Professional installation of durable, waterproof flooring systems. We handle layout, demolition, materials, and finishing for stunning bathroom floors that last.
Installing new bathroom flooring is more involved than just laying down tile or vinyl. It starts with understanding the existing conditions, planning the layout to minimize cuts and waste, and then demolishing the old floor carefully without damaging the structure beneath. We assess the substrate, address any moisture issues, and ensure proper waterproofing before any new material goes down. The final steps involve setting the material to precise specifications and finishing the edges and transitions cleanly.
What makes the process different from other rooms is the moisture factor. Bathrooms demand flooring that won't rot, warp, or harbor mold. That's why we take waterproofing seriously and use materials rated for wet environments. When you hire a contractor for bathroom flooring installation in Portland, you're investing in something that needs to handle daily shower spray, occasional splashes, and humidity for years to come.
We evaluate the current floor, check for water damage, and examine the substrate. Measurements are taken to plan layout, determine material quantities, and identify any structural concerns that need addressing before installation begins.
The old flooring is removed safely, debris is cleared, and the subfloor is inspected. We identify and repair any soft spots, rot, or uneven areas. The surface is cleaned and leveled to ensure a proper foundation for the new floor.
Before any new flooring material is installed, we apply appropriate waterproofing systems. This might include waterproof membranes, schluter strips, or other moisture barriers depending on the material choice and bathroom layout. This step is critical to prevent water damage down the line.
Whether ceramic tile, porcelain, vinyl, or another material, installation requires skill and precision. Layout is marked to ensure even grout lines or seams. Materials are set to proper specifications with appropriate adhesives or mechanical fasteners. Spacing and leveling are checked throughout to avoid lippage or uneven surfaces.
Grout is applied and tooled to the right profile, then cleaned properly. Sealers are applied where needed. Transitions to walls and adjacent rooms are finished with trim, thresholds, or caulk. A final inspection ensures everything is level, clean, and ready to use.
Affordable and widely available, ceramic tile offers decent water resistance when installed with proper underlayment. It can crack under impact, so it works best in bathrooms with good support below. Comes in countless colors and patterns.
Denser and more durable than ceramic, porcelain handles moisture exceptionally well. Less porous and more stain-resistant, it's ideal for high-moisture bathrooms. Costs more but lasts significantly longer with minimal maintenance.
Waterproof by nature and softer underfoot, LVP is gaining popularity for bathrooms. Warm, comfortable, and easy to clean. Quality vinyl can mimic the look of wood or stone convincingly without the maintenance concerns.
Marble, slate, and granite bring elegance but require proper sealing and ongoing maintenance. Stone is slippery when wet and can be prone to staining. Best reserved for lower-moisture areas or those committed to regular care.
Lab-made composites offer the look of natural stone with better durability and water resistance. Consistent patterns, non-porous, and require less sealing than natural options. Higher upfront cost but lower maintenance.
Budget-friendly with waterproof properties built in. Seams are a potential weak point, so installation must be precise. Works for simpler bathroom layouts and those prioritizing ease of cleaning over visual impact.
Bathroom flooring isn't a DIY-friendly project unless you have serious tile or vinyl experience. Poor installation leads to water seeping under the floor, causing mold, rot, and structural damage that costs far more to repair. Professional contractors know how to handle drainage, pitch floors properly, and apply waterproofing systems correctly. They also have tools that make cuts precise and work efficient, reducing the time your bathroom is out of commission.
