Where we install tile flooring
Tile flooring performs differently in a bathroom than in a kitchen or living area. We plan each project around the specific demands of the space — moisture, traffic, subfloor condition, and the finish you want.
Wet-area tile floors require proper waterproofing, slope, and slip-resistant surface selection. We build the substrate correctly before a single tile is set.
A floor that stays beautiful and safe for years.
Discuss this project
Kitchen floors take daily punishment. We select materials and adhesives rated for the load, then lay them to a layout that works with your cabinetry and appliances.
A durable, easy-to-clean floor that anchors the room.
Discuss this project
Large-format tile in living areas and entryways creates a seamless, open feel. We plan the layout from the center of the room so cuts are balanced and the pattern reads correctly.
A floor that makes the whole space feel larger and more refined.
Discuss this projectThe ParagonCA standard
Most tile failures trace back to what happened before the first tile was set. Substrate preparation, layout planning, and material selection determine whether a floor lasts five years or fifty.
The foundation everything depends on
We evaluate and correct the subfloor before installation begins — addressing deflection, moisture, and levelness so the tile has a stable, lasting base.
Centered, balanced, intentional
We dry-lay the pattern from the room's focal point so cuts fall symmetrically, grout lines align with walls and fixtures, and the finished floor looks deliberate.
Right tile for the right room
Porcelain, natural stone, ceramic, and large-format tiles each behave differently. We match the material to the room's moisture level, traffic, and design intent.
Precision at every step
Proper trowel technique, full mortar coverage, consistent joint spacing, and correctly mixed grout — every step executed to the same standard, every time.

What homeowners say
“The tile work throughout our bathroom is stunning. Every line is straight, every cut is clean. It looks like a magazine photo and it has held up perfectly.”

Frequently asked questions
Cost depends on the room size, subfloor condition, tile material, pattern complexity, and any prep work required. Bathroom tile floors typically start around $4,800; kitchen and living area projects vary based on square footage and material selection. We provide a written estimate after evaluating the space.
Porcelain and natural stone are the most common choices for bathroom floors. Porcelain is dense, low-maintenance, and available in a wide range of finishes. Natural stone adds warmth and character but requires sealing. We help you select the right material for your design goals and maintenance preferences.
Tile is rigid. If the subfloor flexes, moves, or has moisture issues, the tile and grout will crack — often within a year or two. Proper substrate preparation is the most important step in a lasting tile floor installation.
Yes. Large-format tile — 24x24 or larger — can actually make a small bathroom feel more open by reducing the number of grout lines. The key is careful layout planning so cuts are balanced and the pattern reads correctly in the space.
A standard bathroom tile floor typically takes two to four days including substrate prep, setting, and grouting. Larger rooms or complex patterns take longer. We set a clear schedule before work begins.
Yes. We remove existing flooring, assess the substrate condition, and handle disposal as part of the project scope. The condition of what is underneath affects the final estimate.
Porcelain is denser, harder, and more water-resistant than ceramic — making it the better choice for wet areas and high-traffic floors. Ceramic is a good option for lower-traffic dry areas where budget is a priority. We recommend the right material for each specific application.
Most tile flooring replacements do not require permits. Projects that involve structural subfloor repairs, plumbing changes, or electrical modifications may require permits depending on the scope. We evaluate permit needs as part of the planning process.
