After plumbers replaced a pipe and left a huge hole in our drywall, the Tools & Hands team repaired it flawlessly and neatly repainted so you’d never know there had been damage.

Our kitchen faucet was leaking nonstop. Tools & Hands replaced it with a modern stainless one, cleaned up, and even checked the shut-off valves — all done in one visit.

Pricing depends on project complexity and tile type.
On average, tile installation ranges from $15 to $25 per square foot. We offer free on-site estimates to give you an accurate final cost, with clear pricing and no hidden fees.
Typically, tile needs 24–48 hours to dry. We advise avoiding heavy traffic during this time and holding off on using the area until the grout has fully cured, which can take up to 72 hours. After that, your tile will be ready for normal use.
We start with a thorough assessment of the surface condition before beginning any work. If we come across unforeseen problems, such as hidden damage or structural defects, we discuss solutions with you right away and get your approval for any additional work needed. Our expertise allows us to handle these challenges efficiently and maintain a high standard of quality.
