Tile & Stone Flooring

Elegant, durable floors for any room, including the busy ones.

A tile or stone floor is a long-term decision. Done well, it outlasts almost everything else in the room. Tile Arts Inc installs flooring that earns that longevity: flat, level, and set on a substrate that won’t telegraph cracks a year later. The prep you don’t see is what keeps the floor you do see looking right.

We lay porcelain, ceramic, marble, travertine, and other stone in entries, kitchens, baths, and whole-floor open plans, including wood-look porcelain that brings the warmth of wood to wet and high-traffic areas where real wood struggles. From pattern layout to clean thresholds between rooms, we sweat the details that make a floor feel intentional.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Is tile or stone flooring good for high-traffic areas?

It’s one of the best choices. Porcelain in particular is extremely hard-wearing and easy to maintain, which is why it shows up in entries, kitchens, and commercial spaces. Natural stone is durable too and adds warmth, with a bit more maintenance.

Why does subfloor prep matter so much?

Because most floor-tile failures trace back to what’s underneath. If the substrate flexes or isn’t flat, tiles crack and grout fails. We prep, level, and add crack-isolation where needed so the finished floor stays sound.

Can I get the look of wood without the maintenance?

Yes. Wood-look porcelain plank has come a long way and gives you the warmth of wood with the water- and wear-resistance of tile, ideal for kitchens, baths, and busy households.

Can you tile over an existing floor?

Depending on the existing floor and height constraints, sometimes, but a sound substrate is non-negotiable. We’ll tell you honestly whether to overlay or tear out for the best result.
