Tile Installation in Kendall, FL

Home › Tile Installation › Kendall

Gold Hands offers tile installation in Kendall, FL — new floors, tub surrounds, walk-in showers with proper waterproofing, kitchen backsplashes and grout work for homes and condos across Miami-Dade 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.

A typical tile job in Kendall involves more prep than people expect. Old tile has to come up, the thinset underneath gets ground down, low spots get leveled, and in wet areas a waterproofing membrane goes on before any tile does. That prep is what keeps a floor from cracking and a shower from leaking behind the wall, so we price it openly instead of hiding it inside a single number.

You can get an estimate without waiting for a visit. Send photos and rough measurements to (786) 788-8714 by text or WhatsApp. Useful shots: the full room, the floor at a low angle so we can see any dips, the base of the walls, and anything you suspect is water-damaged. Mention whether it is a house or a condo. Spanish-speaking staff are available for calls and messages.

Floors and showers in concrete-block houses

Kendall is classic unincorporated West Miami-Dade suburbia: one-story concrete-block houses from the 1960s through the 1980s, and master-planned, often gated communities like The Hammocks further west.

Kitchen backsplashes are one of the most common tile jobs in Kendall 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.

What tile work in Kendall can include

Here is the work we take on, from a single replaced tile to a full floor or shower, in porcelain, ceramic and natural stone.

Porcelain and ceramic floor tile, including wood-look plank and large-format sizes
Natural stone such as marble and travertine, sealed where the stone calls for it
Kitchen and bar backsplashes, with clean cutouts around outlets and window trim
Bathroom wall tile, tub surrounds and wainscot-height accent walls
Grout removal and regrouting, with mildew-resistant or epoxy grout options
Replacement of cracked, loose or hollow-sounding tiles, matched where the tile is still available
Silicone caulk at changes of plane: tub edges, inside corners and countertop joints
Transitions and thresholds where tile meets wood, carpet or another floor

Tile projects in gated and master-planned neighborhoods

In gated and master-planned communities in Kendall, interior tile work rarely needs architectural review, but the HOA still has a say in how the work happens. Common rules cover contractor registration at the gate, allowed working hours, where trucks and debris containers can park, and how construction debris leaves the property. We ask for the community's contractor rules up front so there are no surprises at the gate.

Exterior tile is a different matter. Front entries, porches, pool decks and summer kitchens are visible from the street or from neighbors, and many HOAs require approval of the material and color before work begins. We can give you the tile specifications and photos you need for the application, and we schedule the job once the approval comes through in writing.

Our tile process, step by step

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 Miami-Dade County's permitting office.
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.

How long a tile job takes

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 Kendall — 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.

How much does tile installation cost in Kendall?

We price tile per project rather than quoting a number blind, because prep changes everything: leveling, removing a mortar bed or rebuilding a shower pan can outweigh the tile itself. Send photos and rough measurements to (786) 788-8714 by text or WhatsApp and we send back a free estimate that lists demolition, prep, waterproofing and setting separately, so you can see where the cost comes from.

Do you speak Spanish?

Yes. Spanish-speaking staff are available by phone, text and WhatsApp, and the estimate, scope and schedule can all be explained in Spanish. Many families we work with mix both languages at home, so feel free to write in whichever is easier. Just send your photos and measurements to (786) 788-8714 and tell us which language you prefer.

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.
