Flooring Installation in Lisle, IL

Tile and plank flooring in Lisle

We install tile in bathrooms, entries and laundry rooms, and luxury vinyl plank, laminate and engineered hardwood in the rest of the house. Tile is the least forgiving of them: it needs a floor that is both flat and stiff, or the grout cracks and tiles pop loose. So we check flatness against the spec, fix the subfloor, and add backer board or a membrane where the tile calls for it. Every job finishes with base, shoe and transitions.

We come into Lisle on I-88 and Route 53 and work along Ogden Avenue and Maple Avenue, out toward the Morton Arboretum in DuPage County. A bathroom floor job involves more than the tile itself. The toilet comes up, the flange has to end up at the right height for the new floor, and the vanity or tub edge decides where the tile stops. We pull and reset the toilet on a new wax ring, and if the flange is cracked or sits too low, we tell you before we set it back.

What we include on a Lisle floor

Toilet pull and reset

We take the toilet up, set it back on a new wax ring, and check it for rocking and leaks.

Flange height check

When new tile raises the floor, we bring the closet flange up to match so the toilet seals.

Backer board or membrane

Tile over wood gets cement backer board or an uncoupling membrane, set and fastened to the maker's schedule.

Stiffening a bouncy floor

A floor that flexes cracks grout, so we check for bounce and add blocking or sheathing where it is needed.

Grout and caulk

Joints get grouted, cleaned and sealed where the grout calls for it, with caulk at the tub and walls.

Plank beyond the bathroom

Halls and bedrooms can take luxury vinyl, laminate or engineered hardwood, with a transition where it meets the tile.

How a Lisle tile or flooring job runs

We give you a free on-site estimate, check the floor for flatness and bounce, and note the toilet flange and the vanity. The written scope covers the tile or plank, the backer, the trim and any fixtures we pull and reset. If the old floor comes up and the subfloor around the toilet is soft from an old leak, we price that repair in writing and wait for your approval. We walk the room with you at the end and flush the toilet together.

FAQ

Flooring Installation in Lisle: questions

Can you tile over my old bathroom floor?

Sometimes, if the old floor is flat, sound and well bonded. Most bathrooms come out better with a tear-out to the subfloor so we can see the area around the toilet. We tell you which applies at the estimate.

Do bathroom floors in Lisle need a permit?

Replacing the tile alone usually does not. Moving the toilet or changing plumbing can, and we check with the village and pull the permit where one is required.

Do you install floors in towns near Lisle?

Yes. Naperville, Downers Grove, Woodridge and Warrenville are on the route.

How long does a bathroom floor take?

Tile usually takes two to three days because thinset and grout need time to cure. We give you the days in writing, including when the toilet will be back in.

How do I get an estimate?

Call or text (815) 585-1750. A photo of the floor around the toilet helps us see what we are walking into.
