Good tile work starts underneath. In older Lebanon homes especially, floors can be uneven or springy, which leads to cracked tile and loose grout. We fix the base first so your new floor lasts.
Flooring options
- Porcelain tile for durability and water resistance
- Natural stone for a classic, upscale look
- Mosaic tile for shower floors with extra grip
- Luxury vinyl plank for waterproof, budget-friendly floors
- Patterned tile for a vintage feel that suits older homes
Wall and shower tile
Subway tile, large-format porcelain and decorative accent tile are all popular choices. We'll help you choose a design that fits the character of your home.
Prep work that matters
We check floor flatness and stiffness, reinforce or level as needed, install the proper underlayment and waterproof wet areas.
Floors in older homes near the Square
Many older homes in Lebanon have wood-framed floors that have settled over the decades. Before we install new tile, we check for dips, soft spots and bounce, then reinforce or level as needed. It's an extra step, but it's the difference between tile that lasts and tile that cracks within a few years. We'll also check for old water damage around the toilet and tub, which is common in older bathrooms.
Bathroom Tile & Flooring: common questions
Why does bathroom tile crack?
Usually because the floor underneath flexes or wasn't prepared properly. We address that before installing new tile.
What tile suits an older home?
Hexagon, subway and patterned tiles often complement older homes well.
What if my floor has water damage?
We'll repair the damaged subfloor before installing new tile.
