Tile is where a bathroom remodel is made or broken. Good tile work disappears into the design — bad tile work yells at you every morning. After enough years on the trowel, every install reads at a glance: lippage, grout color, layout decisions, where the cuts land. We sweat that detail because it’s where craftsmanship actually shows.
What we tile
- Shower walls. Subway, large-format porcelain, slabs, natural stone, mosaic accent.
- Shower floors. Penny-round, hex, mosaic for grip. Sloped pre-pan underneath.
- Bathroom floors. Large-format porcelain for a clean visual, mosaic for traction or in a small room, heated mat optional.
- Niches & benches. Recessed shampoo cubbies, accent backs, built-in seating. Waterproofed and sloped properly.
- Accent walls. A single feature wall — behind the vanity, behind a freestanding tub, full-height in a shower.
- Tub surrounds. Three-wall tile builds that don’t fail at the change-of-plane joint.
How we do it right
A good tile job is mostly invisible work:
- Substrate prep. Flat, plumb, square. We don’t set tile over framing waves.
- Cementboard or foam panel substrate instead of drywall in wet zones.
- Waterproofing membrane over the substrate, seams and corners taped, niches and benches fully wrapped.
- Sloped shower pan built right (1/4” per foot to the drain), pre-pan and final pan both sloped.
- Layout planning before the first tile goes up — where do the cut tiles land, where does the niche sit, how does the pattern hit a corner.
- Proper thinset, proper trowel size, large-format tiles back-buttered.
- Color-matched grout sealed where appropriate.
You won’t see most of that. You will see the result for the next twenty years.
