Tile Flooring Kennesaw and the Greater Metro

Abner Flooring and Remodeling installs ceramic and porcelain tile in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, entryways, and anywhere else you need a surface that holds up. We serve Kennesaw and the broader metro seven days a week, so you're not waiting until Monday to get a crew out. If you've been putting off a tile project because you couldn't pin down a reliable installer, call (404) 706-8999 and we'll get eyes on the job and a quote to you fast.

Tile installation is one of those jobs where the prep work determines everything. A floor that looks uneven, cracks at the grout joints two years later, or has tiles that rock underfoot is almost always a substrate problem, not a tile problem. We assess the subfloor before we ever open a box, make sure the surface is level and structurally sound, then set tile with proper thinset, consistent spacing, and grout that's sealed to last. Material choice, room size, tile format, and layout pattern all affect what a job costs. A small bathroom with 12x12 ceramic runs differently than a large-format porcelain install on a heated slab. Every job is different -- contact Abner Flooring and Remodeling for an accurate estimate.

What We Install and Where

Tile works in more rooms than most homeowners realize.

01

Kitchen Tile

Kitchen floors take constant abuse -- dropped pans, spilled liquids, foot traffic all day. Ceramic and porcelain are genuinely the right call here. We set tile level to the existing subfloor, cut cleanly around cabinets and island bases, and grout with a product rated for high-traffic surfaces.

02

Bathroom Tile

Bathrooms are where amateur tile work fails fastest. Moisture gets into bad grout joints, the substrate shifts, and you end up with cracked or loose tile within a couple of years. We waterproof the substrate where it matters, use the right thinset for wet areas, and seal the grout when we're done.

03

Entryway and Foyer Tile

An entryway is the first floor surface guests see and the hardest-used square footage in the house. Large-format tile makes the space feel open and is easy to clean. We can match existing tile lines in adjacent rooms or help you choose a transition that flows naturally.

04

Laundry Room and Utility Floors

Laundry rooms need flooring that doesn't panic when a hose fitting fails. Tile is the practical choice. We install it quickly -- these rooms are small -- and pair it with baseboard work and paint if you're doing the full room.

Our Process

How a Tile Install Actually Goes

  1. 01

    Subfloor Assessment

    We check for soft spots, flex, moisture, and level before anything else. A tile installation is only as good as what's underneath it. If the subfloor needs patching or leveling compound, we do it ourselves -- we don't hand that off.

  2. 02

    Layout and Setting

    We dry-lay the tile to confirm the pattern, mark reference lines, mix thinset to the right consistency for the tile format, and set each piece with even coverage and consistent joint spacing. Large-format tiles need back-buttering; we don't skip that step.

  3. 03

    Grout, Seal, and Cleanup

    After the thinset cures, we grout the joints, clean the tile face, and seal the grout. We leave the space clean. If the project includes baseboard installation or painting, we sequence the work so tile goes in first and the finish work follows -- one crew, no scheduling gaps.

Full-Service

Tile Is Rarely the Whole Job

Most tile projects come with adjacent work -- baseboards that need replacing after old tile comes up, walls that need patching, paint that's overdue. Most flooring contractors stop at the floor and hand you a list of other people to call. We don't. Chucky Sarmiento and the Abner crew handle the drywall repair, the trim installation, and the paint in the same visit. If you're also replacing floors in adjacent rooms with LVP or hardwood, we can run both installs back to back so the transition strips land right and the finished floor looks intentional. That bundling also matters for Kennesaw and suburban homeowners who are doing a full bathroom or kitchen renovation on a schedule. One point of contact is faster. We're available any day of the week, including weekends, so we can work around your timeline instead of making you work around ours.

Tile Types and What Each One Is Good For

  1. 01

    Ceramic Tile

    The most common and most affordable option. Good hardness, easy to cut, and available in every format from 4x4 to 24x24. Best for indoor, low-to-moderate moisture areas. If budget is the driver, ceramic usually wins.

  2. 02

    Porcelain Tile

    Denser and less porous than ceramic. Handles moisture better, resists staining, and holds up to freeze-thaw cycles if used near exterior transitions. Costs more but lasts longer in wet rooms. Harder to cut, which is why installer experience matters.

  3. 03

    Large-Format Tile

    Formats like 24x48 and 32x32 are popular right now for good reason -- fewer grout joints means a cleaner look and easier maintenance. The tradeoff is the subfloor has to be very flat. We assess that before we quote, not after we've ordered the tile.

  4. 04

    Mosaic and Accent Tile

    Mesh-backed mosaic tile is a common choice for shower floors, backsplashes, and decorative insets. The install is slower because of the piece count, but the result is worth it. We handle mosaic work as part of a larger tile project, not as a standalone job.

Why the Subfloor Matters More Than the Tile

  1. 01

    Flex Causes Cracks

    Tile is rigid. Subfloors that flex under foot traffic will crack grout joints and eventually crack tile. A good installer fixes the flex before setting a single piece.

  2. 02

    Moisture Causes Failure

    In bathrooms especially, moisture that gets behind poorly set tile destroys the substrate. Waterproof membranes and proper thinset choices prevent a repair job three years from now.

  3. 03

    Level Determines the Look

    Tile that's not level is immediately visible -- especially with large-format pieces. Self-leveling compound costs almost nothing compared to resetting a floor that's done wrong. We don't skip it to save time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tile Flooring

How long does a tile floor installation take from start to finish?
A typical bathroom or kitchen tile install takes two to three days -- one day for subfloor prep and setting, one day for the thinset to cure, then a third day for grouting and sealing. Larger rooms or complex patterns take longer. We don't rush the cure time; that's where corners get cut and tiles start cracking.
Can tile be installed over existing tile?
Technically yes, but it's usually the wrong call. Tiling over existing tile raises the floor height, can interfere with door clearances and transitions to adjacent rooms, and hides any problems with the original installation. In most cases we recommend pulling the old tile so we can see and fix what's underneath.
What grout type should I use in a bathroom or kitchen?
Sanded grout is standard for joints wider than 1/8 inch; unsanded for tighter joints. Both need sealing in wet areas. Epoxy grout is a step up -- it's harder, stain-resistant, and doesn't require sealing -- but it's less forgiving to work with. We'll recommend the right type based on your tile, joint size, and room use.
How do I know if my subfloor can handle tile without repairs?
Walk the room and feel for flex or bounce. If the floor moves noticeably underfoot, it will crack tile over time. We also check for high and low spots -- anything more than 3/16 inch over 10 feet needs flattening before tile goes down. We assess this as part of the estimate, not as a surprise after the job starts.
Do you handle the trim and baseboards after the tile is set?
Yes. Tile installation almost always means removing baseboards, and the new floor height changes where they sit. We reinstall or replace baseboards as part of the project. If you want new trim work or a full paint refresh after the tile is done, we handle that too -- same crew, no separate scheduling.
Is porcelain worth the extra cost over ceramic for a kitchen floor?
In most kitchens, yes. Porcelain's lower porosity means it doesn't absorb grease and liquids the way ceramic can over time, and the surface hardness holds up better around heavy appliances. If budget is tight, a quality ceramic with sealed grout is still a solid floor. We'll give you both options and let you decide.
