Our Process

01

Design Consultation

We review your vision and help you select tile, patterns, and grout colors that work together cohesively.

02

Substrate Preparation

Existing surfaces are prepared and waterproofed. Backer board is installed where needed to ensure a stable, moisture-resistant base.

03

Layout & Planning

Tile layout is planned and dry-set before any adhesive is applied to ensure pattern alignment and minimize cuts at focal points.

04

Tile Installation

Tile is set with precision, maintaining consistent joint widths and checking for level and plumb throughout the installation.

05

Grouting & Sealing

Grout is applied, cleaned, and sealed. Natural stone tile receives additional sealer treatment to protect against staining.

What tile styles work best in Brooklyn brownstone and Queens co-op bathrooms?

In Brooklyn brownstone bathrooms, subway tile with contrasting grout is a historically appropriate choice that also appeals to buyers. Large-format marble or stone tile works well in Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights renovations where the LPC permits interior changes. In Queens co-op bathrooms, space-saving large-format tile (24x24 or larger) with minimal grout lines makes compact bathrooms feel larger. General Modernizer has completed hundreds of tile installations across Brooklyn and Queens and can recommend the right tile for your specific space and building type.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of tile is best for showers?+

For shower walls in Nassau County bathrooms, large-format porcelain tile in 12x24 or 24x48 sizes is an excellent choice because it is durable, water-resistant, and has fewer grout lines to clean and maintain. Natural stone such as marble or travertine creates a luxurious, high-end look but requires annual sealing to protect against moisture and staining. For shower floors, smaller tiles with more grout lines provide better slip resistance -- porcelain mosaic tile in 1x1 or 2x2 sizes is a popular and practical choice. Glass tile is another option for accent walls and niches. General Modernizer helps you select the right tile for every surface during your free design consultation. Call (516) 212-7195 to get started.

How long does custom tile installation take?+

A custom tile bathroom installation with General Modernizer in Nassau County typically takes 4 to 8 days depending on the size of the space and the complexity of the pattern. A standard shower tile installation with a single tile type takes 2 to 3 days. A full bathroom with a custom herringbone floor pattern, a contrasting accent wall, and tiled niches may take 6 to 8 days. Complex natural stone installations with precision mitered corners may take slightly longer. We provide a precise, written project timeline during your free in-home consultation. Call (516) 212-7195 to schedule your estimate.

What is the best tile for bathroom floors?+

For bathroom floors in Nassau County homes, porcelain tile is the most popular choice due to its durability, water resistance, and wide range of available styles and finishes. A slip-resistant textured finish is recommended for wet areas such as shower floors and the area immediately outside the shower. Large-format tile in 18x18 or 24x24 creates a clean, open look with fewer grout lines to maintain. Heated floor tile is an increasingly popular option that adds significant comfort during New York winters. Natural stone such as marble or slate creates a premium look but requires annual sealing. General Modernizer installs all tile types. Call (516) 212-7195.

How do I maintain custom tile in my bathroom?+

Porcelain and ceramic tile require minimal maintenance -- regular cleaning with a pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaner is all that is needed to keep them looking new. Avoid bleach-based cleaners on colored grout as they can cause fading over time. Natural stone tile including marble, travertine, and slate should be sealed annually to protect against staining and moisture penetration. Grout joints in high-moisture areas such as showers should be resealed every 1 to 2 years to prevent mold and discoloration. General Modernizer provides detailed care instructions for all tile types installed in your bathroom. Call (516) 212-7195 for more information.
