Substrate Work

This is where long-lasting installs are made. Depending on the project, prep can include:

• Subfloor repairs or reinforcement (when needed)
• Underlayment or uncoupling systems where appropriate
• Wall prep for tile-ready surfaces
• Waterproofing plan for showers and wet areas

4) Installation, Grout, and Finish Details

We install tile with proper coverage and spacing, then grout and finish edges cleanly. After cure time, we handle final caulk lines and sealing needs based on the products used.

5) Final Walkthrough and Care Guidance

We review the finished work with you, confirm cure time expectations, and explain cleaning and maintenance so it stays looking good.

How Long Does Tile Installation Take?

Timelines depend on tile type, prep needs, and cure time, but these are common ranges:

• Small backsplash: often 1 day
• Bathroom floor: often 1–2 days depending on prep and grout cure
• Shower or tub surround: often several days to 1+ week depending on waterproofing, layout complexity, and drying time
• Full multi-room floor tile: varies by square footage, prep, and transitions

If you’re in Terre Haute or nearby, we’ll give you a realistic schedule upfront so you can plan around it.

What Impacts Price on a Tile Job?

Tile pricing is mostly driven by prep work and detail level. The biggest cost factors usually include:

• Tile size and material (large-format and stone can require more surface prep)
• Surface condition (flatness, repairs, demo, old adhesive removal)
• Waterproofing scope in showers and wet areas
• Layout complexity (patterns, borders, mosaics, niches)
• Transitions and trim (doorways, edges, Schluter-style trims)
• Access and jobsite conditions (occupied home vs open work areas)

If you want a fast ballpark, we can start with photos and rough measurements, then confirm on-site for accuracy.

Repair vs Replace: What’s the Best Fix?

If you have loose tile, cracking grout, or shower leaks, the best fix depends on what’s happening underneath.

Common repair paths:

• Targeted repair (replace cracked/loose tiles): best when the rest of the installation is still solid
• Regrouting and recaulk: best for cosmetic improvements and minor maintenance issues
• Partial rebuild (sections around niches/benches or a problem wall): best when failure is localized
• Full rebuild: best when the system behind the tile is compromised, especially in wet areas

We’ll help you choose the most reliable option so you’re not paying for repeat repairs.

What you get with every tile install

• Written scope and prep plan
• Waterproofing plan for wet areas
• Clean transitions/edges and movement joints where needed
• Care instructions + workmanship warranty details
