Why prep matters more in Westminster
The soils under much of Westminster are expansive clay, and slabs can shift a little through wet and dry seasons. A tile floor set directly on a cracked or uneven surface will eventually follow the crack. We inspect the substrate, test flatness and use crack-isolation membranes or underlayment where the situation calls for it.
That is the unglamorous part of the job, and it is where we spend our time. Tile that looks great on day one and also on day one thousand is a prep decision.
Where tile makes sense
Entryways, mudrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens and bathrooms are the natural homes for tile, especially in a place where snow and mud walk in all winter. Porcelain handles moisture and traffic, and its look ranges from soft concrete to marble to wood-grain planks. Walk-in showers with tile are also common in Westminster remodels, and we can coordinate that with our bathroom side of the business.
Not every room needs tile, and we will say so. For a main living area you may prefer the warmth of wood or luxury vinyl plank, with tile reserved for the wet zones.
What tile costs installed
Installed tile in the Westminster area commonly runs about $10-25 per square foot, a wide range because the material itself varies so much. Large-format porcelain, natural stone, patterned layouts and mosaic work all cost more to set than simple field tile. Floors needing leveling, backer board or demolition of old tile add to the total.
We would rather show you the real range than a lowball number. Your free in-home measure produces an itemized quote, with materials, prep and labor clearly separated.
A tile job, start to finish
Our mobile design showroom brings tile samples to your house so you can judge color and finish against your cabinets and countertops. Once you choose, we measure carefully and write the quote. Then comes removal of existing flooring, substrate repair, setting, grouting and sealing where needed.
Furniture moves, dust is contained as much as possible and we clean up when we are done. After about ten days we come back to see how the floor is holding up.
Porcelain, ceramic and stone
Porcelain is dense, tough and the default we recommend for most floors. Ceramic suits lighter-duty areas and walls, and natural stone brings character that no printed tile can match, although it needs sealing and more care. You can explore the categories on our pages for porcelain tile and natural stone tile.
Grout color and joint width change the character as much as the tile itself. We bring grout samples too, because a surprising number of people choose the tile and forget the grout.
Why Floor Crafters for tile
We have been family-owned and working along the Front Range since 1988. The same people who measure your room are the ones who coordinate the install, which keeps the details from slipping. Tile is unforgiving, and experience shows in straight lines and clean cuts.
Every job is covered by The Floor Crafters guarantee. If you want to spread out the cost, financing is available subject to credit approval.
Keeping tile and grout looking good
Westminster's water is hard, and mineral film can build on tile and grout over time. Wipe up puddles, use a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid acidic products on stone. Sealing grout and natural stone helps resist stains.
Tile is cold in a Colorado winter, so many homeowners add a mat or in-floor heating in bathrooms. Dry air does not affect tile itself, but it is hard on grout in rooms with a lot of movement, which is one more reason proper prep counts.
