A perfect tile installation starts with a perfectly prepared surface. At RHM Tiling, we provide expert floor leveling and surface preparation services to ensure every installation is stable, flat, and long-lasting.

Even the best tiles won’t perform well if the surface beneath them isn’t right. That’s why we take the time to prepare every floor and wall properly before setting a single tile.

Why Floor Leveling Matters

Uneven subfloors can lead to cracks, hollow spots, or misaligned tiles. Proper leveling ensures:

Long-lasting flooring performance
Even, professional appearance
Comfortable, solid footing
Prevention of cracks and tile movement

The Right Way to Level

Some installers rely on leveling clips to mask uneven floors, but that’s only a short-term fix. We correct the real problem by leveling the substrate itself.

Our Leveling Process

Assessment: We inspect the area to identify dips, humps, or other irregularities that can affect the finish.
Measurement and Marking: Using laser leveling tools and straightedges, we map out the high and low points.
Material Selection: Depending on the project, we use self-leveling compounds, dry-pack mortars, or cement mixes that meet industry standards.
Application: We apply and smooth the selected material according to exact manufacturer specifications for curing time and thickness. The result is a stable, perfectly flat surface ready for tile.

Surface Preparation and Underlayment

We also install a variety of underlayment systems to improve stability, moisture protection, and sound reduction. Types of underlayment include:

Uncoupling membranes to prevent cracks and allow substrate movement
Liquid-applied membranes for combined waterproofing and crack resistance
Cement boards for wet or dry areas
Sound-reduction membranes for condos and multi-level buildings

Built to Last

Each surface is treated according to its purpose and environment. Our goal is to ensure every floor and wall is ready for a tile installation that will last for decades.

Professional vs. DIY

While leveling may look simple, it requires precision tools and experience. Small mistakes in surface prep can lead to visible defects or premature failure later. With RHM Tiling, you can be sure the job is done accurately, efficiently, and to professional standards.
