Two Days, Six Steps

From first knock to flow-tested handoff.

Floor jobs are compact but unforgiving — slope errors and membrane shortcuts show up as leaks, not looks. Every Rocky Hill floor follows six steps with hold-points you can inspect: after removal (see the substrate), after waterproofing (see the membrane + flood test), and at handoff (flow test + walkthrough). No step gets buried before you can check it.

  1. Diagnose. Moisture map, pan assessment, fixed written quote — free.
  2. Remove. Floor out to a clean wall line; walls, glass protected.
  3. Rebuild base. Slope verified or re-poured; membrane + clamped drain.
  4. Flood test. Pan proven watertight before a single tile is set.
  5. Tile & grout. Full-coverage set, epoxy grout, sealed transitions.
  6. Flow test & walkthrough. Drain proven, punch-listed, care guide in hand.

Rocky Hill notes

In Rocky Hill most floors run a day and a half door-to-door: Rocky Hill condo owners tile one tub surround and the neighbors follow — whole buildings refresh one unit at a time. Shower again 24 hours after grout — we'll time it to the hour, not the day.

FAQ

Common questions

When can I shower?

24 hours after grout — timed to the hour at walkthrough, based on products used and your ventilation.

Who hauls debris?

We do — old tile, mud bed chunks, packaging. Your curb stays clean.

Do I need to be home?

For diagnosis and walkthrough yes; workdays are fine with a key — contained area, one crew, locked up after.

What about my glass doors?

Protected in place or removed to padded storage and reinstalled — our responsibility either way, stated in the quote.
