Bathroom Tile Installation — Waterproof Showers, Floors & Accent Walls
We build watertight bathrooms using liquid membranes and mold-resistant epoxy grout. Methods reference the TCNA Handbook and ASTM C920 (sealants) for long-term moisture protection. According to Zillow, updated bathrooms can add 10–20% to resale value.
Heat-Resistant Kitchen Backsplash Installation
We specify nano-coated porcelain and vitrified mosaics—non-porous, stain-resistant, and easy to clean—for busy kitchens facing heat, oils, and acidic splashes. CNC precision cuts, minimal grout lines, and sealed surfaces deliver hygiene and a high-end finish. For ideas, see kitchen trends (Houzz) and HGTV kitchen ideas.
Shower Walls with Liquid Membrane and Epoxy Grout
Our shower installations feature advanced liquid waterproofing membranes combined with epoxy grout for maximum protection against moisture and mold. This system creates a completely watertight barrier that prevents leaks and extends the life of your shower. The epoxy grout provides superior stain resistance and durability compared to traditional grout options.
