We match the prep to the material so it lasts

Each surface needs different prep, adhesives, and expansion plans. We check moisture, level surfaces, and use the right underlayment before setting tile or flooring.

  • Porcelain and ceramic: leveling, uncoupling, and full mortar coverage to prevent lippage and hollow spots
  • Natural stone and mosaics: sealing, careful cutting, and mortar suited to the stone
  • Engineered hardwood: acclimation, moisture checks, and trim carpentry for tight transitions
  • Luxury vinyl plank: flat substrates, sound mats where needed, and gap planning for clean seams
  • Laminate and floating systems: underlayment selection and expansion gaps to avoid buckling

Not sure which material fits your space. We compare durability, maintenance, and cost during your consultation so you can choose with a clear head.

New installs or replacements without the usual mess

Whether you are starting from a bare subfloor or removing failed finishes, we plan dust control, demo, and prep before we lay a single tile or plank.

Phase 1

New installation

Our Role

Measure, plan layouts, confirm patterns, and pick the right membranes or underlayment so the finish sits flat and stays put.

Designer's Role

Bring your ideas or inspiration. We will align grout lines, plank direction, and trims with your plan.

Output

Surface prep, waterproofing or vapor protection, and clean installation with one warranty covering the work.

Phase 2

Replacement and remediation

Our Role

Identify why the old floor failed, remove it with dust control, fix the substrate, and rebuild with the right prep.

Designer's Role

Decide if we match existing areas or update the whole room. We source replacements or closest matches when originals are discontinued.

Output

Rebuilt base, proper membranes or barriers, and new finishes installed to manufacturer guidance.

Why designers trust this workflow

  • Dust controlled demo and debris removal
  • Level, reinforced substrates that stop cracking, cupping, or squeaks
  • Moisture and waterproofing handled before finishes go down
  • One 2 year workmanship warranty that covers prep and install

Success Rate

2 Year Warranty

We follow Canada standard guidance (TTMAC and NWFA) to ensure our work lasts.

Prep that keeps tile and flooring from failing later

We do the slow steps first so you avoid cracked tile, loose grout, or gapped floors.

Level and grind surfaces

Self leveling and grinding remove dips and peaks so tile and floating floors sit flat.

Waterproof and control moisture

Membranes and vapor barriers protect showers, baths, basements, and slabs from moisture.

Use the right underlayment

Uncoupling, cement board, or acoustic mats keep movement from telegraphing into the finish.

Plan adhesion and expansion

Correct trowel sizes, back buttering, and expansion gaps keep finishes bonded without seasonal issues.

Kitchen tile layout planning in Mississauga

Layout planning before a single cut

We map tile direction, plank staggering, grout colors, trims, and transitions before install so you do not end up with awkward cuts or misaligned seams.

Careful planning keeps feature walls centered, seams random, and transitions smooth between rooms.

Bring your design ideas or let us suggest options that balance slip resistance, durability, upkeep, and cost.

What makes our flooring and tile work hold up

Straightforward habits that prevent callbacks.

We use the right tools, follow manufacturer guidance, and keep sites clean so your floors and tile stay tight and level.

Laser leveling and moisture checks

No lippage, cupping, or hollow sounds

We confirm flatness and moisture so finishes sit right and stay that way.

Full adhesion

Surfaces stay tight under daily traffic

Back buttering and correct trowels keep tile bonded and planks secure.

Planned transitions

Clean, even transitions between rooms

Movement joints and trims prevent trip hazards and seasonal gaps.

Clean finishing

Even lines and protected surfaces

Grout, sealers, and punch lists are handled before we call it done.

Our 2 year workmanship warranty reflects the prep and care in each job.

We document prep and finishes with photos so you know what is behind the tile or floor.

Common flooring and tile problems we fix

Targeted repairs to stop issues without redoing the whole space.

Tiles keep cracking

Pro Tip:Use uncoupling over wood subfloors and confirm coverage before setting tile.

What usually happens

Often caused by movement, missing membranes, or weak mortar coverage.
Our fix
Remove damaged tiles, reinforce the substrate, add an uncoupling membrane, and reset with full coverage and expansion joints.

Grout is dark or moldy

Pro Tip:Ventilate baths, seal grout where required, and keep caulking maintained.

What usually happens

Moisture and poor ventilation let mold grow behind grout.
Our fix
Remove bad grout, treat the area, rebuild waterproofing if needed, and regrout with sealed, mold resistant products.

Floors feel spongy or squeak

Pro Tip:Address squeaks before installing new flooring to avoid opening it back up.

What usually happens

Weak subfloors, missing fasteners, or gaps cause bounce and noise.
Our fix
Tighten or replace subfloor, add fasteners or leveling, then reinstall flooring with proper underlayment.

Gaps and lifting at transitions

Pro Tip:Plan transitions early, especially between tile and hardwood or vinyl.

What usually happens

No expansion planning or poor trim selection leads to gaps and trip points.
Our fix
Rebuild the transition with the right profile or reducer and set correct gaps to handle movement.

Tile and flooring questions we hear all the time

Plain answers before you commit to a project.

1
Can you match existing tile or hardwood for repairs
We try to source the same product first. If it is discontinued, we find the closest match and adjust layout or trims so it blends in. You approve before we proceed.
2
Can you regrout, reseal, or refinish instead of replacing
Yes. If the surface is sound we can regrout, reseal stone, refinish engineered hardwood, or replace select planks to refresh the look without a full replacement.
3
How do you handle uneven subfloors or moisture
We level, reinforce, and add vapor or waterproofing as needed before installation. Moisture readings guide the plan so problems do not come back.
4
Do you handle residential and commercial projects
Yes. Homes, restaurants, retail, offices, and clinics. We adjust scheduling and protection for each setting and carry WSIB and liability coverage.
5
Do I need to leave during installation
Most homeowners stay. We isolate work zones, manage noise windows, and keep paths clean. For full main floor replacements we can phase work or plan while you are away.
6
What areas of the Greater Toronto Area do you serve
Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, and nearby GTA cities. Ask if you are unsure about your area.
