See Your Tile in Your Bathroom — Before We Install It

Short answer: pick a material below (or paste a link to one you found), upload a photo of your bathroom or kitchen in the estimate form, and we send your free estimate with an approximate preview of that material in your space — so you decide with your eyes, not with a 4-inch sample board.

Walk-in shower in large-format gray porcelain — the kind of finished look a preview helps you picture in your own bathroom

How it works

  1. Pick a material. Browse the starter gallery below and tap “Preview this in my space” — or skip the gallery and paste a link to any tile you found at Home Depot, Lowe's, MSI or anywhere else.
  2. Upload a photo of your space. The free estimate form now takes a photo of your bathroom or kitchen. One clear, straight-on shot of the shower, tub wall, backsplash or floor is perfect.
  3. Get your estimate with a preview. We prepare an approximate preview of that material in your room and send it back with your written estimate — usually within one business day. Like the look? We confirm everything in person before any tile is ordered.

None of these your tile? Choose “I have a link” in the estimate form and paste any product link — if we can see it clearly, we will build your preview from it.

One honest note about previews

Previews are approximate visualizations to help you decide — not photographs of finished work and not a promise of the exact result. Final appearance depends on your room's lighting, the grout color and joint width, the layout pattern, and the actual tile lot. Before installation, we confirm the material, layout and grout with you in person, in your space. That is how a preview stays a decision tool instead of a surprise.

Common questions

How does the tile preview work?

Pick a material from the gallery — or paste a link to a tile you found anywhere — then send the free estimate form with a photo of your bathroom or kitchen attached. We prepare an approximate preview of that material in your space and send it back with your written estimate, usually within one business day.

Is the preview exactly how my bathroom will look?

No — and we will not pretend otherwise. A preview is an approximate visualization to help you compare materials and decide. Final appearance depends on your lighting, the grout color and joint width, the layout pattern, and the actual tile lot, all of which we confirm in person before installation.

What photo should I upload?

One clear photo of the room, taken in daylight if you can, showing the walls or floor where the tile will go. A straight-on shot of the shower, tub wall, backsplash or floor works best. Your photo is used only to prepare your preview and estimate.

Can I preview a tile that is not in the gallery?

Yes. In the estimate form, choose “I have a link” and paste the product link — Home Depot, Lowe's, MSI, Floor & Decor, wherever you found it. If we can see the product clearly, we will build your preview from it.
