Why Hiring a Licensed Tile Floor Installer Matters

By Fireclay Tile

Fireclay Installation Services Kitchen Floor Install 2

The beauty of tile lies in its versatility. From a chic herringbone pattern to custom mosaic installations, the possibilities for floor tile are endless. But that same versatility can make installation a complex undertaking, demanding the expertise of a seasoned professional. Choosing the right licensed tile floor installer can be the difference between a stunning, long-lasting design and a costly, time-consuming do-over.

We understand the importance of a seamless installation process. That's why we offer Fireclay Tile Installation Services in select California markets, with plans to expand to other areas. Our Installation Team is helmed by Martin Brookes, who has decades of tile installation experience under his belt. They’re also Five-Star Accredited by the National Tile Contractors Association, meaning you can trust in their expertise and professionalism.

Let’s explore why hiring a licensed tile floor installer is so vital – and how Fireclay can be your partner every step of the way.

They Bring Unparalleled Expertise

Different tile materials require different techniques, and even the smallest miscalculation can lead to major problems down the line. A skilled, licensed tile floor installer, like those on the Fireclay Tile Installation team, understands these nuances and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. They're experts in handling everything from specialty shapes to large-format tiles to ensure your installed flooring turns out exactly as envisioned.

Proper Prep is Guaranteed for Your Project

One of the biggest advantages of working with a licensed tile floor installer is their deep understanding of substrate preparation. A proper foundation is critical for the longevity of your tile floors. Our Fireclay installers are trained to assess the substrate and ensure it's perfectly prepped for your chosen tile, preventing issues like cracking or shifting down the line. They also facilitate permits and inspections and remove and dispose of any existing tile if necessary. This expertise is invaluable, saving you time, money, and potential headaches.

They Have Experience With All Types of Tile

Intricate patterns, complex transitions, achieving a perfectly level finish – these are the hallmarks of a professional installation. Our Fireclay installers are masters of their craft, bringing years of experience to every project. They can execute even the most ambitious designs with precision and artistry, transforming your vision into a stunning reality. 

Plus, when you choose Fireclay Installation services, complimentary design services are included (typically valued at $349 per project) which include realistic renderings so you can visualize your dream space before the work even begins.

Your Investment Will Be Protected

Beyond technical skills, a licensed tile floor installer also provides invaluable peace of mind. They are insured and bonded, protecting you from liability. When you hire a licensed professional, you're not just paying for labor; you're investing in expertise, reliability, and the long-term success of your project.

With Fireclay Tile Installation, you also get our industry-best Installation Protection. This warranty, typically priced per project, covers replacement and reimbursement up to 2 times the order value – and it’s complimentary for our Installation clients.

You’ll Be Able to See Examples of Their Past Work

Look for a licensed tile floor installer with a proven track record of successful installations, particularly with the type of tile you've chosen. Our Fireclay Tile Installation Team has a proven track record of successful installations, specializing in handmade tile as well as other materials including porcelain and stone installation.

Ask for references, and don't hesitate to check them. A reputable installer will be happy to share examples of their work and connect you with previous clients.

You Can Enjoy a Worry-Free Process

Communication is key. Your licensed tile floor installer should be responsive to your questions, clearly explain the installation process, and provide a detailed quote outlining all costs involved. They should also be willing to offer advice and guidance on design choices, helping you bring your vision to life and making the experience seamless for you.

With Fireclay, we take this a step further and assign you a project manager who comprehensively manages every aspect of your installation with the best-in-class customer service we’re known for. Our goal is to make tile installation the easiest part of your project.
