For entries, kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms in Clarkston, tile is still the toughest floor you can buy — waterproof, nearly indestructible, and cooler underfoot in a Georgia summer. We set porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone over properly prepared subfloors with uncoupling membranes, so the tile never inherits the wood's movement.
Tile Flooring Installation in Clarkston
Every tile floor we set in Clarkston gets an uncoupling membrane over the subfloor — it's cheap insurance that lets the tile and the wood subfloor move independently instead of fighting each other. On slabs we test for moisture and use the right thinset for the tile size; large-format tile gets large-and-heavy-tile mortar, not the all-purpose bag.
Pattern is where tile gets fun in DeKalb County: running bond for classic calm, herringbone for entries that deserve a moment, large-format squares for open kitchens that need fewer grout lines, and wood-look planks for the farmhouse style that's everywhere right now. We dry-lay every pattern first and center it on the room's focal point — no sliver cuts where your eye lands.
Porcelain, Ceramic & Stone Tile
DeKalb County keeps us honest — historic bungalows in Decatur and Druid Hills with heart-pine floors worth saving, mid-century ranches in Brookhaven and Chamblee, and new townhomes going up everywhere in between. We match the floor to the house: refinish what's worth keeping, install what's not, and never talk you into more than the house needs.
A well-set tile floor should outlast the kitchen around it. That's the standard we hold in DeKalb County: flat, solid, and beautiful, with grout lines you could set a level to. If that's the floor you want in your Clarkston home, we're the crew to call.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tile is best for floors in Clarkston?
Porcelain, for most homes — it's dense, nearly waterproof, and comes in every look from marble to wood. Natural stone is beautiful but thirstier for sealing. We'll match the tile to the room's moisture and traffic.
Will my tile floor crack?
Not if the subfloor is right. We address deflection, use uncoupling membrane, and set tile in full mortar coverage — the three things that prevent cracks. That's why our tile floors don't crack.
How much does tile flooring cost in Clarkston?
Tile, pattern complexity, and subfloor prep drive the number. Large-format and intricate patterns cost more in labor. One written quote after we see the rooms — that's our policy.
How do I keep grout looking clean?
We seal every grout job and show you the right cleaner (hint: not bleach). Sealed grout with basic maintenance stays good-looking for years.
