Elite Tile Installers Miami is a tile-focused installation crew serving homeowners, condo associations, and commercial property owners across Miami and Miami-Dade County. We aren't a general contractor who occasionally sets tile β€” tile is the entire business, which means every crew member who shows up at your door has spent years doing nothing but layout, cutting, waterproofing, and setting.

That focus matters more in South Florida than almost anywhere else in the country. Our humidity, our hurricane-driven building code, and our mix of 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes, 1970s block construction, and brand-new high-rise condos all put different demands on a tile installation. A shower pan that works in a dry climate can fail here within a year if the waterproofing membrane isn't installed correctly. A grout that looks fine going in can start growing mold in our humidity if the wrong type was used in the wrong location. We build every job around those realities, not around a one-size-fits-all install.

Whether you're re-tiling a single bathroom in Coral Gables, replacing cracked pavers on a pool deck in Kendall, or handling a full commercial build-out downtown, we give you a straight, written price before we start, we protect your home or business while we work, and we stand behind the finished job.

About Elite Tile Installers Miami

Elite Tile Installers Miami is a licensed and insured tile installation company built around one trade, done well. We install floor tile, bathroom and shower tile, kitchen backsplashes, porcelain and natural stone, large-format tile, outdoor patio and pool deck tile, and commercial flooring for clients throughout Miami-Dade County. We also handle tile repair, regrouting, and full tile removal for renovation projects.

Every crew we send out works from a dry layout before any thinset goes down, uses waterproofing systems rated for Florida's wet-area code requirements, and follows manufacturer-spec thinset and grout selection rather than whatever happens to be on the truck. We carry general liability insurance and the coverage required to work in Miami-Dade homes, condo buildings, and commercial properties, and we give every client a written scope and price before the job starts β€” not a verbal estimate that changes once the tile is cut.

Why Miami-Dade Chooses Us for Tile Installation

Miami-Dade homeowners and property managers call us because South Florida tile work has real failure points that generic handyman tile jobs miss β€” shower pans that leak into the unit below, grout that discolors and molds within a season of our humidity, and outdoor tile that pops loose after a single summer of heat expansion. We build every installation to hold up against those conditions specifically, not against a national-average climate.

We also work across the full range of what Miami-Dade housing stock actually is: Coral Gables' 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes, Miami Beach's Art Deco buildings sitting a few blocks from the ocean, Brickell and Aventura high-rise condos with strict building-management requirements, and Kendall, Doral, and Cutler Bay's newer suburban construction. Each one comes with a different subfloor, a different moisture profile, and a different set of constraints, and our crews are equally comfortable in all of them. Call (305) 501-6723 and we'll walk your project with you before you commit to anything.

Floor Tile Installation in Miami

Durable, precision-laid floor tile for living rooms, kitchens, hallways, and whole-home renovations.

  • Our Floor Tile Installation Process β€” Every floor job starts with a walk of the space to check the subfloor for cracks, unevenness, and moisture before we ever quote a price.
  • Subfloor Prep & Crack Isolation Membranes β€” Tile is rigid; subfloors move slightly with temperature, moisture, and settling, and that mismatch is where most floor tile cracks come from.
  • Choosing the Right Tile Format for Your Floors β€” Floor tile options range from standard 12x12 and 12x24 porcelain to large-format 24x24 and 24x48 planks, wood-look porcelain planks, and natural stone.

Bathroom Tile Installation in Miami

Full bathroom tile packages β€” floors, walls, and showers β€” built with real waterproofing behind them.

  • Full Bathroom Tile Packages β€” Most bathroom renovations touch three or four tiled surfaces at once β€” the floor, the shower or tub surround, sometimes an accent wall, and increasingly a floating vanity backsplash.
  • Waterproofing Basics for Bathroom Floors β€” Even outside the shower, a bathroom floor sees more water exposure than almost any other room β€” splashing from the sink, a leaking supply line, condensation.
  • Tile Layout for Small vs. Large Bathrooms β€” A small Miami-Dade bathroom β€” common in Hialeah's and South Miami's older housing stock β€” benefits from larger-format tile with fewer grout lines to visually open up the space, while a primary bathroom in a newer Doral or Cutler Bay build can support a more layered design with a feature wall or contrasting floor pattern.

Installer setting a white subway tile backsplash above a kitchen countertop, Miami

Kitchen Backsplash Installation in Miami

Clean, precisely-cut backsplash tile that ties your countertops and cabinets together.

  • Our Backsplash Installation Process β€” We start by measuring the full backsplash area and marking outlet, switch, and range-hood locations precisely, then dry-lay the tile pattern to plan where cuts fall β€” centering a pattern over a range or sink rather than letting it land wherever the math happens to work out.
  • Material Options: Subway, Mosaic, Stone & Large-Format β€” Classic subway tile remains a Miami favorite for its clean, timeless look and straightforward install, while glass and marble mosaic sheets add texture and light reflection but take longer to set and grout given the number of small pieces.
  • Grout Joint Width & Color Considerations β€” Grout joint width changes the entire character of a backsplash β€” tight joints on subway tile read as more modern and minimal, while a slightly wider joint is more traditional.

Shower Tile Installation & Waterproofing in Miami

Fully waterproofed shower systems β€” membrane, slope, and tile β€” built to actually stop leaks.

  • Waterproofing Systems: Schluter-Kerdi vs. Traditional Mud Pan β€” Schluter-Kerdi and similar sheet-membrane systems bond directly to cement board or properly-prepped drywall and waterproof the entire shower enclosure β€” walls included, not just the pan β€” which makes them excellent for showers with niches, benches, and multiple wall penetrations.
  • Niche & Bench Construction β€” A shower niche or bench is one of the most common leak points because it's easy to frame and tile without giving it its own waterproofing detail β€” every inside corner and seam in a niche needs to be sealed just as carefully as the shower floor.
  • Slope for Proper Drainage β€” A shower floor needs a consistent slope β€” typically around a quarter-inch per foot β€” toward the drain from every direction, with no low spots where water sits after the shower is turned off.

Installer setting large-format porcelain floor tile, Miami

Porcelain Tile Installation in Miami

Dense, low-absorption porcelain tile installed with the mortar and technique it actually requires.

  • What Makes Porcelain Different From Ceramic β€” Porcelain is fired at a higher temperature from a denser clay body, giving it a water absorption rate under 0.5% compared to standard ceramic's higher absorption β€” the reason porcelain is the better call for Miami's humidity and any wet-area application.
  • Cutting & Handling Porcelain Correctly β€” Because porcelain is so dense, it requires diamond-blade wet saws and, on large-format pieces, specialized scoring and snapping tools to get clean edges without chipping or cracking the tile.
  • Large-Format Porcelain Challenges β€” Large-format porcelain β€” anything over roughly 15 inches on a side, up to full slabs several feet across β€” needs a substrate flat to a tighter tolerance than standard tile allows, because there's no frequent grout line to visually break up any waviness.

Natural travertine stone tile installed on a Miami outdoor deck

Natural Stone Tile Installation in Miami

Marble, travertine, limestone, and slate installed with the setting materials and sealing stone actually needs.

  • Stone Types: Marble, Travertine, Limestone & Slate β€” Marble offers the classic polished or honed look with dramatic veining but is among the softer, more porous stones and needs the most careful sealing and maintenance.
  • Sealing Requirements Before and After Installation β€” Most natural stone is porous enough to absorb liquids, stains, and even the pigment from grout if it's not sealed first, so we apply a penetrating sealer to the stone before grouting on any porous material.
  • Setting Materials Specific to Stone β€” We use non-staining white thinset on light-colored and translucent stone like marble and limestone, since a standard gray thinset can telegraph through and discolor the finished surface.

What Our Customers Say

β€œWe had our kitchen backsplash and a full primary bathroom shower redone within about two weeks total. The waterproofing detail around our niche and bench was way more thorough than I expected, and the large-format tile in the shower has zero lippage β€” it looks like a magazine photo. Professional crew, showed up on time every day.”— Maria R.
β€œOur 1970s Kendall house had cracked floor tile in almost every room. They found settling cracks in the slab we didn't know about and installed crack-isolation membrane before laying the new porcelain. It's been over a year now with zero cracks coming back through. Wish we'd called them years earlier.”— David T.
β€œRegrouted our whole condo bathroom in Brickell in a single day with epoxy grout, and the mildew problem we'd been fighting for years is just gone. They also dealt with our building's insurance paperwork and elevator booking without us having to chase anything down.”— Camila S.
β€œThey replaced our old, cracked pool deck in Pinecrest with textured porcelain pavers. It doesn't get nearly as hot underfoot as our old deck did, and the slope toward the drains actually works now β€” no more standing water after it rains. Clean job site the whole time, which mattered with two dogs running around.”— James K.
β€œWe used them for a full commercial build-out on our restaurant's dining room and kitchen floor. They worked overnight shifts so we never had to close, and the quarry tile in the kitchen has held up perfectly to the daily grease and heavy cleaning. Would absolutely use them again for our next location.”— Anthony P.
