Where We Install Tile

Tile installation can be part of a larger remodeling project or a smaller standalone update. We install tile in bathrooms, showers, backsplashes, and other areas throughout the home.
  • Bathroom floor tile installation

    Bathroom Floors

    Replace an older floor with tile selected for your bathroom’s size, daily use, and preferred look. A floor-only project doesn’t require a full bathroom remodel.

  • Tile shower and tub surround installation

    Showers and Tub Surrounds

    Update shower walls, floors, niches, and tub surrounds with tile suited to the space. If you’re replacing the tub itself, see tub and tub surround replacement.

  • Kitchen Backsplashes

    Kitchen Backsplashes

    Add or replace backsplash tile around your countertops and cabinets. We can discuss the tile pattern, edges, outlets, and where the backsplash should end.

  • Tile installation in another room of the home

    Other Floors and Walls

    Ask us about tile for an entryway, laundry room, kitchen floor, or other area in your home. Tell us the room and existing surface so we can review the project.

MATERIALS AND LAYOUTS

Choose Tile That Fits the Space

Porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, and different tile sizes each create a different look and have different installation and maintenance considerations. We’ll discuss the surface, the size of the area, the layout you prefer, and what matters most in daily use.

If you’ve already chosen your tile, include the product details in your inquiry. If you’re still deciding, photos of styles you like can help start the conversation.

Herringbone

Adds movement to floors and shower walls. Works with rectangular tile in most sizes.

Chevron

Sharper than herringbone, with tile cut to meet at a point. Suits feature walls and entryways.

Subway

Offset rows, the familiar backsplash and shower layout. Easy to live with in any style of home.

Stacked

Straight rows and columns for a calm, modern look. Depends on precise alignment.

Basketweave

Alternating pairs that read as woven. A traditional choice for bathroom floors and mudrooms.

Hexagon

Six-sided tile in a honeycomb. Small hex for floors and shower pans, large hex for a bolder wall.

Preparation Matters

How the Work is Done

Before new tile goes down, the condition of the existing floor or wall needs to be considered. The work may involve removing old material, preparing the surface, planning the layout, and installing the tile and finishing pieces. Wet areas call for additional attention to water management and compatible materials.

We'll discuss the preparation needed for your project rather than assuming every room needs the same approach.

How a Tile Installation Works

A Clear Remodeling Process

Every tile job follows its own scope, but the order of the work stays the same.

Final walkthrough

We go over the finished tile with you, including grout lines, cuts and sealing.

  • Experience with different tile projects

    From bathroom floors and showers to kitchen backsplashes and tub surrounds, we work with different layouts, materials, and installation requirements.

  • Preparation before installation

    The existing surface matters. We look at the substrate, flatness, and preparation needed for the tile and location before installation begins.

  • Attention to wet-area details

    Shower floors, walls, niches, and tub surrounds need more than an attractive tile pattern. We consider drainage, waterproofing, and the materials appropriate for the installation.

  • Smaller tile projects are welcome

    You don’t need a complete remodel to call us. A single backsplash, bathroom floor, or tub surround can be its own project.

Tile Installation FAQs

Common Questions

How much does tile installation cost per square foot in Atlanta?

It depends on the size of the area, the tile and pattern, and how much preparation the surface needs. A backsplash and a shower are different jobs even with the same tile. We measure and give you a written price.

Can you tile over existing tile?

Sometimes. On a floor, new tile can go over old tile that is flat and firmly bonded, if the extra height works at doors and transitions. In a shower, the old tile comes out so we can check and rebuild the waterproofing behind it. We tell you which applies at the walkthrough.

What is the difference between cement board and waterproofing?

Cement board is a backer. It does not stop water. A shower needs a continuous waterproof membrane over the backer, carried up the walls, into the corners, around the niche and over the curb.

Do you offer financing for larger tile projects?
Yes, through HFS Financial, which connects homeowners with lenders. See financing
