What we do · Floors to finish

Six trades,
one crew.

Flooring, painting, and tile are the core — but that covers custom showers, floors, cabinets, kitchens, baths, and the subfloor repair that sometimes has to come first. We serve Savannah and coastal Georgia. Here is exactly what each service includes, the materials we work with, and what to know before you start.

  • Licensed & insured
  • Free written estimates
  • Showroom samples
  • In-house crew

Custom Tile & Showers

Built to be waterproof, laid to be looked at.

A shower is only as good as what is behind the tile. We build every wet area on a properly waterproofed and sloped base — bonded waterproofing membrane, a mortar pan pitched correctly to the drain, and seams that are sealed, not hoped over. Then the tile goes up dead straight, with full-coverage thinset so nothing sounds hollow in five years. Large-format porcelain, marble, subway, mosaic, niches, benches, and curbless entries are all on the table.

What’s included

  • Demo of the old surround or pan
  • Bonded waterproofing membrane on walls & floor
  • Mortar shower pan floated & sloped to drain
  • Niches, benches, and curb framing
  • Full-coverage thinset, straight layout, clean grout lines
  • Sealing of grout and natural stone
  • 5-year warranty on every shower we build

Materials & options

  • Large-format porcelain
  • Marble & natural stone
  • Subway & handmade-look tile
  • Glass & pebble mosaics
  • Schluter / bonded waterproofing systems

Every shower comes with a 5-year warranty — and if we open a wall and find rot or a failed old pan, you will hear about it before we tile, not after.

Flooring Installation

Tile, LVP, hardwood — over a floor that lasts.

Flat, solid, and quiet starts under the floor. Before a single plank or tile goes down we check the subfloor for flex, high spots, and moisture, and we fix what we find. That prep is the difference between a floor that stays tight and one that creaks and gaps a year later. Come see luxury vinyl, tile, and wood-look samples on the showroom wall so you know exactly what you are getting before anything is ordered.

What’s included

  • Subfloor inspection & moisture check
  • Leveling, patching, and high-spot grinding
  • Underlayment / moisture barrier as needed
  • Tear-out and haul-away of old flooring
  • Precise cuts around cabinets, vents, and transitions
  • New baseboard or shoe molding to finish

Materials & options

  • Luxury vinyl plank (LVP)
  • Porcelain & marble-look tile
  • Wood-look porcelain
  • Engineered & solid hardwood
  • Transition strips & trim

Showroom samples let you match flooring to your cabinets and light before you commit a whole room to it.

Painting & Cabinet Refinishing

A fresh coat that actually holds up.

A finish only looks effortless when the prep underneath it is right. We mask, fill, sand, and prime so the color goes on clean and stays put — whether it is a single accent wall, every room in the house, or a kitchen of cabinets brought back to life in a new color. Cabinet refinishing in particular saves a fortune over replacement, and prepped and sprayed properly it holds up to daily use for years.

What’s included

  • Surface prep: fill, sand, caulk, and mask
  • Spot priming or full prime where needed
  • Cabinet degrease, scuff-sand, and spray finish
  • Crisp cut lines at trim, ceilings, and corners
  • Two coats of quality interior paint
  • Daily clean-up and final touch-ups

Materials & options

  • Durable interior wall & trim paint
  • Cabinet-grade sprayed finishes
  • Primer & bonding coats
  • Accent & feature-wall finishes
  • Low-VOC options on request

We will tell you honestly whether your cabinets are a good candidate for refinishing or better off replaced.

Kitchen Remodels

Counters, cabinets, backsplash, floor.

Kitchens touch every trade we run — cabinets, counters, tile, paint, and flooring — which is exactly why having one crew coordinate them matters. Instead of juggling a tile setter, a painter, and a flooring installer who each blame the other, we sequence the whole room so it lands together and on schedule. That can mean a backsplash-and-refinish refresh or a full layout change.

What’s included

  • Cabinet refinishing or replacement coordination
  • Counter & backsplash tie-in
  • Tile backsplash and feature areas
  • New flooring to match the space
  • Paint and trim throughout
  • Sequencing so trades do not collide

Materials & options

  • Tile & glass backsplash
  • Refinished or new cabinetry
  • LVP, tile, or wood-look flooring
  • Counter & fixture coordination
  • Hardware & finish details

One number to call and one crew accountable for the whole kitchen — no game of telephone between subs.

Bathroom Remodels

From tub-to-shower to a full gut.

From a clean tub-to-shower conversion to a full gut down to the studs, we handle the whole bathroom and leave it watertight. Tile surrounds, custom walk-in showers, new vanities, flooring, and fixtures all come from the same crew, built on a waterproofed base so the finish lasts. We work clean in a room you still need to use, and we close out every detail before we call it done.

What’s included

  • Tub-to-shower conversions
  • Waterproofed tile surrounds & pans
  • Vanity, top, and fixture installation
  • New tile or LVP flooring
  • Lighting & accessory mounting
  • Caulk, seal, and final detail pass
  • 5-year warranty on every new shower

Materials & options

  • Tile surrounds & custom showers
  • Vanities & stone tops
  • LVP & porcelain flooring
  • Glass, niches, and benches
  • Fixtures & finish hardware

Most baths can stay partially usable during the work — we plan the sequence around your household.

Subfloor & Structural Repair

Fix what is under the floor first.

Soft, springy, or sloping floors usually mean something underneath needs attention before any finish goes down. Rotted subfloor, water-damaged sheathing, and sagging or undersized joists get rebuilt to a solid, level base — not covered up. Twenty-nine years in the trade means we catch the problems under the surface, and we would rather fix it once than have you pay twice when the new floor telegraphs the old damage.

What’s included

  • Locate and open up the failed area
  • Replace rotted subfloor sheathing
  • Sister, reinforce, or replace joists
  • Repair water damage at its source
  • Re-level and tie back into solid framing
  • Prep a flat, solid base for finished flooring

Materials & options

  • AdvanTech & exterior-grade subfloor
  • Pressure-treated framing lumber
  • Joist hangers & structural fasteners
  • Self-leveling underlayment
  • Moisture barriers where needed

Structural repair is quoted honestly — sometimes the fix is smaller than feared, and we will tell you so.
