At Legacy Interior Services, we emphasize the critical role of proper underlayment and leveling in every tile installation project. Underlayment acts as a protective barrier, creating a smooth and stable base that absorbs minor subfloor imperfections and prevents cracks from forming in your tiles over time. Without it, moisture and movement can lead to premature failure, costly repairs, and an uneven surface. Similarly, precise leveling ensures tiles sit flush without lippage or wobbling, promoting even grout lines and a professional finish that stands up to daily foot traffic. Investing in these foundational steps guarantees durability, safety, and the timeless beauty your home deserves.
