Porcelain tile is denser, harder, and more water-resistant than ceramic — making it ideal for high-traffic areas and wet spaces. Ceramic tile is more affordable and easier to cut, great for walls and lighter-use floors. RenoHouse installs both across Oakville.

Yes, RenoHouse installs electric radiant heating systems under tile flooring. Heated tile floors are especially popular in Oakville 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.

Wide-plank white oak is the most popular premium choice — it's durable, takes stain beautifully, and suits both contemporary and traditional interiors. Hickory offers dramatic grain variation, while walnut provides rich, warm tones. We source from premium mills and install with meticulous attention to pattern and grain matching.

Electric in-floor heating under tile or stone adds $8–$15/sq ft but transforms bathroom and kitchen comfort. It's especially popular in upscale bathrooms where bare feet meet cold tile on winter mornings. We install heating mats with programmable thermostats for zone-controlled comfort.

In premium homes, seamless transitions are essential. We use flush reducers, custom thresholds, and precise material transitions to maintain visual flow between rooms. Continuous wide-plank hardwood through main living areas with stone or large-format tile in wet areas is the classic luxury approach.
