We Treat Every Project Like It’s Our Own Home
Ievgen Gorbaiuk, CEO Tile By GTI
I started Tile By GTI here, in Mississauga, 15 years ago. As a father of two young kids, I knew exactly what it felt like to have contractors track mud through his house, miss deadlines, and leave half-finished work behind. So when I started taking on tile jobs, I made different choices. Cover the floors before bringing tools inside. Show up when promised. Clean up before leaving each day. Use materials that wouldn’t need replacing in many years.
Those choices built a reputation. Word spread through neighborhoods. One craftsman became a team of five specialists. But the approach stayed the same: handle someone else’s space the way you’d handle your own.
Why We Do This Work
Renovations break down in predictable ways. Contractors disappear for days without explanation. Materials show up wrong or late. Simple bathroom updates stretch into three-month ordeals.
We’ve watched homeowners sleep in hotels because their kitchen demolition "took longer than expected." We’ve seen landlords lose $ 3,000 in rent because tile work that should take a week somehow took six. We’ve helped business owners whose grand opening got pushed back twice because their floors weren’t finished.
These aren’t renovation nightmares — they’re Tuesday in the contracting world. These problems happen on 70% of renovation projects in Toronto.
We exist to prove it doesn’t work this way. Your kitchen renovation can finish on schedule. Your rental can be ready when your tenant moves in. Your restaurant can open when you planned.
Not because we’re miracle workers. Because we do the boring stuff that prevents problems: order materials two weeks early, coordinate with other trades, protect everything that shouldn’t get dusty, and show up every day until it’s done.

5 tile installers. No subcontractors. No surprises about who’s working in your space.
Each installer has been with us for over two years. They know our material suppliers, understand our cleanup standards, and can answer questions about your project without calling someone else.
When we estimate a job at three days, we’re not guessing. We’re calculating based on who’s actually doing the work.

How We Work Differently
We order everything before starting and have backup suppliers for common items.
Material coordination
Fixed pricing, no surprises
Your quote includes materials, labor, and cleanup. The final bill matches what we promised.
Manufacturer partnerships
Direct relationships with Schluter, Mapei, and other suppliers mean consistent quality and faster problem-solving when issues arise.
Evening and weekend availability
Restaurants can’t close for a week. Some homeowners prefer weekend work. We adjust.
We build realistic timelines and stick to them. Your kitchen contractor knows when we’ll be done.
Daily cleanup
Start and finish dates you can rely on
Tools put away, surfaces wiped down, floors swept before we leave each day.
