What this category covers
Tile and marble flooring work spans everything from ripping out old floor tiles and re-screeding a base, to laying porcelain, ceramic, homogeneous, or natural marble and granite in homes, shops, and offices around Petaling Jaya. It also covers skirting, feature walls, staircase cladding, and honing or polishing marble that's gone dull or stained. Some contractors also handle waterproofing before tiling wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and balconies, which matters as much as the tiling itself if you want to avoid leaks into the unit below.
What to check before you hire
Ask how they price the job: per square foot including materials, or labor only with you supplying tiles. Get clarity on who handles wastage (cutting loss on marble and large-format tiles can run 10-15%), levelling of an uneven base, and disposal of old tiling debris. For marble specifically, ask about slab matching (vein and color consistency across a room), sealing after installation, and how they handle lippage (uneven edges between tiles) since this is the most common complaint with poor tiling work. A firm that's willing to show past jobs with similar tile sizes and finishes to yours is usually more dependable than one that just quotes a price over the phone.
