For production builders
Tile for new home developments, priced by the square foot or by the plan.
New home developments across Long Island. Square foot or per-plan pricing, one spec in every house, Schluter certified and fully insured.
If you're putting up 30 to 40 houses a year, tile either runs on schedule or it holds up your closings. New construction gets priced differently than a one-off bathroom. Tell us how your office wants it, by the square foot or per plan, and you'll get labor pricing built for a builder's budget, the same spec in every house, and a schedule you can plan a community around.
We've been setting tile on Long Island for 30+ years with our own crew, and that same crew works every house in your community. We don’t rotate subs in, we don’t re-bid lots to whoever is cheapest that month, and the price we give you at the start is the price through the last house.
What you get
What builders get
Labor priced for a development budget, the same crew and spec in every house, and the paperwork your office needs before the first start.
- 01
Labor priced for a builder's budget
Competitive labor rates on volume, set for the whole community instead of quoted job by job. You know the tile number before you break ground on lot one.
- 02
Square foot or per plan
However your estimator works. We'll break it out by the square foot, or price each plan type as a unit and multiply it across the community.
- 03
The same spec in every house
One spec sheet per plan, run the same way in every unit. Buyers touring a model see what they're getting, and your punch list stays short.
- 04
Predictable scheduling
We sequence around your supers, not the other way around. Crews sized to your release schedule so tile never becomes the trade that holds up a closing.
- 05
Owner-led Schluter installation
Louis Chirco holds the Schluter certification and works on site with his own crew. Bonded waterproofing is installed to the system specifications and flood tested before tile.
- 06
Fully insured, certificates before we start
Commercial auto on every truck and general liability with an umbrella policy over it. We send certificates naming you as additional insured before the first house.
How it runs
Plans, model, then the whole community
- 01
Walk the plans
Send the plans and the tile allowances. We take off every wet area by plan type, flag anything that will cause callbacks later, and give you a per-home number.
- 02
Build the model
The first house sets the spec: layout, waterproofing detail, trim, grout. Once you sign off on the model, every house after it gets built the same way.
- 03
Run the community
We staff to your release schedule and work off your super's calendar, so tile lands in its window, lot after lot.
Credentials
Schluter certified
Island Tile Craft is Schluter certified. Louis Chirco completed the full training and is on the job doing the work, so the membrane, the drain and the waterproofing go in the way they're supposed to.
Pricing a community?
Call or text with the number of homes, the plans and your timeline, and we'll put builder pricing together. Texting is usually fastest: it comes through labelled as a builder request, so it doesn’t sit in the same pile as homeowner calls.
