Floors
Kitchen, bath, and living-area tile floors set on a flat, properly prepped substrate so they stay level and the grout lines stay crisp underfoot.
Tile installation for floors, baths & backsplashes
Good tile is all in the prep and the layout. We set floors, backsplashes, and shower surrounds to last: the kind of indoor project we tackle right through a Colorado winter.
Set to last
Tile that stays tight and even for years
A tile job that holds up isn't decided when the grout goes in. It's decided long before, in the substrate prep and the layout. Get those right and the finished surface stays flat, even, and crack-free.
We plan the field so the cuts land where they should, waterproof wherever tile meets water, and set each piece true. The result is a floor, backsplash, or surround that looks sharp on day one and still looks sharp years down the road. Tile is one of the interior jobs we're glad to take on while the weather keeps us indoors, right alongside our drywall work.

What we tile
From floors to shower walls
The same prep-first care goes into every surface, whether it's underfoot, behind the range, or in the wettest room in the house.
Backsplashes
Kitchen and bar backsplashes laid out clean and grouted for a crisp, finished line that ties the counters and cabinets together.
Tub & shower surrounds
Wet areas waterproofed behind the tile, then set and sealed so moisture stays out of the wall and the surround holds up for the long haul.
Entryways & mudrooms
Durable, easy-clean tile at the doors and mudrooms that take the most foot traffic, grit, and snowmelt through a Colorado winter.
How tile goes in
Prep, layout, set, grout, seal
A tile job that stays tight and even for years is decided before the first piece goes down. Here's the sequence we follow on every install.
Prep & waterproof
We check and prepare the substrate (flat, sound, and waterproofed in wet areas) because tile is only as good as what's under it.
Layout
The field is planned and dry-laid so lines stay straight, cuts fall in the right places, and awkward slivers are designed out.
Set
Each piece is set in the right mortar with consistent spacing, checked true as we go so the finished surface is flat and even.
Grout
Joints are packed and cleaned to a uniform line, so the grout reads as one continuous, tidy finish across the whole surface.
Seal
Where it matters, grout and stone are sealed to resist water and staining and keep the installation looking sharp for years.
Why winter is the right time
The season to refresh the inside
Tile is indoor work, start to finish. While exterior painting and deck restoration wait on warm, dry weather, a tired backsplash, a dated bathroom floor, or a shower that needs rebuilding can be tackled in the dead of a Colorado winter.
The cold months are the natural time to make the house feel new before spring, and tile pairs neatly with the other interior work we do, so a winter project can roll fresh tile and finished, painted walls into one coordinated visit.
- All indoor workWarm, controlled rooms mean tile installs run smoothly no matter what the weather is doing outside.
- Pairs with interior workTile fits right alongside drywall and interior painting, so a room can finish as one job.
- Fresh by springKnock out the kitchen or bath over winter so the warm season is free for the outdoor projects.

Good questions
Tile installation FAQs
What tile areas do you install?
We set tile for floors, kitchen and bar backsplashes, tub and shower surrounds, and entryways and mudrooms. Every job gets proper substrate prep, a planned layout so the cuts land right, careful setting, and clean grouting and sealing. Wet areas like showers get extra attention to waterproofing so the installation lasts.
How do you keep a shower or tub surround from leaking?
It comes down to what goes on behind the tile. Before a single piece is set in a wet area, we make sure the substrate is sound and waterproofed so moisture can't get behind the tile and into the wall. Then the tile is set, and the joints and corners are grouted and sealed. Getting the waterproofing right is what separates a shower that lasts from one that fails in a few years.
Do you handle the substrate prep, or just set the tile?
We handle the prep, because that's where a tile job is won or lost. Tile is only as good as what's under it, so we check that the substrate is flat, sound, and (in wet areas) waterproofed before we lay out the field. Setting tile over a surface that wasn't prepared right is how you end up with cracked grout and loose pieces, so we don't skip it.
Can you tile over an existing floor or backsplash?
Sometimes, and sometimes it's better to take the old surface out first. It depends on the condition of what's there, how sound it is, and the height it would add. We take a look, tell you honestly whether tiling over it will hold up, and recommend the approach that gives you a flat, lasting result rather than a shortcut that shows through later.
