Max Zuilen-Hampe

Maximum Tiling was built on a straightforward principle: find the right solution for every customer, no matter how complex the project. From consultation through to the final grout line, Max is personally invested in delivering results that last.

"We're dedicated to finding effective solutions for our customers and bringing even the most ambitious visions to life."

The Story Behind Maximum Tiling

Max's journey with tiling began in Germany, where he developed a precise, craft-first approach to working with tile and stone. The European market demands accuracy — tight tolerances, complex patterns, exacting finishes — and that foundation shaped everything Maximum Tiling would become.

Returning to New Zealand, Max saw a gap in the market. Most tiling contractors focused on volume. Max wanted to build something different: a company where quality was non-negotiable, communication was clear, and clients always felt in capable hands.

Maximum Tiling was founded in 2021 with those values at its core. In the years since, the business has grown through referrals and repeat clients — the clearest sign that the work speaks for itself. Bathrooms, wet areas, floors, feature walls — every project receives the same level of care regardless of scale.

The Maximum Tiling approach is built on collaboration and authenticity. Clients are guided through material selection, layout planning, and installation — with honest advice at every step and exceptional outcomes as the standard.

Today, Maximum Tiling serves homeowners and builders across Greater Auckland. The team brings the same commitment to precision and finish quality that Max brought back from Germany — combined with a genuine understanding of what New Zealand homeowners and builders need from their tiling specialist.

What Drives Our Work

The principles behind every Maximum Tiling project

Collaboration First

Clients work directly with Max from start to finish. No account managers or middlemen — clear communication and personal accountability throughout every project.

Precision Installation

Tight layouts, level floors, waterproofed wet areas, and grout lines that hold. Every installation is executed with the technical discipline the work demands.

Material Knowledge

Deep understanding of tile, stone, and setting materials means the right product is selected for each application — not just aesthetically, but for long-term performance.

Solutions, Not Excuses

Complex substrates, awkward layouts, challenging wet areas — the Maximum Tiling team finds workable solutions where other contractors step back.

How We Work

Maximum Tiling doesn't run jobs like a production line. Every project is planned properly — substrate assessed, waterproofing specified, layout mapped before the first tile goes down. That preparation is what separates a tidy finish from one that lasts.

Whether it's a bathroom renovation in Remuera or a commercial wet area in the CBD, the approach is the same: the right materials, installed correctly, with a clean handover and honest communication throughout.

  • Full wet area waterproofing and tanking
  • Substrate preparation and levelling
  • Layout planning and pattern mapping
  • Precision tile cutting and setting
  • Grouting, sealing, and tidy site handover
