Unlike typical flooring companies or one-man operations, Footprints Floors isn’t focused on selling you products—we’re dedicated to providing outstanding customer service. Many other companies require you to buy flooring directly from them to use their installation services, limiting your options and potentially guiding you toward choices that may not suit your needs. At Footprints Floors, we install any flooring material you want, regardless of where you purchased it. This approach allows us to remain unbiased and genuinely focused on helping you choose the best solutions for your unique situation. We offer a comprehensive range of services including hardwood installation, wood floor refinishing, tile installations, backsplashes, bathroom remodels, carpet, sheet vinyl, exterior flooring, and more. Because we handle all types of flooring, we’ll never steer you away from refinishing an existing floor or combining different flooring types throughout your home. We have strong relationships with various reputable vendors such as Floor and Decor, ProSource, Shaw, Coretec, and others. This means we can assist you in sourcing materials at discounted prices, and we even offer pick-up and delivery directly to your home, further simplifying your project. Our commitment extends beyond just installation. My production manager visits your job site daily to ensure quality standards are consistently met. We’re dedicated to completing your project efficiently, showing up every day—including weekends—until the job is done to your satisfaction. In short, at Footprints Floors, we’re not just in the flooring business; we’re in the customer service business, dedicated to making your flooring project smooth and stress-free.

"I am pleased to write this review for GM Tiling & Mosaics and Gavin Mulholland’s work. My project was not a complicated project (demo and retile a fireplace surround), but I was in a jam and needed someone quick. Gavin responded to my call right away and found a way to fit me in during the week to help me out. I had a 35-year career in commercial construction project management so was refreshingly surprised and appreciative of Gavin’s high level of professionalism, polite demeanor, punctuality, and communication. Because of his experience, he was able to point out improvements to my plan that I liked. His skills are at the highest level and he took the time to do little extra things around the fireplace that weren’t his scope of work but made it better and saved me work. He finished in 2 ½ days. It was such a good experience for me that I hope I come up with another tiling job for him."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts
Deciding between using a shower pan or tile will likely come down to the shower’s design. You can learn how to install a shower pan liner, but it has a standard look similar to most other showers, though there is some flexibility for material and color choices. Tile, on the other hand, can be customized and is set directly into the shower base. However, a shower tile floor is more difficult to install than a shower pan.
It’s best to install a shower door after the bathroom tile is in place to ensure you have accurate measurements. If you try installing a shower door first, the tile might be too thick to install afterward, or the tile will be too thin and create a gap between the shower doors that allows water to leak. With the tile in place first, you’ll know the exact shower door size that you need.
No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.
The cost to install porcelain tile is about $1,930 on average. Porcelain tile prices range from $880 to $3,000 or more. The average cost tends to be higher than ceramic tile because porcelain tile is very durable. Porcelain tile rating also factors into the material cost.
Tile ratings are as follows:
Grade 0: Walls only
Grade 1: Walls and light traffic floors
Grade 2: Rooms with light traffic, but not kitchens or hallways
Grade 3: Kitchens, hallways, and entryways
Grade 4: Any area, interior or exterior
Grade 5: Highest durability good for any area, interior or exterior
The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.
Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while tile installation cost is higher, it’s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don’t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren’t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.
