From established Orleans streets to newer subdivisions, we adjust our approach to the age of the home.
Every shower and tub surround gets membrane waterproofing and a correctly sloped shower pan.
We fix cracked tile, failing grout, and old caulk lines as readily as we handle full retiles.
Orleans is an established suburban community on Ottawa’s east side with a genuine mix of housing ages – long-settled streets alongside newer subdivision pockets. That mix means our work here splits between renovation of older bathrooms, where grout and waterproofing have aged out, and finishing tile in newer builds where a homeowner wants an upgrade from the standard builder tile.
Orleans sits on Ottawa's east side and is an established suburban community with a genuine mix of housing ages, long-settled neighbourhoods next to newer subdivision development.
That variety shapes how we approach each project: an older Orleans bathroom often needs its aging grout, caulk, and waterproofing looked at, while a newer subdivision home is more often a finishing or upgrade job.
We handle bathroom and shower retiling, kitchen backsplashes, and floor tile installation throughout Orleans, always starting with proper cementitious backer board and membrane waterproofing in wet areas.
For older homes, that often means removing tile down to the studs to correct water damage or improve the waterproofing before retiling; for newer builds, it's a more straightforward upgrade over existing rough-ins.
Because Orleans isn't a single uniform housing type, we don't treat every quote the same way. An older home gets assessed for hidden moisture or subfloor issues behind the existing tile, while a newer-subdivision project is scoped around the builder's existing plumbing and layout.
Either way, you get a clear written quote before we start.

We assess whether your home is an older Orleans property needing a closer look at existing waterproofing or a newer subdivision build, then provide a clear written quote.
For older homes we remove tile down to the studs where needed to correct hidden moisture; for newer builds we work around the existing rough-ins, always with proper membrane waterproofing in wet areas.
We walk through the finished tile with you and cover grout and sealant care going forward.
Tiles Experts provides professional tile installation, repair, and waterproofing to homeowners and businesses across Orleans, Ontario.
Yes. Orleans has a genuine mix of established and newer housing, so we regularly do both renovation retiling in older bathrooms and finishing tile work in newer subdivisions.
Not always. Depending on how far the underlying waterproofing has failed, we can sometimes regrout or do a targeted repair rather than a full tear-out. We'll assess this during your quote.
No, cosmetic like-for-like retiling doesn't need a City of Ottawa permit as long as plumbing, electrical, and walls stay untouched. Moving plumbing or changing the layout does require one.
We'll try to find a close match, though older discontinued tile lines sometimes require a full section replacement for a consistent look – we'll go over the options with you.
