Northport is a harbor village with a walkable Main Street and a housing stock to match — 19th-century Victorians, waterfront homes, and older colonials that have stood near Long Island Sound for well over a century. Tiling in a home like this is a different craft than tiling new construction. The floors are rarely flat, the framing is original, and the finished work has to sit right against period doorways and trim. Just Enterprise One Corp. has been setting ceramic, porcelain, stone and mosaic tile in Northport and across Long Island since 1989, and we approach an older village home with the patience it asks for.
The first job is understanding the floor you already have. In a home built in the 1800s, a level floor is the exception, so we measure the slope, check the old joists for deflection, and decide how to bring the surface into plane — self-leveling underlayment or a mortar bed, reinforcement where the framing flexes, and an uncoupling membrane so a new rigid tile floor is not fighting the seasonal movement of an old house. Salt air off the Sound is a factor too, so we favor porcelain and well-sealed grout in the rooms that take the most moisture. When work reaches into structure we bring in a licensed engineer, and because Northport is an incorporated village inside the Town of Huntington, permitting may run through the Village of Northport, the Town of Huntington, or both — we sort out which approvals apply before we begin.
We match the tile to the home, whether that means classic marble and hex mosaic in keeping with a Victorian bath, subway tile and encaustic-look porcelain, or large-format tile in a renovated space. We handle bathroom floors and shower surrounds, kitchens, entries, fireplace surrounds and backsplashes, using our own crews and sealing every grout joint on completion. Every project starts with a free written quote, delivered within 1–2 business days.
