CONSTRUCTION SERVICE
Tile & Wood Flooring
Waterfront Construction installs tile and wood flooring, from large-format porcelain with leveling systems to hardwood and engineered wood. Subfloor preparation comes first, because a flat, solid base is what keeps tile from cracking.
When this is the right place to start
Best fit when floors are worn, damaged or mismatched, or a remodel needs new flooring throughout.
- Subfloor inspection and leveling
- Porcelain and ceramic tile, including large-format
- Hardwood and engineered wood flooring
- Baseboards and transitions between rooms
Useful details to have ready
- The rooms and rough square footage
- Photos of the current floors
- The material you are considering
Common questions about tile & wood flooring
Why do tile floors crack?
Usually because the subfloor moves or was not flat. Proper preparation and the right underlayment prevent most cracking.
Can new flooring go over the old floor?
Sometimes, but it raises floor height and can hide problems. Removing the old floor is often the better base for a long-lasting result.
What is large-format tile?
Tile with at least one side 15 inches or longer. It needs a very flat floor and leveling clips, like the ones in our project photos.
