Floor & Shower Tile in Hialeah, FL

Home › Tile Installation › Hialeah

Gold Hands offers tile installation in Hialeah, FL: floors, shower walls and pans, backsplashes and accent walls in porcelain, ceramic or natural stone, plus regrouting and repair of cracked or loose tiles. Every job is priced per project. Send photos and rough measurements by phone or WhatsApp and we return a free estimate, with no visit needed to get a number.

Most tile calls in Hialeah start with one of three things: a floor that has cracked or started to sound hollow underfoot, a shower whose grout keeps going dark no matter how often it is scrubbed, or a kitchen that needs a backsplash to look finished. The work itself depends on what is underneath. Sound concrete takes new tile well; a soft subfloor, an old mortar bed or failing waterproofing has to be dealt with first, and we tell you which one you have.

To start, text or WhatsApp (786) 788-8714 with a few photos: one wide shot of the whole area, a close-up of any cracks or stained grout, and one of the edges where tile meets the tub, cabinets or door frame. Add a rough length and width, and the tile you like if you have already picked one. We answer in English or Spanish and send back a per-project estimate.

Working with terrazzo, plaster and original mortar beds

Central Hialeah is densely built 1950s-to-1970s housing — single-family homes, duplexes and small apartment buildings on compact lots — while Miami Lakes to the north is a planned community of homes, villas and townhomes.

Mid-century homes in Hialeah 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.

Floors and showers in concrete-block houses

The concrete-block houses and townhomes common in Hialeah usually have tile laid directly on a slab, which is a good base. The request we see most often is replacing a dated floor across the living room, kitchen and hallways in one continuous run, so there are no transitions between rooms. That kind of job is mostly removal, leveling and careful layout down long hallways.

Slabs in these houses can have hairline shrinkage cracks, and some of them telegraph through tile over time as cracked grout lines or cracked tiles running in a straight path. Where we find them, we put a crack isolation membrane under the new tile in that area. It is a small extra step that keeps the same crack from reappearing in the new floor.

How a tile project works

Free estimate by phone or WhatsApp: send photos, rough dimensions and, if you have picked one, the tile. We price the project as a whole and point out anything in the photos that needs a closer look.
Agreement in writing: the scope, materials, who buys the tile, the layout direction, the schedule and how surprises behind the old tile will be handled are all written down before we start.
Permits where required: ordinary retiling does not move plumbing. If yours turns into relocating plumbing or structural work, we tell you before quoting, and that part goes through our general contractor partner and the City of Hialeah building department (or the Town of Miami Lakes for addresses there).
Tile work: removal, prep, leveling and waterproofing come first, then setting from a center line so the cuts are balanced. We let materials cure properly between stages instead of rushing to grout.
Final check and report: we walk the job with you, tap-test floors for hollow spots, confirm drains and thresholds, clean up, and send a short photo report of the finished work.

Timing: what makes tile work short or long

What we find under the old tile also matters. A sound slab or dry backer board lets us move straight to new tile. A cracked slab, soft drywall, a rotted subfloor or a leaking valve adds steps, and we stop to show you before continuing. In condos, association approval and elevator booking can set the start date, so it helps to begin that paperwork early.

Tile Installation in Hialeah — questions we get asked

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.

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.

How long will my tile project take?

It depends on scope more than on square footage. Regrouting or a backsplash is usually a matter of days. Full floors and shower rebuilds take longer, because demolition, leveling, waterproofing, setting and grouting happen in stages and need time to cure. Special-order tile, condo approvals and anything found under the old floor can also shift the timeline. Your written schedule spells out the order of work.

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.
