Tile installation is a craft that demands precision — perfectly level substrates, consistent grout joints, and the right setting material for each tile type. East Coast Flooring and Carpentry brings that craftsmanship to every tile project: bathroom floors, shower surrounds, kitchen backsplashes, mudrooms, sunrooms, and beyond.
Types of Tile We Install
- Ceramic — cost-effective, huge colour and pattern range, ideal for low-to-mid traffic floors and walls
- Porcelain — denser and harder than ceramic, through-body colour makes chips nearly invisible; excellent for high-traffic floors
- Large-Format Porcelain (24"×48" and up) — modern, minimal grout lines that make rooms appear larger
- Natural Stone (travertine, slate, marble, granite) — unique, one-of-a-kind appearance; requires sealing and slightly more maintenance
- Glass and Mosaic — perfect for backsplashes and decorative borders
Key Areas We Tile
- Bathroom floors and shower pans
- Full shower surrounds and tub decks
- Kitchen floors and backsplashes
- Mudrooms, laundry rooms, and entryways
- Sunrooms and covered porches
- Commercial lobbies and restrooms
Our Installation Process
Every tile job starts with thorough subfloor assessment. We flatten, level, and reinforce the substrate as needed — the most important step many contractors skip. We use polymer-modified thinset, precision laser levels, and spacers to guarantee grout joints are consistent to within 1/16". We finish with the grout colour of your choice and a professional sealer application.
Tile and LVP Together
Many of our clients tile wet areas (bathrooms, mudrooms) and use LVP throughout the rest of the home for a cohesive yet practical floor plan. We can handle both in a single project with coordinated scheduling to minimise disruption.
