Floor jobs are compact but unforgiving — slope errors and membrane shortcuts show up as leaks, not looks. Every Plainville 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.
Plainville notes
In Plainville most floors run a day and a half door-to-door: Plainville landlords are repeat customers: a fresh surround and sealed grout between tenants rents the unit faster than any other upgrade. Shower again 24 hours after grout — we'll time it to the hour, not the day.

Common questions
Day one: remove, rebuild base, waterproof, flood test. Day two: tile, grout, detail, flow test, walkthrough. Single-day compressions for simple re-tiles.
Removal morning is the loud half-day; the rest is quiet hand work with barriers and daily cleanup. Condos and occupied homes are routine for us.
24 hours after grout — timed to the hour at walkthrough, based on products used and your ventilation.
We do — old tile, mud bed chunks, packaging. Your curb stays clean.
