Tile Installed Right the First Time

Tile installation services for homeowners in Lansing, Michigan.

If you are updating a bathroom, kitchen, or entryway in your Lansing home, tile offers a durable, moisture-resistant surface that holds up well to daily use. Many older homes in Lansing have outdated tile with cracked grout, chipped edges, or layouts that no longer match the rest of the space. Replacing that tile with a clean installation improves appearance, makes cleaning easier, and prevents water from seeping under the surface.

ProEdge Home Solution LLC provides tile installation for floors, bathrooms, kitchens, and accent areas. The work includes detailed layout and clean grout lines for a polished finish, and it is commonly used in bathroom remodels and kitchen upgrades. Tile is a durable, moisture-resistant solution for Michigan homes, and it complements cabinet installation and flooring projects. The installation is suitable for both small and large tile applications, and it is designed to last for years without cracking or lifting.

What Goes Into a Clean Tile Installation

Tile installation begins with removing old flooring or wall tile and inspecting the substrate for damage or unevenness. In Lansing, it is common to find bathrooms and kitchens with subfloors or walls that need leveling or waterproofing before new tile can go in. The surface is prepped with backer board or waterproof membrane where needed, and the layout is planned to avoid awkward cuts or narrow pieces along visible edges.

Once the surface is ready, tile is installed with spacers to keep grout lines even and consistent. You will notice that the tile sits flat without lippage, grout lines are straight and uniform, and corners and edges are finished cleanly. The finished surface resists water, cleans easily, and holds up to foot traffic and daily contact without cracking or shifting.

Tile work is suitable for both small accent areas and larger installations such as full bathroom floors or kitchen backsplashes. It works well alongside other projects such as cabinet installation, painting, or remodeling, and it does not include plumbing or electrical work unless arranged separately.

Here is what homeowners usually want to know

Homeowners in Lansing often ask about tile types, grout options, and how long the installation takes. The answers below address the most common concerns that come up before tile work begins.

What type of tile is best for bathroom floors?
Porcelain and ceramic tiles are both moisture-resistant, durable, and available in a range of sizes and textures. Porcelain is slightly harder and works well in high-traffic areas, while ceramic is a good option for walls and lighter-use floors.
How long does tile installation take?
Most tile installations take two to four days, depending on the size of the area, the complexity of the layout, and drying time for adhesive and grout. You will have a clearer timeline after the initial consultation.
What is the difference between sanded and unsanded grout?
Sanded grout is used for grout lines wider than one-eighth of an inch and provides extra strength. Unsanded grout is used for narrower lines and polished tile where sanded grout could scratch the surface.
Can tile be installed over existing tile?
In some cases, yes, but the existing tile must be clean, level, and well-adhered. If the old tile is loose, uneven, or damaged, it should be removed and the surface prepped before new tile goes in.
How do you prevent tile from cracking?
Proper surface prep, including leveling the subfloor and using the right adhesive, prevents most tile cracking. Tile should also be installed with appropriate expansion joints and grout lines to allow for minor movement.
