Gold Hands offers tile installation in Miami Gardens, FL: floor tile, shower and bathroom walls, backsplashes, grout removal and regrouting, and repair of hollow or loose tiles. Homes and condos throughout Miami-Dade County get a per-project price, worked out for free from the photos and measurements you send us by phone or WhatsApp.

In Miami Gardens we see a lot of floors where owners want to replace dated tile or carpet with large-format porcelain, and a lot of bathrooms where only the shower needs to be redone. Large tiles need a flat floor, so leveling is often part of the job. Showers need the old tile removed down to the backing so the waterproofing can be checked or replaced, not just covered over with something new.

The easiest way to begin is a message to (786) 788-8714, by text or WhatsApp. Send the room size, a photo of the floor taken standing up, and a photo of every doorway, because thresholds and transitions to wood or carpet affect the plan. If you already bought tile, photograph the label on the box. Our team speaks Spanish, so write in whichever language is easier for you.

Working with terrazzo, plaster and original mortar beds

Miami Gardens is mostly one-story single-family homes from the 1950s through the 1970s in long-established neighborhoods such as Bunche Park, Carol City and Norland.

Mid-century homes in Miami Gardens 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.

Replacing 1980s and 1990s tile in suburban houses

The concrete-block houses and townhomes common in Miami Gardens 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 City of Miami Gardens building department, separately from the tile.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

Hurricane season, June 1 through November 30, can shift schedules when storms close supply houses or delay deliveries, and it is a good reason to have materials on hand before a big floor is torn out. If the job grows into moving plumbing or structural work, permit review with the local building department adds time of its own, and we give you a realistic picture of that before you commit.

Tile Installation in Miami Gardens — 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.

How much does tile installation cost in Miami Gardens?

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.

How do you handle cleanup?

Demolition debris is bagged and hauled away as it is created, not left in the yard or a hallway. We protect floors along the path in and out, cover nearby furniture, and vacuum at the end of each workday. When grouting is done we remove the haze from the tile surface and leave the area wiped down and ready to use once the materials have cured.

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.
