Tile & Backsplash Installation in Naperville, IL
Layout first. Everything else follows from it.

Tile & Backsplash
What we do, and how we do it
Good tile work is decided before any thinset is mixed. Where the first full tile lands determines where the cuts fall, whether the grout lines run true across a doorway, and whether the course at eye level is a full tile or a two-inch sliver. We dry-lay and snap our lines first, work off the most visible sightline, and put the awkward cuts where the eye does not go.
We install ceramic, porcelain, natural stone and large-format tile — kitchen backsplashes scribed to the counter, full-height shower and tub surrounds, bathroom and mudroom floors, and entry landings. Floors get a checked and flattened substrate, uncoupling membrane where the situation calls for it, and movement joints where the tile meets a wall or another material.
Our Process
Our Tile Installation Process
- 1
Check the substrate
We check the wall or floor for flat and for movement. Anything out of tolerance gets corrected before layout, not compensated for during setting.
- 2
Plan the layout
Lines snapped and tile dry-laid so cuts land out of the primary sightline and grout lines run true through doorways and corners.
- 3
Set the tile
Proper trowel and full coverage on the back of the tile, with leveling clips on large format. Spacing consistent all the way through.
- 4
Grout and seal
Grouted, cleaned back before it hazes, and changes of plane finished in color-matched silicone so they do not crack out.
