Gold Hands offers tile installation in Edgewater, FL — from a single cracked floor tile to a full shower rebuilt down to the waterproofing, in porcelain, ceramic and natural stone, on floors, walls and backsplashes. Send a few photos and room measurements to our phone or WhatsApp. We price the project as a whole, and the estimate is free.

Homeowners in Edgewater 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 work in Edgewater high-rise condos

Edgewater has filled in with glass condo towers along Biscayne Bay since around 2010, while older low-rise apartment buildings and a few remaining houses still line the inland streets.

Large-format porcelain is a popular choice for high-rise living areas in Edgewater, and it is also unforgiving. Tower slabs are rarely perfectly flat, so we check them with a long straightedge and level low spots before setting. That step is easy to skip and expensive to regret, because an uneven slab leads to lippage, where one tile edge sits higher than the next and catches feet and furniture.

Water shutoffs in towers are often controlled by building maintenance rather than by you, so any work near a toilet or shower valve is coordinated with them in advance. We also plan material deliveries around the association's rules: tile cartons are heavy, and some buildings limit how much can travel in the service elevator at once or which days deliveries are allowed.

Tile in older Edgewater homes

Mid-century homes in Edgewater rarely have perfectly square rooms. Walls lean, floors slope slightly toward old drains, and doorways sit at different heights. Good tile layout works with that: we find the room's visual center, split the cuts so neither side ends in a thin sliver, and adjust the floor so thresholds still meet the next room cleanly instead of leaving a lip to trip over.

Many older homes still have cast-iron or galvanized drain and supply lines, and a shower retile exposes them. If we open a wall and find corroded pipe, we stop and show you photos before anything is covered. Replacing those lines is plumbing work that needs a permit, so it is priced and handled separately from the tile, and you decide how to proceed.

How we take a tile job from estimate to walkthrough

  1. Estimate from photos: you text or WhatsApp (786) 788-8714 with pictures of the area and rough measurements. We review them and send a free per-project estimate, with prep, waterproofing and tile setting listed separately.
  2. Scope and schedule in writing: once you approve, we confirm the tile, grout color, layout and start date in writing, along with who supplies which materials and what happens if we find damage underneath.
  3. Permits where required: most tile replacement stays on the finish surfaces. If the job turns into moving plumbing or structural work, we tell you before quoting, and that part goes through our general contractor partner and the City of Miami building department.
  4. The work: we protect floors and furniture, remove the old tile, repair and level the surface, waterproof wet areas, then set tile on a planned layout, grout it, and caulk every change of plane.
  5. Final walkthrough: we walk the finished area with you, check for loose or uneven tiles, clean up, and send a photo report that includes the waterproofing stage before it was covered.

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 Edgewater — questions we get asked

Does my condo association need to approve tile work?

Many associations require approval before any flooring or bathroom work, along with a certificate of insurance, set working hours and a reserved service elevator. Many also require sound-rated underlayment under new hard floors in units above others. Ask management for the renovation rules early and send them to us; we build their requirements into the scope and schedule so the work is not stopped halfway.

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.

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.

Who buys the tile, you or me?

Either way works. Many clients choose tile themselves at a showroom or store, and we tell them how much to order, including extra for cuts and future repairs. Most of the time we supply the setting materials, membranes and grout. The written scope states exactly who provides what, so nothing is missing on the morning installation is supposed to start.

Do you come out to measure before giving an estimate?

Estimates are based on the photos and measurements you send, which is usually enough for a clear price. Take a wide picture of the space, close-ups of any damage, and the length and width of each area. If something cannot be judged from photos, such as a floor that may sit on a damaged subfloor, we tell you, and a paid site visit can be arranged.
