Yes, RenoHouse installs electric radiant heating systems under tile flooring. Heated tile floors are especially popular in Georgetown bathrooms and kitchens for comfort during cold winter months. The heating system adds minimal height to the floor.

A typical bathroom floor takes 1-2 days, a kitchen floor 2-3 days, and a full-home tile installation 5-10 days depending on size and complexity. This includes subfloor prep, waterproofing, tile setting, and grouting.

Absolutely. Waterproofing under bathroom tile prevents moisture from reaching the subfloor, which can cause rot, mold, and structural damage. RenoHouse uses premium waterproofing membranes like Schluter DITRA on every wet-area tile installation.

We install all tile patterns including straight lay, diagonal, herringbone, basketweave, running bond, pinwheel, and custom designs. Our installers have experience with large-format tiles, mosaics, and intricate natural stone patterns.

In some cases, tile can be installed over existing tile or vinyl if the surface is flat and structurally sound. However, we often recommend removing old flooring for the best results. RenoHouse will assess your situation during the free estimate.

Tile floors are low-maintenance — regular sweeping and mopping keep them looking great. We recommend resealing grout lines every 1-2 years to prevent staining. Natural stone tiles may need periodic sealing as well. RenoHouse provides care instructions after every installation.

Porcelain tile and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) are the top choices for mudrooms and entryways in Ontario homes. Both handle salt, snow, and heavy foot traffic without damage. LVP with a wear layer of 20 mil+ is our recommendation for its warmth underfoot, easy cleaning, and excellent durability.

Engineered hardwood works well in kitchens — it's more dimensionally stable than solid hardwood, handling humidity and temperature changes better. We recommend finishes with enhanced moisture resistance for kitchen use. For maximum durability near sinks and dishwashers, luxury vinyl plank offers a hardwood look with waterproof performance.

Move small items and breakables from the rooms being done. We handle moving larger furniture. Ensure the area is dry and the home is at normal temperature for 48 hours before installation. Floating floors need materials to acclimate in your home for 24–48 hours before installation for best results.
