From classic New England slate-look planks to bold encaustic patterns in West End condos, tile offers limitless aesthetics. CountBricks’ digital design studio lets you swap colors, grout widths, and laying patterns before a single box is purchased.
Portlanders juggle outdoor recreation, pets, and busy families. Tile sweeps and mops clean without the refinishing cycles hardwood demands, freeing up weekends for the Old Port instead of house chores.

• Porcelain’s low water absorption (below 0.5 %) makes it ideal for entryways where melting snow pools.
• Ceramic costs less and works well on interior walls or lightly used floors like guest baths.
• Look for a Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) ≥ 0.42 for wet areas to keep winter boot traffic safe.
• Opt for rectified tile to allow tighter joints and a sleeker contemporary look popular in Munjoy Hill remodels.
• Portland winters are chilly. CountBricks easily integrates low-profile radiant mats beneath tile, with thermostat programming handled during installation.
Tile Price per Square Foot – Local porcelain ranges from $3 basic white to $15 artisan patterns.
Subfloor Preparation – Leveling compound or new cement board adds $1-$3 per square foot in older Cape homes.
Layout Complexity – Diagonal herringbone or mixed-size mosaics increase labor hours by 15-30 %.
Room Obstacles – Built-ins, curved walls, and radiant registers require intricate cuts.
Waste Factor – CountBricks’ AI calculates waste to within 2 %, preventing surprise overages.
• Order 10 % extra tile for pattern matching in large formats.
• Stagger grout color and tile color for depth; light tile with mid-gray grout hides Maine’s sandy grit.
• Schedule delivery two days early so material acclimates to interior temps.
• Use premium modified thin-set rated for sub-40 °F curing if installing during shoulder seasons.
• Seal grout 72 hours after install to lock out salt and slush.
