Your tile installation in Bellevue, WA, begins much like any other service, with a phone call followed by an appointment. Our skilled service professionals will gather information on your tile project, such as 

• The area where the installation will take place 
• Type of tile that you prefer  
• Size

If you are unsure, we can guide you through the tile selection process, explaining how to calculate the square footage of your space to determine how many tile sheets you need, the different options available, and tile estimates, and help you find the perfect material for your space.

There is a reason why tile is a highly desired material to use in homes. It can handle heavy impact and is, therefore, ideal for flooring, wherever you expect high foot traffic. Plus, when done correctly and sealed, it has a strong moisture resistance.

The installers at Mr. Handyman of SE Bellevue can install tile you have previously purchased, or help you pick the one you prefer. Our service experts can install a wide range of tile products, including:

• Ceramic tile
• Porcelain tile
• Natural stone tile
• Cork tile
• Glass tile

Remember, when purchasing tile, it’s always a good idea to purchase more than you need. That way if any tiles get broken in the future, you have replacements on hand. Also, keep in mind what type of material would work best for your room. For instance, if you are doing a bathroom remodel, you don't want anything that'll have a slippery surface when wet, but if you are looking for a floor tile for an entryway, you will want something that can stand up to heavy foot traffic. If you have any questions about the tile selection process, our experienced team will be happy to help.

Next, our helpful team of handyman professionals will arrive on time for your scheduled appointment to get started on your tile service. All aspects of the tile installation process vary depending on factors such as the room, location, and type of materials used. Generally, it goes like this:

• Preparing the surface: Unless you are having tiles installed for the first time, you need to clear away the old to make room for the new. On floors, this involves removing the existing flooring and cleaning and inspecting the subfloor. On walls, this could be removing old tile. After the old material has been removed and disposed of, we’ll level the surface if needed. Depending on where the tile is going, things like vapor barriers may also need to be installed.
• Applying thinset: This adhesive solution is specifically designed to securely bond tiles to the intended surface. Various types of thinset are available, tailored to specific applications such as using a tile membrane or applying tiles to a cement backer board. The thinset mortar will be thoroughly mixed to remove any air pockets and applied with a notched edge trowel for optimal results.
• Installing the tile: We’ll lay the tiles across the thinset, evenly spacing them with tile spacers. We’ll use a damp sponge to remove any thinset that ends up on the tile surface as we place them and cut the tile to go around any fixtures as needed.
• Applying grout: After 24 hours, the tinsel has cured, and we’ll remove the spacers. A damp sponge will be used once again to smooth the grout lines and wipe any excess grout off the tile surface.
• Finishing touches: Once the grout has fully cured, we can apply sealant to the joint between your tiles and baseboards. If necessary, we’ll also apply a grout sealant. This final step will ensure that your tiled surfaces are protected from any moisture penetration and and stains, prolonging the lifespan of your installation. After applying the sealant, we'll give it ample time to dry before your tile project is officially complete.
