Residential Tile Installation Services

Residential tile installation involves more than setting tile in place. Proper preparation ensures the surface remains stable and resistant to cracking or movement. RKO Remodeling LLC installs tile across a range of interior applications while accounting for structural conditions and environmental exposure.

  • Surface Preparation and Substrate Evaluation

    A stable subfloor is essential to flooring performance. Uneven or damaged subfloors can cause premature wear, movement, or surface failure. RKO Remodeling LLC prepares subfloors through leveling, reinforcement, or replacement when necessary to support the chosen flooring material.

  • Moisture and Vapor Control

    A stable substrate is critical for tile longevity. Uneven or flexible surfaces can lead to cracked tiles or grout failure. RKO Remodeling LLC evaluates and prepares substrates through leveling, reinforcement, or replacement to support proper tile adhesion.

  • Tile Layout and Spacing

    Accurate layout planning ensures consistent spacing and alignment throughout the installation. Tile placement is carefully measured to maintain uniform grout lines and avoid uneven cuts along walls and transitions.

  • Adhesive and Setting Methods

    Different tile materials require specific setting compounds. Thinset, mortar, or other adhesives are selected based on tile type and application area to support proper bonding and long-term performance.

Floor Tile Installation

Tile flooring is commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and laundry rooms due to its durability and moisture resistance. Floor tile installations must withstand weight, movement, and environmental changes.

  • Ceramic and Porcelain Floor Tile

    Ceramic and porcelain tiles are widely used for residential flooring. These materials require precise installation to ensure even surfaces and proper load distribution. RKO Remodeling LLC installs floor tile using methods designed to minimize movement and surface wear.

  • Natural Stone Tile Flooring

    Natural stone tile requires additional preparation due to material density and variation. Proper underlayment and spacing are essential to accommodate weight and natural expansion. RKO Remodeling LLC installs stone tile with attention to structural support and finish consistency.

Wall and Backsplash Tile Installation

Wall tile applications serve both protective and functional purposes. These installations require careful alignment to maintain visual consistency while protecting underlying surfaces.

  • Kitchen Backsplash Tile

    Backsplashes protect walls from moisture and heat while providing a finished surface behind countertops and appliances. RKO Remodeling LLC installs backsplash tile with precise spacing and clean transitions along cabinetry and countertops.

  • Bathroom Wall and Shower Tile

    Bathroom wall tile installations must manage moisture exposure effectively. Proper waterproofing systems are essential to prevent water intrusion behind tile surfaces. RKO Remodeling LLC installs bathroom and shower tile using methods designed to protect framing and wall assemblies.

Grout, Sealing, and Finishing Work

Grout and finishing materials play a key role in tile performance. Improper grout application can lead to moisture penetration and surface deterioration.

  • Grout Selection and Application

    Grout type and spacing are selected based on tile material and joint width. RKO Remodeling LLC applies grout evenly to support structural stability and consistent appearance.

  • Tile Sealing and Protection

    Some tile materials require sealing to protect against staining and moisture absorption. RKO Remodeling LLC applies sealers where appropriate to support long-term durability and ease of maintenance.

Tile Removal and Replacement Services

Older or damaged tile installations may require professional removal and replacement. RKO Remodeling LLC provides tile replacement services that address both surface and substrate conditions.

  • Removal of Existing Tile

    Tile removal involves breaking and extracting existing materials without damaging underlying structures. RKO Remodeling LLC removes tile carefully and prepares surfaces for new installation.

  • Full Tile Replacement Projects
