Built for the people who actually do the work
Most platforms profit off tradespeople without giving anything back. MaryTiles is different. $1/month, and the money goes where it matters.

For Homeowners
The badge means the person you're hiring is real. They own their business, do the work, and put their name on it. No franchises. No rotating crews.

Where the money goes
After we keep the lights on, everything else goes toward promoting the trades. Trade school resources. Apprenticeship guides. Career content. Getting the word out that the trades are a real path to a good life.
This isn't a lead gen platform. This isn't a marketing scheme. It's $1/month from people who work with their hands, pooled together to help more people do the same.
Hire smarter
Bad tile work can look fine for a week and fail for years. Know what to look for before you hire anyone.
Ask who does the work
Some companies sell the job, then send whoever is available. Ask who will be on-site and who is accountable for the install.
Ask about waterproofing
Showers fail from the system underneath, not the tile on top. A clean-looking finish means nothing if the prep is wrong.
Ask for real local projects
Not stock photos. Not generic galleries. Ask for work they actually completed in your area.
Learn the trade
Whether you're a homeowner or someone thinking about getting into the trades, these resources are here because the badge community funds them.
Getting started
Trade schools, apprenticeships, and what the path actually looks like when you're starting from zero.
Shower systems
Waterproofing, prep, slope, and why beautiful tile does not fix bad structure underneath.
Material choices
Ceramic vs porcelain vs stone. Where each one makes sense and what affects durability.
