Tile Installation Services in Tampa, FL

The duration of the installation process depends on various factors such as the type of flooring, the size of the area, and any additional preparations needed. On average, a straightforward flooring installation may take a few days, while more extensive projects or those requiring subfloor preparation such as concrete leveling may take longer. It's best to consult with our team for a more accurate estimate based on the specific details of your project.

Ideally, aim to schedule your installation at least 2 weeks before your desired start date. This allows for a consultation, material selection, and any necessary preparations. However, for peak seasons or busy times, it's recommended to contact us even earlier to secure your preferred dates. Keep in mind that certain factors, such as the type of flooring and any required preparations, can influence the lead time needed.

Yes, some preparation steps are typically necessary before flooring installation. Here are some general guidelines:

Clear the Area:

Cover mounted TVs and remove furniture, rugs, and other items from the space where the installation will occur.

Clean the Space:

Ensure that the area is clean and free of debris. This includes vacuuming or sweeping the existing floor.

Address Subfloor Issues:

Ensure that our installation team has easy access to the space. This may involve temporarily relocating items or arranging for a clear pathway.
