Tile Repair or Installation?

Tile Repair Cons

Mismatched Repairs

Tile repair is not an easy job. Achieving a seamless look requires expertise, specific tools, training, and matching new tiles to your existing tile. If the style of your current tile is outdated and no longer available, finding a close enough match may prove to be difficult, or impossible. This can make for an especially difficult repair job, and results you may not like.

Temporary Fix

Tile floors are only as stable and durable as the flooring beneath them. Even repairs performed by an expert may only be a temporary fix. If your subflooring is unstable or there are other underlying issues with your floors, tile may shift and eventually crack. The only way to know if a subfloor is up to par is to have it inspected by a professional.

New Tile Installation Pros

New Floors!

Nothing helps revive a tired-looking home like a shiny new tile floor. Ensuring your subfloor is stable is part of our tiling services. Once we confirm your subfloor is stable, we’ll install your new tiles, grout, and seal the tile to ensure it remains durable and provides decades of enjoyment. You'll not only love how your new floor looks, when it’s time to sell, your investment in a new floor may also pay off.

Timeless Looks and Durability

Tile is available in a wide variety of styles, colors, and sizes, which make it easy to find the perfect fit for your decor. A tile floor is durable, and can last for decades. Although tile is not waterproof, it does hold up well when exposed to liquids, and heavy foot traffic. It’s also relatively easy to maintain.

Tile Installation Cons

Larger Investment

Like most home updates, going with new materials instead of refurbishing what you have usually means a larger investment. New tile installation may cost more upfront, but it’s durable and holds up well over time, which usually translates to a good return on your initial investment. .

More Time and Mess

Removing a tile floor, preparing the subfloor, installing new tiles, and sealing is time-consuming, messy, and very labor intensive. While Mr. Handyman approaches every tile job with experience and a proven plan of action, we know each project is unique. If your tile floor installation requires structural or subfloor repair, the job will usually take longer and may get a little messier! No matter what condition your floors are in, we can fix it and get the job done right without wasting time.

Tile Floor Installation and Repair Services

Tile floor installation requires proper subfloor preparation to prevent water and structural damage, and to ensure a long-lasting floor. We make sure the foundation for your new floor is solid before the first tile is installed. . Once the tile is laid, and mortar has set, we grout the tile . Since grout needs a few weeks to cure completely, we’ll come back and apply a grout sealant, to prevent stains and water intrusion.
