Flooring & Tile in Los Angeles

Start in your own house. Original tile is frequently left over in a garage, a crawlspace or the back of a linen closet, and one spare box solves the whole problem. Failing that, the salvage yards around LA carry mid-century field tile, and there are makers who reproduce the common colors. Bring us a loose piece and we will tell you whether a match exists or whether pulling tile from a closet floor to patch the hall is the better move.

Grout is porous, so a floor that stays damp for a few hours after a shower is normal. A floor that is still wet the next morning is not, and grout is rarely the cause. Look at the slope to the drain and at whether the pan under the tile still holds water. We can regrout and reseal, and we will tell you honestly when what you have is a failed pan, which is a bathroom rebuild rather than a repair.

No. We repair and patch tile, regrout, reseal, and install backsplashes and small areas. A whole floor is a different job with different tools and a different crew, and it usually comes with subfloor prep we do not take on. We will happily fix the four cracked tiles inside your front door.

Honest answer: a little, sometimes. A single replaced tile from the same box disappears. A tile matched from a different lot sits slightly off in color, and fresh grout beside twenty-year-old grout reads brighter until it ages. We tell you which one you are getting before we start, and where the difference would be obvious, regrouting the whole area evens it out.
