Before We Quote

What matters before porcelain tile installation

These are the details that help us quote properly and avoid surprises once work starts.

Porcelain is dense and low-absorption, but it needs the correct adhesive, cuts, and surface prep.

Large porcelain tiles need careful handling and level control.

Wet areas, floors, and walls each need different preparation.
