How long does a typical bathroom remodel take?

Most bathroom tile work takes 5-10 days depending on size and complexity. Full remodels with demo, waterproofing, and multiple surfaces can take 2-3 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline before starting.

Do you supply the tile and stone materials?

We can source materials for you or work with what you've already purchased. We have relationships with local stone yards and can often get better pricing on premium materials like Calcutta marble.

What's your service area?

We serve all of Monmouth and Ocean County — from Red Bank and Long Branch down to Barnegat and Long Beach Island. Based in the Manasquan and Toms River area. Contact us with your project details and we'll schedule a free consultation.

Do you handle waterproofing?

Absolutely. Proper waterproofing is non-negotiable for any shower or wet area. We use Schluter, Laticrete, and RedGard systems depending on the application.

Can you work with materials I've already bought?

Yes. We'll inspect the materials, confirm they're appropriate for your application, and flag any concerns before installation begins.

Tile Installation FAQ

How long does a tile installation take?

A typical room takes 2-5 days depending on size, pattern complexity, and substrate condition. This includes prep, installation, grouting, and sealing. We provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.

What type of tile is best for bathrooms?

Porcelain tile is the gold standard for bathrooms — it's water-resistant, durable, and available in virtually any style. For shower floors, we recommend small-format tiles or mosaics for better drainage slope conformity.

Do you remove old tile before installing new tile?

Yes, we handle complete tear-out including old tile removal, thinset grinding, and substrate repair. We never tile over existing tile as it compromises long-term adhesion.

How much does tile installation cost in New Jersey?

Tile installation in Monmouth and Ocean County typically runs $8-$25 per square foot for labor, depending on tile size, pattern complexity, and substrate condition. Materials are additional. We provide detailed line-item quotes during your free consultation.
