Tile Flooring Services in Chicago
Clean lines. Tough surfaces. Waterproofed right.
Tile floors that look sharp and last
At Costello Carpentry, we install tile flooring that handles daily traffic and wet zones without drama. We prep substrates, waterproof where needed, and set tile with clean, consistent lines.
Layouts are planned for sight lines and thresholds. Cuts are tight, edges are finished, and grout lines stay straight. We match materials to use—porcelain, ceramic, or stone—and seal as appropriate so the floor stays easy to clean.
The result is a tile floor that feels solid underfoot, resists moisture, and elevates kitchens, baths, entries, and basements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical tile flooring install take?
Most single rooms finish in two to three days including substrate prep, setting, and grout cure. Larger spaces or complex patterns may add time.
What types of tile flooring do you install?
We install porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone. We match tile flooring to your space, traffic, and moisture level for durability and maintenance needs.
Do you handle substrate preparation and leveling?
Yes. We verify flatness, fasten subfloors, correct highs and lows, and use appropriate backer board or membranes so tile flooring sits solid and stays crack free.
Is waterproofing required for tile flooring?
In wet areas like baths, laundry rooms, and basements we install membranes and seal penetrations. Proper waterproofing keeps moisture out of the structure.
Can you install large-format tile without lippage?
Yes. We prepare flat substrates, use the correct trowel and leveling system, and set to tight tolerances so edges stay even and clean.
What grout should I choose for tile flooring?
We recommend grout based on joint width, tile type, and traffic. Sanded, unsanded, or high-performance grouts are selected to reduce staining and cracking.
Do you install trims and transitions?
Yes. We fit Schluter-style profiles, bullnose, and clean thresholds so tile flooring finishes neatly at doors, tubs, and adjacent floors.
Can tile flooring be used with radiant heat?
Yes. Tile performs well over radiant systems. We confirm product approvals and follow temperature and expansion guidelines during install.
Will you seal stone and grout?
We seal porous stone and recommend sealing cementitious grout. We also offer regrouting and resealing to refresh existing tile flooring.
How do you control dust and protect the home?
We isolate work zones, use extraction on tools, protect paths and finishes, and tidy at the end of each day.
How do I maintain tile flooring?
Sweep or vacuum regularly and damp mop with pH-neutral cleaners. Avoid harsh acids and abrasive pads that can damage grout or stone.
What warranty do you provide?
Workmanship is covered for one year. Manufacturer warranties for tile, membranes, and grout remain in place. We document install details for future reference.
