How to Choose a Tile Installer in Windsor-Essex County
-
Plaza Ontario
1. Check Reviews and Reputation
Start with reputation. Google reviews can give you a good idea of the experience other homeowners have had.
A strong rating — ideally around 4.5 stars or higher with a minimum of 100 reviews — is a good sign when choosing a local renovation company. For example, Plaza Ontario is proud to be a trusted choice for tile, flooring, countertops, and installation in Windsor.
2. Look at Experience
Tile installation is not the type of job where you want guesswork. Experience matters.
Different spaces come with different challenges. Bathrooms require waterproofing considerations. Kitchen backsplashes need clean layouts and careful cuts. Large-format tiles require proper surface preparation and precision. Flooring projects need to be durable enough for everyday use.
When choosing a tile installer, ask yourself:
- How long has this business been working in tile and flooring?
- Have they worked with projects similar to yours?
- Can they guide you through the process before installation begins?
3. Ask What Types of Tile They Can Install
Not all tile projects are the same — Before hiring someone, make sure they are comfortable working with the tile you plan to use, such as:
- porcelain tile
- ceramic tile
- glass tile
- mosaic tile
- marble or natural stone
- large-format tile
- backsplash tile
- shower tile
- floor tile
This is especially important for specialty materials or layouts. Large-format tiles, mosaics, herringbone patterns, shower niches, and feature walls all require careful planning and skilled installation.
4. Choose a Team That Helps Before Installation
A great tile project begins long before the first tile is installed.
Choosing the right tile, pattern, grout colour, layout, trim, and placement can make a huge difference in the finished result. That’s why it can be helpful to work with a company that doesn’t only install tile, but also helps you shop and design the project.
When you work with a tile store that also offers installation, you can often enjoy a more seamless experience because your product selection and installation planning happen together.
That means fewer surprises, better coordination, and a clearer path from inspiration to finished renovation.
5. Ask About Sales and Installation Offers
If you’re still shopping for tile, it’s worth asking whether your installer also sells tile — because you may be able to take advantage of current product promotions and installation offers.

6. Look at Recent Project Examples
Before choosing a tile installer, take time to look at examples of finished work.
Photos and videos can help you understand the installer’s style, attention to detail, and ability to bring different design ideas to life.
For example, here is a recent bathroom renovation completed by Plaza Ontario:
