What advice would you give a customer before they start a tile project with you?
Before you start your tile project with Kick-N-Boots Tile, preparing helps ensure a smooth process and results you’ll enjoy for years to come. At Kick‑N‑Boots Tile, we guide you through every step, but a little planning on the front end makes the experience even better. Here’s what we recommend before your project begins:
Have a Clear Vision for Your Space
Think about the style, colors, and overall look you want to achieve. Inspiration photos or examples help us understand your goals and recommend the best layout and materials.
Select Quality Materials
Tile, grout, and setting products vary in durability and performance. If you’re unsure what to choose, we’re happy to help you select materials that fit your design, budget, and long‑term needs.
Consider How the Space Will Be Used
Bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, and outdoor areas all have different requirements. Understanding your daily use helps us recommend the right tile type, pattern, and installation method.
Establish a Realistic Budget
A clear budget allows us to tailor options to your project. We provide detailed, transparent estimates so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
Plan for the Project Timeline
Quality tile work takes time. Knowing your preferred schedule helps us plan efficiently and keep the project moving smoothly without compromising craftsmanship.
Prepare the Area
Before installation begins, make sure the space is accessible and free of personal items. We handle the rest — protecting floors, managing dust, and maintaining a clean, organized workspace.
Ask Questions Anytime
We encourage open communication. Whether you have questions about materials, layout, or maintenance, we’re here to help you make informed decisions with confidence.

Our Process: What to Expect When Working With Kick‑N‑Boots Tile. We believe a great tile project starts with clear communication and ends with craftsmanship you can rely on for years. Here’s how we guide you from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.
1. Initial Consultation
Every project begins with a conversation about your goals, style, and vision. We discuss the space, your ideas, and any inspiration photos you may have. This helps us understand exactly what you want to achieve.
2. On‑Site Evaluation
We visit your home to take accurate measurements, inspect the existing conditions, and evaluate what’s needed for proper preparation. This step ensures the estimate is precise and the installation plan is solid.
3. Detailed Estimate
You receive a clear, itemized estimate outlining materials, labor, prep work, and the project timeline. No surprises — just transparent pricing and a full understanding of what’s included.
4. Material Selection & Design Guidance
We help you choose the right tile, grout, layout, and transitions to match your style and the function of the space. Our guidance prevents costly mistakes and ensures the final design feels intentional and balanced.
5. Scheduling & Preparation
Once materials are selected and approved, we schedule your project. Before work begins, we ask that the area be cleared of personal items. We handle the rest — protecting floors, managing dust, and preparing the workspace.
6. Professional Installation
This is where craftsmanship takes center stage. We complete all prep work, waterproofing, layout planning, and tile installation with precision and attention to detail. Every cut, joint, and line is done to industry standards and built to last.
7. Clean‑Up & Final Inspection
When the installation is complete, we clean the workspace thoroughly and walk through the finished project with you. We make sure everything meets your expectations and answer any questions about care and maintenance.
8. Long‑Term Confidence
Our work is built to perform for years. You leave the project with a beautiful, durable installation — and the peace of mind that comes from hiring a craftsman who stands behind every detail.
