Gold Hands offers tile installation in Davie, FL — new floors, tub surrounds, walk-in showers with proper waterproofing, kitchen backsplashes and grout work for homes and condos across Broward County. Pricing is per project, never a guess over the phone: you text or WhatsApp photos and measurements, and we send back a free written estimate based on what we see.
Homeowners in Davie usually come to us with a picture already in mind: a walk-in shower with a niche and a bench, wood-look porcelain running through the main living area, or a clean subway backsplash behind the range. Our job is to get the layout right before the first tile is set, so cuts land where they will not be noticed and grout lines run straight with the walls and cabinets.
Start with photos and numbers. Text or WhatsApp (786) 788-8714 with the dimensions of the area, pictures from each corner, and a link or photo of the tile you are considering, including its size. For a shower, include the valve, the drain and the ceiling. Hablamos español, so the whole conversation, from the estimate to the final walkthrough, can happen in Spanish if you prefer.

Tile for Davie properties with guest houses and outbuildings
Davie keeps a semi-rural, equestrian character: houses on oversized lots, ranch homes and newer gated subdivisions, often with guest quarters, barns or workshops behind the main house.
Properties in Davie with larger lots often have more than one building to think about: a guest house, a pool bath, a summer kitchen, a workshop or a barn office. Each has its own tile needs. A pool bath sees wet feet and chlorine, a summer kitchen sees heat and grease, and a guest house usually needs a full bathroom and a durable floor.
We can price several areas on one property as a single project and schedule them in a sensible order, which saves trips and keeps materials consistent. Send photos of each building and a rough sketch or note of the sizes. If an outbuilding has no water shutoff of its own, let us know, since that affects how shower work is planned.
What tile work in Davie can include
We list each item that applies to your project separately, so you can see where the prep ends and the finish work begins.
- Transitions and thresholds where tile meets wood, carpet or another floor
- Tile baseboards, step edges and ledges finished with trim profiles
- Haul-away of demolition debris and a broom-clean, wiped-down finish
- Removal of old tile, thinset and mortar beds down to a sound surface
- Floor leveling with self-leveling compound so large-format tile sits flat
- Cement backer board or foam board on shower and tub walls
- Liquid or sheet waterproofing membranes in showers, tub surrounds and other wet areas
- Shower pans, curbs, niches and benches built and waterproofed before tiling

Floors and showers in concrete-block houses
Kitchen backsplashes are one of the most common tile jobs in Davie suburbs, often done along with new countertops or a paint refresh before a sale. We set backsplash tile after the countertops are installed, cut neatly around outlets and switches, and finish the bottom edge with a flexible caulk joint instead of grout, because that seam moves slightly as the house expands and contracts.
Garages, laundry rooms and covered patios in these houses are also good candidates for porcelain, which handles water, heat and heavy use. Patios that are open to rain need a tile rated for exterior use and a slight slope for drainage. We look at your photos to confirm whether the existing slab drains in the right direction before recommending outdoor tile.
How we take a tile job from estimate to walkthrough
- Photos and measurements first: a wide shot, a few close-ups and the length and width of each area are enough to start. We answer with a free estimate priced for the whole project, not by guesswork.
- A written plan: before work starts you get the scope, the tile and trim chosen, the grout color, a start date and the order of work, so you know which rooms are affected and when.
- Permits where required: if the tile job turns into moving a drain, a valve or structural repair, we tell you before quoting. That part goes through our general contractor partner and the Town of Davie building department (or the Town of Southwest Ranches for addresses there), separately from the tile.
- Installation: demolition and haul-away, substrate repair and leveling, a membrane in showers and wet areas, a dry layout to place the cuts, then setting, grouting and sealing where the material calls for it.
- Walkthrough and photos: we review every surface with you in good light, fix anything that is not right, leave spare tile labeled by room, and send photos of each stage for your records.
How long a tile job takes
Material choice affects the calendar more than people expect. Porcelain and ceramic in common sizes are often in stock locally, while special-order tile, oversized porcelain panels and natural stone can carry real lead times. If you have not picked a tile yet, we can suggest options that are on hand, or plan the start date around a delivery so your floor is not torn up while you wait.

Tile Installation in Davie — questions we get asked
Does my HOA have to approve tile on a porch, patio or pool deck?
Interior tile usually does not go through architectural review, but exterior surfaces visible from the street or from neighbors often do. Many HOAs want to approve the material and color for entries, porches and pool decks before work starts. We give you the tile specifications and photos for the application, register our crew at the gate, and schedule installation once approval is in writing.
Can you tile over old tile or over terrazzo?
Sometimes. Tiling over existing tile or terrazzo saves demolition but raises the floor, which affects doors, thresholds and transitions to other rooms, and it only works if the old surface is flat and firmly attached. In many older homes the terrazzo underneath is worth a look before deciding. We review your photos and tell you whether covering, removing or keeping the old floor makes more sense.
What is not included in a tile job?
Tile installation covers prep, waterproofing, setting, grout and repairs. It does not include moving plumbing, electrical changes, glass shower enclosures, cabinet work or countertop fabrication, though we tell you when your project needs one of those. Mold remediation behind walls and asbestos testing of very old flooring are separate specialties as well; if we suspect either, we stop and let you know.
Do I need a permit to replace tile in Davie?
Replacing tile on existing floors and walls generally stays on the finish side. Moving a drain, relocating a shower valve, changing a layout or repairing structure is different: that work needs a building permit from the Town of Davie building department (or the Town of Southwest Ranches for addresses there). Some building departments also look at shower pan rebuilds, so we check what applies to your address and tell you before quoting, never after the work has started.
Can you regrout my shower instead of replacing the tile?
Often, yes. If the tiles are firmly attached and the wall behind them is dry and solid, we can remove the old grout, regrout and recaulk the corners and tub line, which refreshes the shower without demolition. If tiles sound hollow or the wall gives when pressed, regrouting only hides the problem, and we will tell you that from your photos.
