Tile installation in Sandy Springs starts under the tile, not on top of it. Morais Construction checks your subfloor for flatness, fixes the low spots, then sets porcelain, ceramic or wood-look plank tile in mortar so every piece sits level with the one next to it and the grout lines run straight from wall to wall.
You notice a rushed tile job in the first week: an edge that catches your sock, a grout line that drifts at the doorway, a hollow sound near the fridge. Those hollow spots are where tiles crack later. We spend the time on prep and layout so you are not living with those problems in your Alpharetta, Roswell or Dunwoody home.
Wood-look tile gives you the look of long hardwood planks in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room or basement, where water and spills would ruin real wood. We lay the planks in a staggered pattern so the floor reads like wood, not like a grid.
We measure your rooms, check the subfloor and talk through tile size, color and pattern with you.
Old flooring comes out, and the subfloor gets cleaned and flattened so the tile has a solid base.
Each tile goes down in mortar with even spacing, and long planks are staggered to keep the edges flush.
We grout the joints, clean off the haze and walk the floor with you before we call it done.
It depends on the size of the room and how much prep the subfloor needs. The mortar has to set before the joints are grouted, so most tile floors take more than one day. You get a realistic timeline with your free estimate.
Yes. Wood-look porcelain and ceramic plank tile gives you the look of hardwood in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and basements, where water would damage real wood. We lay the planks in a staggered pattern so the floor reads like wood.
Sometimes, but most of the time the old floor has to come out. We check what is under it during the estimate. If removal is needed, we take it out and haul it away as part of the job.
Yes. We come to your home, measure the rooms, look at the subfloor and give you a written estimate before any work starts.
Tile works well anywhere water, mud or heavy foot traffic is part of daily life: kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, entryways and basements.
