Tile Installation : Entryways, kitchens, bathrooms, mud rooms and laundry rooms are all being installed with tile and stone flooring. The beauty and strength of tile makes it an ideal flooring choice. Many homeowners install floor tiles to maximize their own enjoyment or to get their home ready for potential buyers.

Properly done, professionally installed tile floors can last for decades and will provide a solid foundation for any home decorating scheme.

Ceramic, porcelain, travertine and marble provide considerable flexibility in design, color and style. The possibilities are truly endless!

Ceramic tile is a low-cost option with almost endless choices in color, size and quality. These tiles are generally consistent in size making them easy to install.

Porcelain is denser and more pricey than ceramic. 'Through body' porcelain tile has color through the tile, so chips are not as noticeable. Great for heavy traffic areas.

Granite is a strong igneous rock, that is made up of mica, quartz, graphite and minerals. The consistency, durability and versatility of granite keeps it in high demand.

Marble is used in many highly visible areas like entrances. Also great for bathroom wall tiles, counters and fireplaces. It is, however, too absorbent for the kitchen.

The finish given to stone tiles can add to its durability and natural beauty. It blends well with other natural building products and can be honed, polished, flamed or antiqued.

Slate, often known by its characteristic gray-blue color, also comes in a rich variety of colors that help make every slate floor installation unique.
