Built right the first time. Verified before we leave.
Custom tile, luxury bathrooms, and documented waterproofing for Central Florida custom home builders — installed with manufacturing-grade quality control. For builders, that means fewer callbacks, better finishes, and a reputation worth protecting.
A manufacturing background means every install runs on a defined process — not improvisation. Layout planned, surfaces evaluated, tolerances held.
02 / Documented
Documented
We photograph and verify the work you can't see, especially waterproofing, and hand you the records. Proof, not promises.
03 / Preventive
Warranty-minded
Every decision is made to prevent the callback before it happens. We build it right the first time, so the problem never reaches your warranty department.
About GBS
A different kind of finish partner.
GBS Flooring & Bath was founded by Gabriel Cabral, who spent more than ten years in quality, process improvement, and manufacturing execution at Robert Bosch before bringing that discipline to luxury residential construction.
That background changes how the work gets done. Where most installations rely on experience alone, ours run on a process: surfaces evaluated, preparation verified, waterproofing tested, and finishes inspected against a standard, and documented along the way.
Our work spans the full range of tile — large-format porcelain, natural stone, mosaic, and decorative detail — along with luxury bathrooms, waterproofing, and finish-quality execution for high-end custom homes, including work in communities such as Bella Collina. We are not a general flooring contractor. We are a finish-quality specialist for builders who cannot afford a callback.
GBS is fully insured and certified, and every installation follows TCNA and ANSI standards — the industry benchmarks for tile built to last.
We keep our focus on tile, bath, waterproofing, and finish quality — the work where a small defect becomes an expensive callback.

Selected work
Work built to a standard.
A selection of recent tile, bath, and finish work across Central Florida custom homes — from showers and feature walls to curbless wet rooms, finished to a standard that holds up to close inspection.
Curbless design required precise slope and a continuous waterproof membrane with zero tolerance for error.
Solution
Engineered slope verified before tile, full membrane installed and flood-tested, layout dry-laid to center the pattern on the feature wall.
Result
Passed builder walkthrough on first review; waterproofing documentation provided for the warranty file.
Builder benefit
Zero punch items on the shower — nothing to revisit.
Homeowner benefit
A seamless, gallery-grade shower with verified long-term protection.

Execution in progress
What the homeowner never sees.
Recessed niches set plumb and aligned, valve rough-ins squared, and tile layout planned before a single piece is fixed. The parts of the job that disappear behind glass and grout are exactly where quality is won or lost.
We control and document this stage — so the finish you approve is backed by the work underneath it.
The GBS quality process
Ten steps. Every project. No exceptions.
01
Project review
We understand the design intent, your standards, and the schedule before we touch the space. Prevents surprises and rework.
02
Layout planning
Tile is dry-laid and planned so patterns center correctly and cuts land where they should. Prevents awkward "why is it off-center" callbacks.
03
Substrate evaluation
We assess flatness, moisture, and substrate condition. A bad substrate guarantees a failed finish — we catch it first.
04
Surface preparation
Substrate is corrected and confirmed ready before anything is set. Most tile failures start under the tile, before installation.
05
Waterproofing verification
Membranes are installed, tested, and documented. This is the step that protects you from the most expensive callback there is.
06
Precision installation
Tile is set to standard, with coverage, alignment, and lippage controlled. Precision here is what separates luxury from ordinary.
07
Quality inspection
Work is inspected against a defined standard, not a feeling. Defects are found by us, on our time.
08
Finish detailing
Grout, transitions, edges, and consistency are checked line by line. The details are what the homeowner notices.
09
Builder walkthrough
We walk the work with your team and confirm it meets your standard. You see it's right before the homeowner ever does.
10
Client acceptance
The space is confirmed homeowner-ready and documentation is handed off. You deliver with confidence and a paper trail.
Warranty prevention
The best callback is the one that never happens.
A callback isn't a service request. It's unpaid labor, an unhappy homeowner, and a quiet hit to your reputation. The most expensive of all is water intrusion — and behind tile, it's invisible until it's a disaster. GBS is built to prevent the claim before it exists.
+Proper preparation, so the finish has a sound foundation.
+Verified waterproofing — installed, tested, and documented on every wet area.
+Installations to TCNA and ANSI standards, applied consistently — not occasionally.
+Finish-quality inspections that catch defects before the homeowner can.
+Attention to detail as a process, not a personality trait.
