Tile Installation in Oak Park
A neighborhood actively being renovated. We work well in occupied homes and phased projects.
Oak Park sits south of Broadway along 35th Street and surrounding blocks. The neighborhood has been in active renovation for over a decade. Many homes here are mid-century bungalows and small Victorians being updated room by room by owners who are living in them during the process. We are comfortable working in occupied homes. We contain dust, work in defined phases, and keep the rest of the house usable.

Questions About Tile Work in Oak Park
Can you work in phases on a remodel while I'm still living in the house?
Yes. We do this regularly in Oak Park. We scope the work by room, complete one area fully before moving to the next, and contain dust with plastic sheeting at doorways. You will have limited access to the work area during installation and curing, but the rest of the home stays functional.
Many Oak Park homes have old asbestos floor tile. How do you handle that?
We do not remove or disturb material that may contain asbestos. If old floor tile is present and suspected to contain asbestos, we recommend having it tested before any demo work. If confirmed, abatement by a licensed contractor is required before we proceed. We can tile over intact, well-bonded old tile in some cases to avoid the issue entirely.
How do you handle debris removal in Oak Park where street access can be limited?
We bag tile debris and load it into our truck for disposal. For larger demo jobs, we can coordinate a small dumpster placed in the driveway rather than the street. We plan the logistics at the estimate stage so there are no surprises on install day.
