Yes! We understand that home improvement projects are significant investments. We offer flexible payment options including payment plans for larger projects. We typically require a deposit to begin work, with progress payments throughout the project, and final payment upon completion. Contact us to discuss payment options that work for your budget.

We recommend scheduling your tile installation project 2-4 weeks in advance, especially during our busy seasons (spring and summer). However, we can often accommodate urgent projects with shorter notice. For large or complex projects, earlier scheduling allows more time for design planning and material ordering. Contact us as soon as you're ready to discuss your project timeline.

While we strive to complete all projects on schedule, sometimes unexpected issues arise (like discovering water damage or structural problems). We maintain clear communication throughout the project and will immediately inform you of any complications, provide solutions, and adjust timelines as needed. We never proceed with additional work without your approval and will always discuss cost implications upfront.
