Why GCs Work With Us
We understand what you need from a tile sub: reliability, quality, and no surprises.
📸
Documentation You Can Use
Photos of pre-slope, waterproofing, flood tests, and critical transitions. Documentation that protects you with owners and inspectors—and holds up if questions arise later.
🔧
Standards-Based Methods
Work follows TCNA Handbook methods and applicable ANSI standards. When inspectors ask questions, we can point to published requirements—not just "how we've always done it."
🤝
Trade Coordination
Clear communication about lead times, cure schedules, and trade sequencing. We'll tell you when substrate needs to be ready and coordinate with plumbers on drain integration.
✅
Licensed & Insured
