What we install
Seven kinds of work, all of it tile and natural stone. If what you have in mind is not on this list, call and ask — the answer is usually yes, and when it isn't we will tell you who to call instead.
Floor tile
Porcelain, ceramic and natural stone across whole floors — kitchens, bathrooms, entries, living space.
Layout is set out from the room rather than the nearest wall, so the pattern lands where you see it and the cuts fall where you don't. The substrate is leveled and prepared first; tile bonded over a floor that moves will telegraph every joint within a season.
- Large-format, herringbone, diagonal and running-bond layouts
- Natural stone — marble, travertine, slate
- Substrate leveled and prepared before any tile is bonded
- Transitions and thresholds cut to meet adjoining floors
Bathroom tile
Floors, walls and wet areas, from a powder room to a full primary bath.
The waterproofing goes in first and the floor is pitched to the drain before a single tile is set. It is the part of a bathroom nobody sees and the only part that can cost you a ceiling.
- Waterproofing and membrane systems throughout the wet area
- Floors pitched correctly to the drain
- Wall tile run full height where the room calls for it
- Niches and benches built into the framing
Shower & tub
Walk-in showers, tub surrounds and steam enclosures.
Niches and benches are cut from the same slab as the walls where possible, so the veining carries through instead of stopping at the opening. Pans are pitched, waterproofed and flood-tested before tile.
- Walk-in showers, curbless entries and tub surrounds
- Recessed niches and folded corner benches
- Pebble, penny-round and mosaic pans
- Linear and center drains
Kitchen & backsplash
Backsplashes, kitchen floors and tiled counters.
A backsplash is the one tiled surface people stand a foot away from, so the cuts around outlets, switches and the range hood are the whole job. Heat-tolerant tile goes in behind a range.
- Backsplashes in tile, stone and mosaic
- Cuts fitted around outlets, switches and hoods
- Heat-tolerant tile behind a range
- Kitchen floors and tiled counter surfaces
Commercial floor tile
Offices, retail, restaurants and public spaces.
Commercial floors are specified rather than chosen — slip resistance rated for the setting, transitions that meet accessibility requirements, and a porcelain that will take the traffic the room actually gets.
- High-traffic porcelain
- Slip-resistance rated for the setting
- ADA-compliant transitions
- Scheduling worked around opening hours
Outdoor & patio
Patios, pool surrounds, walkways and outdoor kitchens.
Southern Utah swings hard between summer heat and winter freeze, and tile that is fine indoors will spall outdoors. Outdoor work uses freeze-thaw rated tile and a non-slip surface, particularly around water.
- Freeze-thaw rated tile throughout
- Non-slip surfaces around pools and wet areas
- Pool surrounds and coping
- Outdoor kitchens and walkways
Tile repair
Cracked and loose tile, failed grout, and replacement into an existing field.
Matching into an existing floor is its own skill — the replacement has to sit at the same height, in the same plane, with grout that matches a joint that has had years to change color. Sometimes the honest answer is that a repair will always show, and we will say so.
- Cracked, loose and hollow-sounding tile
- Regrouting, resealing and color matching
- Replacement matched into an existing field
- An honest assessment when a repair will show
Not sure which one you need?
Describe the room and we will tell you. There is no charge for the conversation, and we would rather scope it properly than guess at it over a text message.
