Ideal for walls and low-to-medium traffic floors. Ceramic is versatile, comes in thousands of styles, and is more budget-friendly than porcelain. Great for backsplashes and decorative accents.
The "Gold Standard" for moisture resistance and durability. Porcelain is fired at higher temperatures, making it denser and less porous. Essential for shower floors and high-traffic entryways in Georgia homes.
For those seeking a timeless, unique look. We install marble, slate, travertine, and granite. Note that stone requires professional sealing and periodic maintenance to protect against staining.
A standard bathroom floor (50-100 sq ft) in Athens typically takes 2 to 3 days from demolition to final sealing. A custom kitchen backsplash usually takes 1 day for installation and a brief follow-up visit for grouting. We allow for proper mortar curing times to ensure a lifetime bond.
Labor costs for tile installation in Athens generally range from $8 to $15 per square foot, depending on the tile size and design complexity (like herringbone patterns). Intricate mosaic work or large-format porcelain tiles may require higher precision and time. We provide free, on-site quotes.
Porcelain tile is the "Gold Standard" for Athens bathrooms due to its extremely low porosity and high durability. Unlike ceramic, porcelain resists moisture absorption, making it ideal for shower floors and high-humidity environments. For master baths, we recommend slip-resistant finishes.
Grout usually cracks due to subfloor movement or improper thin-set coverage. While we can remove and replace cracked grout, we first inspect the underlying structure. If the subfloor is bouncing, we reinforce the joists before re-tiling to prevent the issue from recurring.
We are a Faith-Driven company. This means we treat your home as if it were our own. The S.M.A.R.T. Difference stands for Service, Mentorship, Accountability, Respect, and Truth. When we say we'll install it right, we mean it.
