Tile, Grout & Regrout Work in Plantation, FL

Home › Tile Installation › Plantation

Gold Hands offers tile installation in Plantation, 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.

Homeowners in Plantation 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.

Floors and showers in concrete-block houses

Plantation is established suburbia west of Fort Lauderdale — single-family homes from the 1950s through the 1980s, townhomes and villas, and golf-course and gated HOA communities around Jacaranda.

Many bathrooms in Plantation houses built in the 1980s and 1990s have a fiberglass tub with a tiled surround on drywall, or a tiled shower on greenboard. Those materials were common at the time but are not waterproof by themselves, and after years of use the board behind the tile is often soft near the bottom. A full retile replaces it with cement or foam board and a membrane.

Townhomes add a few considerations: shared walls, an association in some communities, and upstairs bathrooms that sit over a living room. For upstairs wet areas we pay close attention to waterproofing and to the toilet flange height after the new floor tile goes in, so the toilet seals properly and nothing drips into the ceiling below. We also check the floor height where tile meets the stairs or a hallway carpet.

What is covered, from prep to grout

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

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 baseboards, step edges and ledges finished with trim profiles
Haul-away of demolition debris and a broom-clean, wiped-down finish
Removal of old tile, thinset and mortar beds down to a sound surface
Floor leveling with self-leveling compound so large-format tile sits flat
Cement backer board or foam board on shower and tub walls

Working inside HOA rules on a tile job

Newer homes in Jacaranda and Broadview Park were often built with builder-grade tile on the floors and a basic shower surround. Owners usually keep the layout and upgrade the finish: larger porcelain in the main areas, a shower with a niche and a clean edge ready for a glass enclosure, and a taller backsplash in the kitchen. The structure is generally sound, so most of the work is careful demolition, prep and setting.

Because these homes are newer, some owners worry about the builder's warranty or community standards. We suggest checking your paperwork before major changes, and we document the work with photos at each stage, including the waterproofing before tile covers it, and share them with you. That record is useful later, whether for the HOA, a future buyer or simply your own files.

From photos to finished tile

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.
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.
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 Plantation building department (or Broward County for unincorporated Broadview Park addresses).
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.
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.

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 Plantation — 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 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.

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.

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 I need a permit to replace tile in Plantation?

Replacing tile on existing floors and walls generally stays on the finish side. Moving a drain, relocating a shower valve, changing a layout or repairing structure is different: that work needs a building permit from the City of Plantation building department (or Broward County for unincorporated Broadview Park addresses). Some building departments also look at shower pan rebuilds, so we check what applies to your address and tell you before quoting, never after the work has started.
