Wall tile installation in Tampa Bay starts at $12 per square foot for labor. The final price depends on tile size, material, and pattern complexity. Simple subway tile backsplashes are typically at the lower end; large-format marble or intricate mosaic patterns are higher. Shower builds may include additional costs for cement board, waterproofing membrane, and floor sloping — all disclosed in your free estimate. We provide written quotes before any work begins. No hidden fees.
We are a labor-only company — we install the tile you supply. We're happy to advise on quantity, material selection, and sourcing, but the tile purchase is typically handled by you directly from your preferred supplier. This keeps costs transparent and gives you full control over your materials budget. We'll give you an accurate square footage estimate so you know exactly how much to buy.
Our wall tile pricing includes all labor for installation — tile layout, cutting, setting, grouting, and cleanup. Substrate preparation (cement board installation), waterproofing membrane, niche framing, and bench construction are add-ons quoted separately and disclosed upfront. Grout selection consultation and a final sealing are included on most projects.
A standard kitchen backsplash typically takes 1–2 days. A full shower build with waterproofing, mud floor, and full tile can take 4–7 days depending on complexity. Bathroom walls generally run 2–4 days. We'll give you a project timeline in your estimate so you can plan accordingly. We work efficiently and cleanly to minimize disruption to your home.
Yes — proper waterproofing is essential for any shower build and we handle it as part of our full shower installations. We install cement board substrate, apply waterproofing membrane at all seams and penetrations, and slope the shower floor toward the drain. These components are priced separately from tile labor and quoted explicitly in your estimate. This is non-negotiable for a lasting, leak-free shower.
Absolutely. Large format tile is one of our specialties. We use back-buttering techniques and appropriate thinset to ensure full coverage and prevent lippage (uneven edges). Large format walls require more precise substrate preparation and leveling — all handled by our experienced team. Pricing for large format tile may be slightly higher due to the additional labor involved.
Yes, we offer tile demolition and removal as part of our service. Old tile removal is quoted separately as it depends on tile thickness, adhesive type, and substrate condition. We assess the existing surface before quoting removal to give you an accurate cost. In some cases, tiling over existing tile is an option — we'll advise you on the best approach for your specific situation.

Floor tile installation in Tampa Bay starts at $4 per square foot for labor on a basic straight lay. Large format tile (24×24 and up) typically starts at $6/sq ft due to additional leveling and handling requirements. Pattern layouts (herringbone, diagonal, chevron) and natural stone floors are quoted based on complexity. Subfloor preparation, demolition of existing flooring, and transition strips are quoted separately and disclosed in writing before any work begins.
We are a labor-only company — we install the flooring materials you purchase. We're happy to advise on quantity, quality, and sourcing, and can recommend local suppliers for ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and hardwood. This gives you full control over your materials budget and keeps our pricing transparent. We'll calculate exact square footage including waste factor so you buy the right amount.
Our floor tile pricing includes all labor — layout planning, cutting, setting, leveling, grouting, and cleanup. Subfloor assessment and minor leveling is often included. Major subfloor work, old flooring removal, backer board installation, and transition strips are add-ons quoted separately and clearly disclosed upfront. No surprises after we start.
A standard 300–500 sq ft floor tile installation typically takes 2–4 days including setting and grouting cure time. Large format tile projects may run 3–5 days due to additional leveling. Hardwood installation for an average room runs 1–2 days. We'll give you a realistic project timeline in your estimate so you can plan accordingly.
Yes — we offer old flooring removal as part of our service. Demo is quoted separately and depends on existing flooring type (tile, hardwood, vinyl), adhesive, and subfloor condition. In some cases, new tile can be installed over existing tile if the substrate is sound and height allows — we'll assess and advise the best approach for your specific situation.
Absolutely — large format floor tile is one of our specialties. It requires a perfectly flat subfloor (we use self-leveling compound and floor grinders), back-buttering technique for full mortar coverage, and lippage control systems during installation. We use rectified tile methods for minimal grout lines. Large format is priced higher than standard tile due to the additional labor and precision involved.
Yes — we install solid hardwood (nail-down), engineered hardwood (glue-down or float), and wood-look porcelain plank tile. We handle stair noses, thresholds, and transitions between floor types. Wood-look porcelain is a popular option in Florida for its dimensional stability in humid conditions — we can advise on the best choice for your specific space and lifestyle.

Vinyl and laminate installation in Tampa Bay starts at $2.50 per square foot for labor on a basic floating install. Final price depends on product type, subfloor condition, and layout complexity. Subfloor leveling, moisture barrier installation, old flooring removal, and transition strips are quoted separately and disclosed upfront. We provide written estimates before any work begins.
LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) mimics the look of hardwood in a 100% waterproof plank format — ideal for any room including kitchens and bathrooms. LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) mimics stone and tile in a 100% waterproof tile format — great for bathrooms and laundry rooms. Laminate is a wood-composite product with a photographic wear layer — beautiful and durable but not fully waterproof, making it better suited for dry areas like bedrooms and living rooms. We'll help you pick the right product for your specific space.
Yes — quality LVP and LVT have a 100% waterproof core that won't swell, warp, or absorb moisture. This makes them ideal for Florida homes where humidity and spills are facts of life. However, proper installation still matters: expansion gaps must be maintained, subfloor moisture issues must be addressed beforehand, and standing water should never be left at seams long-term. We assess and address subfloor moisture before every install.
We are a labor-only company — we install the flooring you purchase. We're happy to advise on product selection, wear layer thickness, brand recommendations, and quantity. You purchase directly from your preferred supplier, which gives you full control over your materials budget. We'll calculate the exact square footage including waste factor so you buy the right amount.
Most LVP and laminate installs move quickly — a typical 500–800 sq ft floating floor takes 1–2 days. Glue-down LVT may take a bit longer due to adhesive cure time. Subfloor prep, old flooring removal, and transition installation add time and are factored into your project estimate. We'll give you a realistic timeline before we start.
Yes — we offer old flooring removal as a separate quoted add-on. In some cases, floating LVP can be installed over existing hard flooring if it's flat and structurally sound — we'll assess and advise the best approach. We never install over flooring that will cause height, moisture, or stability issues.
It depends on the product and subfloor. Concrete subfloors almost always require a moisture barrier in Florida. Some LVP products come with an attached underlayment that handles this. Laminate flooring always requires a moisture barrier over concrete. We assess your subfloor and moisture conditions before installation and include the appropriate barrier in our quote where needed.

Yes — we serve both residential and commercial clients throughout Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida. Commercial projects include offices, restaurants, retail stores, medical facilities, hotels, multi-family residential buildings, schools, and churches. We provide detailed written bids and can work around your business schedule including evenings and weekends.
Commercial flooring is always priced on a custom quote basis — square footage, product spec, subfloor conditions, access requirements, and scheduling complexity all factor into the final price. Starting prices for commercial LVP are similar to residential ($2.50+/sq ft for labor) but projects are priced as a package including all site-specific requirements. We provide written itemized bids before any work begins.
Absolutely — this is one of our most common commercial requests. We regularly schedule commercial flooring installations during evenings, weekends, and phased installs to minimize disruption to your staff, customers, and operations. After-hours scheduling is factored into your project quote upfront.
We install commercial-grade LVP and LVT (20-mil+ wear layer), porcelain and ceramic floor tile (PEI 4–5 rated), sheet vinyl (including welded seams for healthcare applications), large format tile (up to 48×48), and custom/specialty tile layouts. We work with your product specification or can recommend products appropriate for your application and traffic level.
Yes — we provide certificates of insurance naming your business or property as an additional insured upon request. We carry comprehensive commercial general liability and workers' compensation coverage. Documentation is provided as part of the commercial contracting process.
We have experience with phased commercial installs — working section by section or floor by floor to keep your business operational during the project. For multi-family properties, we can coordinate across multiple units simultaneously. We build a detailed project schedule before work begins and communicate daily during active phases.
We don't have a minimum project size. We handle everything from a single commercial bathroom tile installation to a full multi-floor office renovation. We assess each project individually and provide a quote that reflects the actual scope of work.

For commercial projects, we recommend an on-site visit so we can assess the space and provide an accurate written bid. We aim to have a commercial quote to you within 48–72 hours of the site visit. No pressure, no obligation.
Custom design refers to any tile or flooring installation that goes beyond a standard straight lay. This includes pattern layouts (herringbone, chevron, diagonal, basketweave), medallion and border inlays, mosaic tile work, natural stone installation, large format tile with hairline joints, 3D tile, and feature wall applications. If you have a specific vision that isn't a basic grid pattern, it's a custom design project.
Custom design work is always quoted on a project basis — there's no standard per-sq-ft rate because complexity varies significantly. Pattern layouts typically add 20–40% to standard installation pricing. Medallions and inlays are quoted individually based on size and complexity. Natural stone installation varies by material and cutting requirements. We always provide a written estimate before any work begins. Free design consultation included.
We are a labor-only company — we install the materials you purchase. For custom design projects, we provide detailed specifications for exactly what you need to purchase, including tile sizes, quantities (with waste factor), grout colors, and any specialty materials. We're happy to advise on sourcing and can recommend suppliers who carry the materials your design requires.
Yes — herringbone and chevron are two of our most requested custom patterns and we execute them on both floors and walls. The key to a great herringbone or chevron install is precise layout planning before installation begins — we calculate the starting point so the pattern flows correctly through doorways and terminates cleanly at walls. This takes experience and patience that not all installers have.
Yes — natural stone is one of our specialties and requires handling that porcelain tile does not. Marble requires careful cutting to avoid chipping, specific thinset to prevent staining, and professional sealing after installation. Travertine requires filling, leveling, and sealing. Slate varies significantly by type. We've installed all these materials and will advise you on what's required for your specific stone and application.
Custom work takes longer than standard installation — that's the nature of precision. A herringbone floor in an average room might take 3–5 days vs 2–3 for a straight lay. A marble bathroom installation could run 5–8 days. A medallion inlay in an entryway might be a standalone 2-day project. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your estimate — and we don't rush custom work.
Yes. Custom design work requires the owner's hands. Luciano personally executes and oversees all custom installations — pattern layouts, natural stone work, medallions, and specialty tile. This isn't handed off to a crew. It's one of the reasons our custom work consistently exceeds client expectations and earns the reviews it does.

Call or text us at (941) 545-3271, use our online estimate form, or email [email protected]. For custom projects, we recommend starting with a design consultation — either in person or via photos and a call. Bring inspiration images if you have them. We'll talk through what's possible, advise on materials, and provide a written estimate. Free consultation, no obligation.
