A tile bathroom floor in your Palatine home, set flat on a stiff backer, with the toilet reset on a fresh seal and the vanity back in place.
We lay tile in baths, entries and laundry rooms and install luxury vinyl plank and tile, laminate and engineered hardwood in the rest of the house. A bathroom floor has to be flat and stiff, so we check the subfloor against the tile's spec, then level, patch or sand it and set the backer before any tile goes down. We pull the toilet and, where needed, the vanity, and we put both back and reconnect them. Base, shoe and transitions are part of the job.
Palatine is on our regular route, and we come in on Route 53, using Rand Road, Northwest Highway and Dundee Road to reach the house, whether it is near downtown and the Metra station or out by Harper College. It is in Cook County and borders Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows and Hoffman Estates. If your bathroom has a soft spot near the toilet, the usual cause is a slow leak at the wax ring that soaked the subfloor. We open it up, show you, and replace the bad section before tile goes over it, then set the flange at the right height for the new floor.
The toilet comes up, the floor goes under it, and it goes back on a new wax ring with the flange at the right height.
Water-damaged plywood around the toilet or tub gets cut out and replaced before tile.
Cement board or an uncoupling membrane goes down so the tile and grout do not crack.
We center the pattern on the doorway and keep the narrow cuts at the tub and under the vanity toe kick.
If the tile runs under the vanity, we disconnect it, set it aside and reconnect the supply and drain.
A transition or marble saddle meets the hallway floor at a height that does not catch a toe.
We come out for a free estimate, measure the floor and press around the toilet and tub for soft spots. Your written scope covers the toilet and vanity removal, the backer, the tile and the threshold. If we find rotted subfloor once the old floor is up, we show you, price the repair in writing and only proceed with your approval. Tile and grout need time to set, so we schedule those days up front and keep them, then reset the toilet, check for leaks and walk the room with you.
