Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does heated floor installation work under tile?

    Heated floor installation begins with removing existing flooring, then laying heating lines across the subfloor, followed by tile installation over the system. Temperature controls and wireless thermostats are installed to manage comfort levels. At Do It Big Custom Tile, we handle the complete process from removal through final tile placement in Bellevue and surrounding areas.
  • What's included in a full bathroom remodel?

    A full bathroom remodel includes planning, design consultation, plumbing and electrical installation, waterproofing, flooring, fixture placement, and custom tile work. This comprehensive approach ensures all systems work together properly. Do It Big Custom Tile coordinates every phase to deliver functional, beautiful bathrooms throughout the Bellevue area.
  • Can you install tile in commercial buildings?

    Yes, professional tile installation works for both residential and commercial projects. Commercial installations require durable materials and expert craftsmanship to withstand higher traffic and daily use. With over 10 years of experience, Do It Big Custom Tile handles commercial tile projects across Omaha and Bellevue.
  • What makes pool tile different from regular tile?

    Pool tile uses luxury glass and porcelain materials designed to withstand constant water exposure and chemical treatments. Installation requires epoxy and waterproof grouting to prevent leaks and damage. At Do It Big Custom Tile, we follow this with post-installation inspections to ensure long-lasting pool accents.
  • How do you waterproof a bathroom during remodeling?

    Waterproofing involves applying moisture barriers to walls and floors before tile installation, especially in shower and tub areas. Proper waterproofing prevents mold, structural damage, and costly repairs later. Do It Big Custom Tile includes comprehensive waterproofing as a standard step in all Bellevue bathroom remodels.
  • What's the benefit of an accent wall with tile?

    Tile accent walls create visual focal points and add texture, depth, and personality to any room. They're more durable than paint and easier to clean. At Do It Big Custom Tile, we design custom tile patterns and decorative wainscoting to complement your home's architectural style.
  • When should you clean and restore tile grout?

    Grout should be professionally cleaned when it appears discolored, stained, or loses its original appearance despite regular cleaning. Restoration maintains tile installations and prevents grout deterioration. Do It Big Custom Tile offers grout cleaning services to extend the life and beauty of your tile work in Bellevue.
  • Does kitchen remodeling include electrical upgrades?

    Yes, comprehensive kitchen remodeling includes electrical upgrades to support modern appliances, lighting, and outlets. This ensures your kitchen meets current code and handles increased power demands. At Do It Big Custom Tile, we coordinate electrical work alongside plumbing, demolition, and custom tile installation.

    Electric fireplaces can be fully customized with complete wall tiling and decorative elements tailored to your home's style. This creates a seamless, elegant look that complements existing architecture. Do It Big Custom Tile provides personalized consultations and expert installation for custom fireplace projects in Bellevue.
  • What affects the cost of a bathroom remodel?

    Bathroom remodel costs depend on project scope, materials chosen, plumbing and electrical needs, fixture quality, and whether it's a half, full, or luxury remodel. Waterproofing and custom tile work also influence pricing. At Do It Big Custom Tile, we tailor each remodel to your budget and functional goals.
  • How long does custom tile installation typically take?

    Custom tile installation timelines vary based on project size, design complexity, surface preparation, and whether additional work like waterproofing or flooring removal is needed. Smaller projects may take days, while full remodels require weeks. Do It Big Custom Tile provides realistic schedules during consultations for Bellevue-area projects.
