Marble & Natural Stone
Stone is not tile. It is porous, it is rarely calibrated, it stains, and the wrong setting material will show through it permanently. It is also the most beautiful thing you can put on a floor, which is why it is worth doing properly.
White marble shows everything behind it
Set a light marble in a grey thinset and the grey reads through the stone. It is called picture framing and it cannot be fixed after the fact. Light stone gets white thinset, every time. Small detail, permanent consequence.
Sealing before grout, not after
Unsealed stone drinks grout pigment. Seal a honed marble first and the grout wipes off it. Grout it raw and you have a permanent haze in the surface. We seal before grouting and again after, and we will tell you what the maintenance actually looks like so there are no surprises.
Stone is not uniform, and that is the point
Natural stone varies from crate to crate. We blend from multiple boxes as we lay so the variation is spread across the floor instead of showing up as a patch in one corner. It is slower. It is also the difference between a stone floor and a stone floor that looks like it was installed in sections.
What this covers
- Marble, travertine, limestone and slate
- White-setting materials for light stone
- Pre-grout and post-grout sealing
- Mitered edges and honed thresholds
Every shower we build gets a full membrane
The part you never see is the part that decides whether it lasts. We photograph every layer so you know what went in behind your tile.

We Do The Part You Cannot See
Proper substrate prep and full waterproofing on every shower. It is the part that decides whether the job lasts ten years or eighteen months.
Flat Price, In Writing, Before We Start
We measure in person, then give you one number covering tile, prep and removal. If we find rot or a bad subfloor we stop and show you first.
Layout Planned Before The First Cut
We dry-lay and find the centre before mixing thinset, so full tiles land where the eye goes and the slivers end up out of sight.
Your House Stays Livable
Floors covered on the path in and out, work area sealed off, cleanup at the end of every day rather than just at the end of the job.
- Free estimates, always
- Flat pricing in writing before we start
- Full waterproofing on every shower

We Look First, Then We Quote
Tile is priced by what is underneath it, and you cannot see that in a photograph. We come out, measure, check the floor and tell you what the job actually is. The visit is free and so is the estimate.
We measure in person, then put a flat price in writing. No hourly surprises.
