Tile contracting services in St. Clair, Michigan

Overview

Our firm provides professional tile installation, repair and maintenance across St. Clair, MI. We handle floor and wall tile, bathroom and kitchen projects, backsplashes, entryways, and commercial flooring. Projects are executed with industry-standard materials and on-site quality control. We coordinate site assessment, material selection, surface preparation, installation, and final inspection.

Commitment to local building codes and practical solutions sets the approach for every job. We prioritize long-term performance and maintain clear documentation for warranties and aftercare recommendations.

Services

Core services we offer:

• New tile installation — porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, and large-format tile.
• Tile replacement and matching for existing installations.
• Grout cleaning, grout repair, and grout sealing to extend service life.
• Substrate preparation and leveling to eliminate lippage and prevent cracking.
• Moisture mitigation for bathrooms, wet areas and exterior applications.
• Commercial tile solutions for retail, offices, and light industrial spaces.

We also coordinate with other trades: plumbing for wet-area access, carpentry for trim and threshold adjustments, and electricians for integrated heating systems. This coordination reduces rework and shortens project timelines.

Project approach

Each engagement begins with a site visit to assess conditions and confirm scope. We outline a work plan, provide a transparent estimate, and present a straightforward timeline. Preparation includes removing unsuitable substrate, correcting floor flatness, and ensuring proper waterproofing where required. Installations use approved thin-set mortars and industry-recommended spacers and joint treatments. After installation, we perform a full inspection and issue care instructions so the owner can maintain appearance and performance.

Materials and standards

We select materials based on use-case, traffic load, and environmental exposure. Where applicable, we use rectified tiles and specific grout types that match thermal and movement characteristics. Adhesives, membranes and grouts are chosen for durability and warranty compatibility. Work follows ANSI and TCNA guidelines for tile installation practices.

Schedule and milestones

Project schedules identify key milestones: demolition and prep, substrate correction, tile setting, grout application and cure, and final inspection. Each milestone includes estimated durations and any site access requirements. For occupied homes, we provide protective measures and daily clean-up to minimize inconvenience.

Why clients choose us

Clients value clear communication, punctual scheduling, and consistent workmanship. Our teams maintain clean job sites, protect surrounding finishes, and minimize disruption. We provide realistic timelines and stick to them. For commercial clients, we offer flexible scheduling to avoid business interruptions.

Quality assurance

Quality assurance includes layered checks during layout, after setting and post-grouting. We document work stages with photos and sign-offs. If a follow-up is required, we respond promptly to address concerns and ensure long-term satisfaction.

Warranty and service

Work includes a workmanship warranty and guidance on manufacturer-specified product warranties. We offer scheduled maintenance visits for grout sealing or inspection where a property owner requests ongoing upkeep. Emergency repairs are also available for issues like cracked tiles or loose adhesive.

Typical project types

Representative projects include:

• Residential kitchens and bathrooms — full remodels and partial updates.
• Entry floors and mudrooms — durable installations to handle heavy traffic.
• Outdoor patios and steps — frost-resistant tile systems with correct drainage.
• Commercial retail floors — slip-resistance and load-capacity planning.
• Institutional and civic spaces — ADA-compliant tile layouts and detectable warning surfaces.

Each project is treated individually; choices that work for a kitchen floor may not be suitable for an exterior terrace. We test and confirm material suitability before proceeding.

Case study

Maintenance and long-term care

Proper cleaning and occasional resealing preserve appearance and performance. Avoid acidic cleaners on natural stone and use manufacturer-recommended products for sealed grouts. We provide a maintenance checklist at project completion covering cleaning frequency, approved cleaning agents, and resealing intervals where appropriate.

Routine inspections every 1–3 years can identify grout wear or joint movement before it becomes a larger repair. Small corrective actions are typically more economical than full replacement.

Pricing and estimates

Estimates are based on material selection, site preparation and square footage. We provide itemized quotes so clients see labor, materials, and any additional prep work required. A written estimate includes payment terms and warranty information. Small jobs and repair calls are quoted at a competitive hourly or flat rate; larger remodels receive a fixed-price proposal following layout and material choices.

Upfront line items help owners control budget choices — for example, selecting tile grade, grout type, or extra substrate preparation affects the final cost. We explain each option and its impact on durability and appearance.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical installation take?

Installation time depends on scope. A single bathroom floor or backsplash often completes within a few days. Larger projects with substrate correction and curing times can take one to two weeks. We provide a project schedule with every estimate.

Do you handle waterproofing?

Yes. We install industry-appropriate membranes and water-control systems where wet-area standards require them. Proper installation prevents long-term moisture damage.

Is tile suitable for heated floors?

Tile performs well with in-floor heating. We coordinate with electrical or hydronic heating installers and follow manufacturer guidance on thin-set and movement joints to ensure reliable performance.
