Overview
Where a good install is invisible and a bad one is a flood
Bathroom tile is the highest-stakes tile in the house. Everything you see — the pattern, the niche, the crisp grout lines — sits on top of waterproofing you’ll never see, and that hidden layer is the entire difference between a shower that lasts twenty years and one that rots the wall behind it.
We build showers and tub surrounds on a properly detailed waterproof assembly: sloped, membraned, and pressure-checked before a single tile goes up. Then the visible craft — full tiles at the focal points, a level niche, tight miters — goes on a foundation that will actually hold.
Kitchen backsplashes are quicker but no less precise: clean cuts around outlets, a crisp termination at the cabinets, and grout that reads as one continuous surface.

Questions
Good to know
Why can I book this online but not, say, hardwood?
These are well-defined projects with predictable starting scopes, so we can take a deposit and lock your spot on the schedule online. Per-square-foot floor jobs vary too much to price without measuring — those start with a free quote instead.
What does the starting price include?
A standard-scope project with proper waterproofing and setting. Your specific size, tile selection, and add-ons (a niche, a bench, full-height work) adjust the total — which we confirm in writing after the measure before anything is captured.
How does the deposit and payment plan work?
You reserve the project with a deposit at checkout — for example $800 on a walk-in shower — and can split the balance over 2–5 weekly card payments, or pay in full. Your card is authorized at booking and the balance schedule is set up securely.
Is the waterproofing guaranteed?
Our waterproof assemblies are built and tested to industry standard before tile goes on. The specifics of workmanship coverage are in our Terms of Service.
