Three things go wrong with most tile jobs. Here's how we handle each one.
Coordinating multiple trades
We handle everything: demolition, disposal, substrate prep, waterproofing, drywall, tile installation, and grouting. You hire one team. You make one call.
Shower leaks and water damage
We do waterproofing in-house on every wet area — Schluter membrane systems, installed by the same crew that lays your tile. No subcontractors means no gaps in accountability.
Grout that stains, cracks, and grows mold
We use epoxy grout as our standard. It costs more. It takes more skill to apply. But it won't absorb water, won't stain, won't crack, and won't need resealing.

The hard work most installers avoid
Anyone can lay a straight row of 12×12 tile. These are the jobs that separate a craftsman from a guy with a trowel.
Large-format tile
24×24 and bigger is unforgiving. One low spot in the floor shows as lippage you can feel with bare feet. We level the substrate properly and back-butter every tile.
Mitered edges
Two tiles meeting at a 90° corner with no metal trim — cut at a perfect 45°. It looks seamless. It takes patience and a steady hand to get right.
Vein-matched stone
Marble and travertine come alive when the veining flows across plates. We dry-lay and book-match natural stone before a drop of mortar goes down.
Bulletproof waterproofing
The work you never see — proper slope to the drain, sealed corners, membrane done right. It's why our showers don't leak in year three.
The part you never see
Most of what makes tile last happens before the first tile goes down — and after the last one. Here's the work behind the finish.
STEP 01 Substrate prep & levelling
A flat base is everything. We grind, patch, and level before anything else.
STEP 02 Waterproofing membrane
Schluter Kerdi sealed at every corner and seam. This is what keeps water out of your walls.
STEP 03 Uncoupling membrane (DITRA)
Over concrete slabs, DITRA absorbs movement so your tile doesn't crack with Calgary's frost heave.
STEP 04 Levelling clips & spacers
Every tile set with clips for a dead-flat surface — no lippage you can feel underfoot.
STEP 05 Precision cuts & layout
Mitered edges, outlet cutouts, niche framing — measured twice, cut once.
STEP 06 Epoxy grout & clean-up
Worked in fast, cleaned before it sets, and a final walkthrough before we leave.
Why we use epoxy grout
on every job
Most installers use cement-based grout. It's cheaper and easier to work with. We stopped using it over a decade ago.
Cement grout is porous. It absorbs water, coffee, wine — anything that touches it. Within a year, it stains. Within two, it cracks. In a shower, it grows mold inside the pores. You end up regrouting every 3–5 years, or living with grout that looks dirty no matter how hard you scrub.

What homeowners say
Real reviews from Calgary and area.
"They handled everything — tore out the old tile, fixed the floor, waterproofed, and tiled. We didn't have to coordinate a single other trade. Cleanest job site I've seen."
"The epoxy grout was something no other quote even mentioned. A year later it still looks brand new — no staining, no mold. Worth every dollar."
"Came back to fix one small thing at no charge, no questions asked. That's the kind of people you want in your house. 20 years of experience really shows."
"Our shower had been leaking behind the tile for who knows how long. Instead of just re-grouting it like the last guy, they found the actual problem and rebuilt it right. No more stains on the ceiling below."
"Got three quotes and theirs was the only one that itemized everything — demo, waterproofing, the membrane. No surprise charges at the end, and the finished bathroom matched the estimate exactly."
"Big large-format tile across the whole main floor and you can't feel a single edge with bare feet. They spent a full day just getting the floor flat before laying anything."
"Asked about heated floors almost as an afterthought and it's the best part of the whole reno. A warm floor in January is worth it alone — and they tested it three times so nothing could go wrong under the tile."
20 years. One trade.
Done right.
We've spent two decades doing one thing: installing tile and stone. Not selling cabinets. Not doing plumbing. Not subcontracting the hard parts. When you hire VitalTile & Stone, you get the same crew from the first swing of the hammer to the final wipe of epoxy grout.
We know what works in Calgary homes — which membranes handle frost heave, which grout survives dry winters, and why your basement slab needs an uncoupling system before any tile goes down.
We don't cut corners on materials and we don't rush through prep work. That's the only way tile lasts 20 years instead of 5.
