Precision Layouts, Flawless Grout Lines, and Premium Waterproofing for Kitchens & Baths.
Custom Tile Design & Professional Installation
Tile is the ultimate marriage of artistic design and structural function. Whether it’s an intricate mosaic backsplash that pulls a luxury kitchen together or a custom walk-in shower tile layout, it is the first thing people notice when they walk into a room.
Our Tile Specializations
Custom Showers & Bathrooms
Turn your bathroom into a private oasis. We specialize in complete custom shower tile builds, including linear drains, recessed product niches, built-in benches, and large-format porcelain or natural stone. Every cut is planned to maximize symmetry and eliminate awkward sliver-cuts at the corners.
Kitchen Backsplashes
Protect your walls while making a massive design statement. From classic subway tile and trendy herringbone patterns to complex geometric mosaics, we install kitchen backsplashes with perfect spacing, crisp transitions around outlets, and elegant Schluter-trim edging for a clean, modern border.
Durable Tile Flooring
Get the timeless look of natural stone or wood-look tile with the indestructible durability of fired ceramic or porcelain. Perfect for high-traffic mudrooms, entryways, and laundry rooms, our floor installations are perfectly leveled to completely eliminate lip-page (uneven tile edges).
Ready to Elevate Your Home With Custom Tile?
The absolute biggest mistake a cheap tile contractor can make is tiling directly over standard drywall or greenboard in a wet environment. Moisture eventually bypasses the grout, rots the framing, and creates a hidden mold disaster. We refuse to take shortcuts.
Our Uncompromising Wet-Area Standards Include:
-
Advanced Membrane Waterproofing: We construct wet areas utilizing premium, uncoupling waterproofing membranes and solid cement backer boards. This creates a completely sealed, impervious barrier that guarantees water stays in the drain—not in your walls.
-
Perfect Layout Mapping: Before mixing a single batch of mortar, we dry-lay and map our tile grids mathematically based on the center point of the room or wall. This ensures completely balanced cuts on both sides of the installation.
-
Premium Grout & Sealants: We utilize high-performance, stain-resistant grouts that don't crack, shrink, or require annual resealing, keeping your lines bright and clean with minimal scrubbing.
