Maintaining Your Tile Flooring
Proper tile maintenance protects your investment and keeps your floors looking pristine for many years. Regular care combined with preventive measures will preserve the beauty and durability of your tile installation.
Cleaning and Care Tips
We recommend sweeping or vacuuming your tile floors daily to remove loose dirt and debris that can scratch the surface. Use a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for your tile type, avoiding harsh chemicals or acidic solutions.
Daily Care:
- Sweep or vacuum regularly
- Clean spills immediately
- Use doormats at entrances
- Avoid abrasive cleaning tools
For stubborn stains, mix warm water with a gentle cleaning solution and use a soft mop. Never use steel wool or scouring powders that can damage the tile surface.
Long-Term Tile Maintenance
Professional sealing helps protect both tiles and grout from moisture penetration and staining. We suggest resealing your grout lines every 12-18 months depending on traffic and exposure.
Preventive Measures:
- Install protective pads under furniture
- Use area rugs in high-traffic zones
- Schedule annual professional deep cleaning
- Monitor for loose or cracked tiles
Check grout lines periodically for signs of wear or discoloration. Address any cracks or chips promptly to prevent water damage to the subfloor. We can repair or replace individual tiles as needed to maintain your floor's integrity.

What types of tile do you install in Nashville homes?
We install all tile varieties including ceramic, porcelain, natural stone (marble, granite, travertine, slate), glass, and cement tiles. Our selection includes options for every space and style, from rustic farmhouse looks popular in Williamson County to modern large-format tiles favored in Nashville's urban condos.

How much does professional tile installation cost in Nashville?
Tile installation in Nashville typically ranges from $8-$15 per square foot for standard ceramic or porcelain floor tile installations, including materials and labor. Natural stone installations generally range from $15-$25 per square foot. Shower tile installations typically run $12-$20 per square foot. Factors affecting cost include tile size and quality, pattern complexity, necessary subfloor preparation, and removal of existing flooring. We provide detailed, transparent estimates for all projects.
How long does tile installation take for bathrooms and kitchens?
For a standard Nashville bathroom (40-60 square feet), tile installation typically takes 3-4 days from start to finish. This includes removal of existing flooring, subfloor preparation, tile installation, grouting, and sealing. Kitchen floors (100-200 square feet) generally require 4-5 days. Shower tile installations typically take 4-5 days to complete properly, while complex projects with multiple areas or intricate patterns may require additional time.
What subfloor preparation is necessary before installing tile in Nashville homes?
Proper subfloor preparation is crucial for successful tile installation, especially in Nashville's climate with its humidity fluctuations. Our process includes removing existing flooring, inspecting for moisture issues, leveling uneven areas, and installing appropriate underlayment such as cement board or uncoupling membrane. In older Nashville homes, we often address subfloor flexibility and structural issues to prevent future tile or grout cracking. This thorough preparation is essential for a long-lasting tile installation.
Do you install heated flooring systems under tile?
Yes, we specialize in installing electric radiant heating systems beneath tile floors. These systems are particularly popular in Nashville bathroom renovations to provide comfort during winter months. We work with premium systems like Schluter-DITRA-HEAT and WarmlyYours, integrating them seamlessly with your tile installation. Heated floor systems typically add $10-$20 per square foot to the project cost, with smaller spaces like bathrooms starting around $500-$700 for the heating system.

Absolutely! We specialize in custom tile designs including herringbone, basketweave, chevron, and Versailles patterns. Our craftsmen excel at creating decorative borders, medallions, and accent features that make your space unique. We can integrate multiple tile types and sizes for truly custom looks. Many Nashville homeowners opt for statement shower niches, kitchen backsplash designs, or entryway patterns that reflect their personal style while complementing their home's architecture.
