About
One trade, one bill, from the showroom floor to the last grout line.
President & Founder
Alan M. Lovera
Alan Lovera started installing tile in 2005. He founded SRQ Modern in 2017 with a straightforward idea: the people who sell you the material should be the same people who install it, and they should be accountable for how it looks when the job is finished.
- CTEF Certified Tile Installer
Most of the industry does not work that way. Retailers sell the box and hand you a list of crews. Installers show up with whatever was ordered. When something goes wrong, each side points at the other. We removed the gap by doing both — one trade, one bill, from the showroom floor to the last grout line.
That structure is also what lets us take on work other crews turn down. Large-format porcelain panels up to 126 inches need specialist handling, advanced leveling, and crews who have done it before. Coastal pool decks have to survive salt air and Florida sun. Getting those right depends on the material and the installation being decided together.
What we do, and what we don't
Almost everything we install, we also supplied. That is unusual in this trade, and it is the short answer to what separates us from the other tile companies in town.
Work we take
Work we refer out
- Full renovations. We will point you to someone who does them properly rather than take the job and subcontract it.
- Plumbing and electrical. Neither, on any job.
- Terrazzo. We pour Shellcrete only. Both are made in place, which is why they get confused — terrazzo can be cement or epoxy based and is a different process from start to finish.

Samples read differently under real light. The showroom is the fastest way to narrow things down.
