Tile installation we handle

We install tile for the projects Portland-area homeowners ask for most:

• Floor tile — kitchens, entryways, laundry and mudrooms, and whole-floor tile in porcelain or ceramic.
• Bathroom & shower tile — floors, tub surrounds, and full custom shower walls and pans, built with proper waterproofing.
• Kitchen backsplashes — subway, mosaic, and accent tile that ties the kitchen together.
• Natural stone & specialty — porcelain that looks like wood or marble, natural stone, mosaic, and large-format tile.

Every job includes the parts most people don’t see but that decide whether tile lasts: checking the subfloor is flat and sound, the right underlayment or backer board, proper waterproofing in wet areas, and clean, consistent grout lines.

What tile installation costs in the Portland metro

The honest answer is that it depends on the space — so we give you a firm number after a free walkthrough rather than a vague figure online. The things that move the price most:

• Tile itself — natural stone and large-format tile cost more to buy and take longer to set than standard ceramic.
• Layout complexity — diagonal, herringbone, and intricate patterns take more labor than a straight grid.
• Prep and demo — removing old flooring, leveling an uneven subfloor, or adding backer board adds time.
• Waterproofing — showers and wet areas need proper membranes done right, which is not the place to cut corners.
• Square footage — larger areas spread the fixed setup cost and often lower the per-foot rate.

We walk you through the trade-offs so you can match the tile and scope to your budget before anything is ordered.

Frequently asked questions

How much does tile installation cost? It depends on the tile, the size and condition of the space, the pattern, and whether old flooring has to come out first. Rather than quote a number that may be wrong for your home, we give you a free, firm estimate after seeing the space.

How long does a tile floor take to install? Most residential floors take a few days — one to prep and set the tile, then time for the mortar to cure before grouting and sealing. Showers and intricate patterns take longer. We give you a realistic timeline with your estimate.

Do you install bathroom and shower tile? Yes — bathroom floors, tub surrounds, and full custom showers, including the waterproofing that keeps a shower sound for the long run.

Porcelain or ceramic — which should I choose? Porcelain is denser and more water- and wear-resistant, which makes it a strong choice for floors and wet areas; ceramic is often more budget-friendly for walls and lower-traffic spaces. We’ll help you pick based on where the tile is going and your budget.

Do you remove the old flooring? Yes. Demo and haul-away of existing flooring, plus any subfloor prep or leveling, can be part of the scope — we’ll spell it out in the estimate.
