Backsplash and Floor Tile in North Miami Beach

Home › Tile Installation › North Miami Beach

Gold Hands offers tile installation in North Miami Beach, 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.

Homeowners in North Miami Beach 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 in older North Miami Beach homes

Despite the name, North Miami Beach is inland: mostly mid-century single-family subdivisions from the 1950s on, mixed with condo and apartment communities.

Older houses in North Miami Beach, especially around the mid-century subdivisions and the condo communities, often hide terrazzo under carpet or a later layer of tile. Before tearing anything out, it is worth checking: terrazzo in good condition can sometimes be restored by a terrazzo specialist instead of covered, and tiling over it takes specific prep. Send us a photo of a closet corner or a lifted edge where the original floor may show, and we tell you what we think is underneath.

Original bathrooms in these houses were often built with a thick mortar bed behind the wall tile and under the floor. That construction is solid but heavy, and removing it reveals what the walls are really made of: plaster on lath, concrete block or old framing. We plan for the extra demolition and haul-away it creates, and we rebuild the walls with backer board and a waterproofing membrane before retiling.

The scope of a tile job with Gold Hands

We list each item that applies to your project separately, so you can see where the prep ends and the finish work begins.

Shower pans, curbs, niches and benches built and waterproofed before tiling
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

Replacing old floor tile in 55-plus and garden condos

For residents of 55-plus communities, tile choices are often about safety as much as looks. A textured or matte porcelain is less slippery in a bathroom than polished tile, and a low-curb or curbless shower is easier to step into. We can talk through those options from your photos, including where grab bars will go, so the tile layout leaves clean, solid spots for them.

Many owners in these communities are part-time residents. If you are away for the summer, we can work from photos, send progress pictures as the job moves along, and coordinate access with the office or a neighbor who holds a key. Before you leave, it helps to have the association's approval in place, so the work can start on schedule without you having to be there.

How we take a tile job from estimate to walkthrough

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 North Miami Beach building department (or Miami-Dade County for the unincorporated pockets).
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.

What sets the pace of a tile project

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 North Miami Beach — 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.

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.

How much does tile installation cost in North Miami Beach?

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.

What if a tile cracks or the grout fails after you finish?

Tell us. Send a photo by text or WhatsApp and we come back to look. Sometimes the cause is the installation, and sometimes it is something else, such as a slab crack that moved or a leak elsewhere in the house. We explain what we find and how we would fix it, and the spare tile we left labeled after the job makes the repair match.
