Why professional tile work matters
Tile is more than a finish; it’s a long-term investment in your home’s performance and style. Properly installed tile protects surfaces from water damage, resists wear and staining, and provides design flexibility in patterns, size, and material. Water-prone areas like showers, tub surrounds, and backsplashes demand professional waterproofing, substrate preparation, and proper grout and sealant application to avoid costly failures down the road. Roberts Custom Tile & Stone combines skillful installation with industry best practices to ensure your tile looks great and stands the test of time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long will my tile project take?
A: Timelines depend on the scope. Small backsplashes can be completed in a day or two, while full bathroom remodels typically take several days for demo, substrate prep, tile setting, grout, and curing. We provide a clear schedule with your estimate.
Q: Do you install natural stone like marble and granite?
A: Yes. We work with marble and granite for countertops, flooring, and feature walls. Natural stone requires specific adhesives, cutting, and sealing processes, which our team handles.
Q: What’s the difference between porcelain and ceramic tile?
A: Porcelain is denser, less porous, and generally better for high-traffic and wet areas. Ceramic is suitable for walls, backsplashes, and moderate-traffic floors. We’ll recommend the best material for your room and traffic level.
Q: Do you handle waterproofing for showers?
A: Absolutely. Proper waterproofing is essential. We install waterproof membranes, properly sloped shower pans, and use tile products compatible with wet environments.
Q: How do you price a job?
A: Pricing is based on materials, labor time, substrate preparation, waterproofing needs, layout complexity, and finishes. We provide detailed written estimates.
Q: Can you remove old tile and prepare the floor/ wall?
A: Yes. Demo and substrate prep are included in our service when required. We ensure the surface is structurally sound and level before installing new tile.
