Commercial Services FAQ

Information about our commercial tile and stone installation services for businesses.

1Do you handle commercial projects?

Yes, we provide professional tile and stone installation services for a wide range of commercial properties including restaurants, hotels, retail stores, office buildings, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, religious buildings, fitness centers, and multi-family residential properties. Our team has extensive experience with large-scale commercial projects requiring precision, durability, and code compliance.

2Are your commercial installations ADA compliant?

Absolutely. All our commercial installations comply with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements. This includes proper slip-resistance ratings, curbless thresholds, and appropriate surface textures. We understand the accessibility requirements for commercial spaces and ensure all work meets or exceeds federal and local accessibility standards.

3Can you work after hours to minimize business disruption?

Yes, we offer flexible scheduling including after-hours, weekend, and phased installation to minimize disruption to your business operations. Many of our commercial clients prefer overnight or weekend work to maintain normal business hours. We work with you to create a schedule that meets your operational needs.

4What building codes do you comply with?

We comply with all applicable building codes including NYC DOB requirements, NJ construction codes, OSHA safety standards, ADA accessibility requirements, and local fire codes. Our team stays current with code updates and works with building inspectors to ensure full compliance on every commercial project.

5Do you offer commercial warranties?

Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties on all commercial installations. Our standard 10-year workmanship warranty applies to commercial projects, and we can discuss extended warranty options for larger installations. Material warranties from manufacturers also apply. We stand behind our commercial work with the same commitment as our residential projects.

6What is your process for large commercial projects?

For large commercial projects, we follow a structured process: initial site assessment and consultation, detailed project planning and scheduling, material procurement and staging, phased installation to minimize disruption, quality inspections at each phase, and final walkthrough with documentation. We assign dedicated project managers to oversee commercial installations.

7Do you carry commercial liability insurance?

Yes, we carry comprehensive commercial general liability insurance with coverage limits appropriate for commercial projects. We can provide certificates of insurance (COIs) upon request for building management, general contractors, or property owners. Our insurance meets or exceeds requirements for most commercial buildings and GC specifications.

8What commercial tile types do you recommend?

For commercial applications, we typically recommend porcelain tile for its durability, low maintenance, and slip resistance. Specific recommendations depend on the application: quarry tile for commercial kitchens, slip-resistant porcelain for lobbies and restrooms, and luxury vinyl or polished porcelain for corporate offices. We help you select materials that meet your aesthetic goals, traffic requirements, and budget.

9Can you match existing tile in commercial renovations?

We make every effort to match existing tile in renovation projects. We can source matching or complementary tiles from manufacturers, specialty suppliers, and salvage sources. When exact matches aren't available, we suggest design solutions like accent borders, transition zones, or phased replacements. Bring us a sample and we'll explore your options.

10How do you handle commercial project management?

Each commercial project receives a dedicated project manager who serves as your single point of contact. They coordinate scheduling, material deliveries, subcontractors, inspections, and communication. You'll receive regular progress updates, and our project managers are experienced with the documentation and coordination requirements of commercial construction.

11Do you work with general contractors?

Yes, we frequently work as subcontractors on commercial projects led by general contractors. We understand GC coordination requirements, scheduling constraints, and documentation needs. We can provide competitive bids, meet GC insurance requirements, and integrate seamlessly with larger construction teams.

12Do you have experience with healthcare and food service facilities?

Yes, we have extensive experience with healthcare facilities (hospitals, clinics, medical offices) and food service establishments (restaurants, commercial kitchens, cafeterias). We understand the specialized requirements including antimicrobial surfaces, chemical resistance, slip ratings, and health code compliance. Our team is trained in the sanitary installation methods required for these environments.
