Material Sourcing
Bring your own tile, or let us source it.
Either option works. Many clients prefer to select their own tile from showrooms or online sources. We can also handle material sourcing and selection through our design consultation service if preferred.
For shower and wet-area installations, we recommend full demolition of the existing surface for proper waterproofing and longevity. For some floor and wall applications, tile-over-tile can work if the existing surface is sound — we assess that at the estimate stage.
From Tyler
I lay out every tile job before we cut a single piece. Pattern decisions, transitions, niches, waterproofing — those are calls I make on site, not a sub-handed-off detail. We finish your tile install before we start the next one. That is the whole reason the lines stay straight and the grout joints stay consistent across the whole job.
Common Questions

We install bathroom tile, shower tile, kitchen backsplashes, feature walls, and floor tile. We specialize in large-format tile, geometric patterns, porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone. We do both standard installations and intricate pattern work.
How much does professional tile installation cost in the Sarasota area?
+
Tile installation pricing depends on tile type, square footage, and pattern complexity. Standard installations typically run $8 to $15 per square foot for labor. Large-format tile, geometric layouts, and intricate patterns are priced higher due to the additional time and precision required. We provide fixed estimates after seeing the space.
Do you supply the tile or does the homeowner?
+
Either option works. Many clients prefer to select their own tile from showrooms or online sources. We can also handle material sourcing and selection through our design consultation service if preferred.
Can you install tile over existing tile or do you need to remove the old surface?
+
It depends on the substrate. In most bathroom and shower installations, we recommend full demolition for waterproofing and longevity. For some floor applications and certain wall installations, tile-over-tile can work if the existing surface is sound. We assess this during the estimate.
How long does a tile installation take?
+
A kitchen backsplash typically takes 2 to 3 days. A standard shower install runs 5 to 7 days including waterproofing and grout cure time. Full bathroom floor and shower installations can take 1 to 2 weeks depending on complexity.
