Tile Flooring Installation in Jacksonville, FL
Porcelain, large format, and wood-look plank tile. The bigger the tile, the more the prep matters.
Tile is the most permanent floor you can install and the least forgiving to get wrong. Once it is set and grouted, fixing a bad layout means breaking it out.
That is why the work happens before the tile does. We measure the room, plan the layout so the cuts land in the least visible places, and check the slab for flatness. Large format tile in particular has almost no tolerance for a wavy substrate. A 24x48 panel will lippage at every seam if the floor moves more than an eighth of an inch under it.
We use leveling systems on large format, we back-butter where the spec calls for it, and we keep the layout square to the room so long sightlines stay straight.
Options
What you can choose from
The right answer depends on the room, the traffic, and what is under the floor. We will tell you which of these fits.
Large format porcelain
Panels up to 24x48 and beyond. Fewer grout lines and a cleaner look, but the substrate has to be genuinely flat.
Wood-look plank tile
The look of hardwood with the durability of porcelain. Installed with an offset pattern suited to the plank length.
Patterned and herringbone
Herringbone, chevron, and running bond. More layout work and more cuts, and worth it in the right room.
Natural stone and slate
Including stair treads cut to fit each individual step, as we did in Beacon Hills.
Right fit
When tile makes sense
- Entryways, kitchens, and high-traffic living areas
- Homeowners who want a floor that outlasts the mortgage
- Open floor plans where large format reduces grout lines
- Stairs, landings, and transitions between materials

FAQ
Tile questions
What homeowners ask us before they commit.

Does my slab need to be leveled before tile?
It needs to be flat, which is not the same as level. A floor can slope slightly and still take tile fine. What it cannot do is undulate. For large format tile the tolerance is tight, typically an eighth of an inch over ten feet. We measure it, and if it is out we grind the high spots or patch the low ones before we set anything.
What is lippage and how do you prevent it?
Lippage is when the edge of one tile sits higher than its neighbor, so you can feel the ridge with your foot. It comes from an uneven substrate, inconsistent mortar coverage, or naturally warped tile. We control it with a flat substrate, full mortar coverage, and leveling clips that hold adjacent tiles in plane while the mortar cures.
Should I seal my grout?
Cement-based grout benefits from sealing, and resealing periodically, especially in a kitchen or bath. Epoxy grout does not need it but costs more and is harder to work. Sealing is not something we take on, so we will tell you which grout you have and what maintaining it involves, and you can handle it or bring in someone who specialises in it.
Can you tile over an existing tile floor?
It is possible if the existing tile is solidly bonded and the height increase works at doors and cabinets. But tile over tile adds weight and a second failure point. If the original is hollow-sounding or cracked, it comes out first.
