Custom Tile Work & Installation
Licensed & Insured Permits Included Free On-Site Estimate One Contractor 5.0 Stars · 272+ Reviews

Custom tile work transforms bathrooms, kitchens, and living spaces. We install ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and glass tile on floors, walls, showers, backsplashes, and feature walls. Our in-house tile crew handles layout, waterproofing, and grouting for lasting, beautiful results. Free estimate and upfront pricing.

Tile installation requires precision and experience. We ensure proper waterproofing, substrate prep, and grout sealing. Bathroom tile work includes shower surrounds and tub tile; kitchen projects feature backsplashes and accent walls. We work with your design choices or offer our own layout and material recommendations for maximum impact.

As your general contractor, tile work integrates into full bathroom and kitchen remodels. Need to clear the space first? We handle demolition and haul-away, then install your new tile as part of the complete project. One contractor manages the entire sequence from demo through finishing. The original tile in many Hartford County bathrooms dates to the 1960s and 70s, often set directly over a subfloor that's shifted since, so we check that substrate before we ever set a new piece of tile.

Every TJ's tile project is quoted on-site with upfront pricing, and you approve the price before we start. Free estimate with no obligation. Tile costs vary by material choice, square footage, and layout complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of tile do you install?

We install ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and glass tile. Porcelain is durable for floors and wet areas; ceramic works well for walls and backsplashes; natural stone offers unique aesthetics but requires sealing. We advise on the best material for your space and budget.

How much does custom tile work cost?

Tile cost depends on material choice, square footage, and layout complexity. Ceramic and porcelain are typically more affordable; natural stone and glass are premium options. We quote on-site with upfront pricing, and you approve the price before we start.

Do you handle waterproofing for shower tile?

Yes. Shower waterproofing is critical. We install backer board and waterproof membranes in showers and wet areas to prevent water damage and mold. Proper waterproofing ensures tile lasts decades without failure.

Can you create custom tile patterns and layouts?

Yes. We design custom layouts for your space. Whether you want a simple grid, herringbone pattern, or complex custom design, we have the expertise to execute it cleanly. We show you layout options during the estimate.

Do you install backsplash tile in kitchens?

Yes. Kitchen backsplash tile is one of our specialties. We design and install custom backsplash patterns. This is often part of a full kitchen remodel including countertops, cabinets, and other finishes.

What's the timeline for tile installation?

Timeline varies by scope. A bathroom shower might take 3-5 days; a large kitchen backsplash or floor project takes 1-2 weeks. We provide timeline estimates during your free consultation.
