Our Tile Installation Process

At 616 Custom Construction, we keep tile projects simple, organized, and built to last. From the first walkthrough to the final cleanup, we focus on clear communication, solid prep, and clean installation so your shower, bathroom floor, or tile surface looks great and performs for years.

Design Walkthrough & Detailed Quote

We start with an on-site walkthrough to measure the space, review tile style, layout, grout, and trim details, and check the condition of the shower or floor substrate. Then we provide a clear quote and realistic timeline so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.

1

Surface Prep & Precision Installation

Before any tile goes down, we handle proper surface prep, leveling, waterproofing for showers, and underlayment as needed to create a strong base. We then set tile with careful spacing, straight lines, and clean cuts around corners, drains, and edges for a polished finish.

2

Final Grout, Sealing & Walkthrough

Once the tile is set, we complete grout work, apply sealers when needed, and clean the area so the finished surface is ready to use on schedule. We finish with a full walkthrough to answer questions, confirm every detail, and make sure you are fully satisfied with the result.

FAQs

Tile Installation FAQs

Common questions homeowners ask us about shower tile, floor tile, backsplashes, repairs, and full tile remodeling.

  • What tile services do you offer?

    We handle tile installation for showers, bathroom floors, kitchen floors, backsplashes, tub surrounds, entryways, and other interior spaces. We also help with tile replacement, retiling during remodels, and correcting failed tile work. If you want a clean, durable finish, we can help.

  • How do I know if my shower or floor needs new tile?

    Cracked tiles, loose pieces, missing grout, soft spots, leaks, and staining are all warning signs. In showers, water damage behind the tile is a common issue. We inspect the surface and underlying condition so you know whether a repair makes sense or a full replacement is the better option.

  • How long does a tile project usually take?

    Most tile timelines depend on the size of the space, tile type, layout, demolition needs, and surface prep. A small floor or backsplash may move quickly, while a custom shower takes longer. We give you a clear schedule upfront so you know what to expect before work begins.

  • Can you help me choose the right tile and layout?

    Yes. We help homeowners choose tile that fits their style, budget, and daily use. We can guide you on material options, slip resistance, grout color, pattern layout, and maintenance needs. Our goal is to help you avoid costly mistakes and get a finished look you will enjoy for years.

  • Will you prepare the surface properly before installing tile?

    Absolutely. Good tile work starts with solid prep. We make sure the subfloor, backer board, shower area, and other surfaces are flat, stable, and ready for installation. Proper preparation helps prevent cracked tile, drainage problems, uneven surfaces, and other issues that shorten the life of the job.

Why homeowners recommend us

Real feedback on tile work, clear communication, and results that hold up over time

Absolutely loved working with 616 Custom Construction! They are so easy to work with, straight forward and the work was better than I expected! All the guys working were incredibly respectful of myself and my family including minimal noise and proximity to our daily activities (i.e. leaving the house, parking) I'm looking forward to the next time I hire them to help me improve my home's features!
