What We Do

Good tile looks simple: flat, straight, and even all the way to the edges. Getting it there takes a flat floor, a waterproof wall, and a layout planned before the first cut.

That's the part we're picky about. From a single backsplash to a full walk-in shower, we level and prep the surface, waterproof anything that gets wet, plan the layout so the cuts land where you won't notice them, and set it with our own crew. It's why Logan homeowners call us when they want tile that still looks right years from now.

Room By Room

Where we set tile in Logan homes

01  /  Showers

Tile showers and pans

Walk-in showers, niches, benches, pebble or tile pans, and even tiled ceilings. Every wet wall gets a bonded waterproof membrane, the pan is pitched to the drain, and niches are planned to land on a grout line. If the shower is part of a full bathroom remodel, the same crew handles the rest of the room.

What we watch for

Flat walls before tile, clean transitions at the curb and glass, and a pan that drains completely with no standing water.

02  /  Floors

Tile floors

Kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and halls in porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone, including large-format and plank tile. Long tiles show every high spot, so we level the floor first and use leveling clips to keep edges even. If tile isn't the right fit for a room, we also install LVP and other flooring.

What we watch for

A flat, stiff subfloor. A floor with bounce will crack grout and tile, so we check it and fix it before we set.

03  /  Backsplashes

Kitchen and bath backsplashes

Subway, stacked, stone-look, and mosaic backsplashes, on their own or as part of a kitchen remodel. We lay it out from the center of the range or sink so the pattern lands even at both ends, then seal and caulk where the tile meets the counter.

What we watch for

Clean cuts around outlets and windows, and outlet boxes brought out flush so covers sit tight against the tile.

04  /  Surrounds & Walls

Tub surrounds, accent walls, and fireplaces

Tile tub surrounds that replace a tired fiberglass insert, feature walls, and fireplace surrounds. Leveling clips hold each tile in plane while it sets, so you get flat walls with no lipped edges catching the light.

What we watch for

Waterproofing where the surround meets the tub, and a layout that ends on full or even tiles at the corners.

05  /  Entries

Entries, mudrooms, and transitions

Tile is the toughest floor for the spot where Cache Valley winters come through the door. We tile entries and mudrooms and finish every edge where tile meets wood, carpet, or LVP with a clean, flush transition.

What we watch for

Transition heights matched so nothing catches a toe, and grout chosen for a floor that sees snowmelt and grit.

Tile repair and regrouting

Cracked or loose tile, crumbling or stained grout, and showers that need regrouting or have started to leak. We replace damaged tiles, regrout and reseal showers, and track down where water is getting in. If it has already reached the wall, we cut out and replace the water-damaged drywall before the tile goes back.

Repair or rebuild?

If the tile is sound and the problem is grout or a few cracked pieces, a repair is usually enough. If tile sounds hollow, the grout keeps cracking, or water is getting behind the wall, the waterproofing has failed, and we'll tell you straight that the shower needs to be rebuilt.

The Numbers We Work To

Tile that lasts is measured

These are the industry standards that separate tile that holds up from tile that cracks, sounds hollow, or leaks. We work to them on every job.

95%

Mortar coverage

Thinset contact under tile in showers and wet areas, so there are no hollow pockets for water to sit in.

1/8in

Flatness over 10 feet

How flat the surface needs to be before large-format tile goes down. We level until it is.

Slope per foot

The pitch we build into a shower pan so every drop runs to the drain and nothing pools.

Tile In Cache Valley

What Logan homes ask of tile

01

Winter at the door

From November to March, snow, ice melt, and gravel come in on every pair of boots. Porcelain tile in an entry or mudroom shrugs that off in a way carpet and wood can't.

02

Older floors with bounce

Plenty of older Logan homes have floors that flex a little. Tile won't tolerate it, so we check the joists and subfloor and stiffen it or add an uncoupling membrane before we set anything.

03

Very hard water

Logan's city water tests very hard, and the minerals leave a film on grout and stone. We pick grout and sealers that wipe clean and grout colors that won't show it.

04

Basements on concrete

A lot of Logan tile goes down on basement slabs. We prep the concrete, deal with cracks so they don't telegraph through, and lay tile that handles a below-grade floor.

Good Questions

Tile installation questions, answered

How much does tile installation cost in Logan?
It depends on the square footage, the tile you pick, the pattern, and how much prep the surface needs. Large-format tile, intricate patterns, and showers that need full waterproofing take more labor than a simple floor. We look at the space and give you a clear, itemized estimate so you can see what's driving the number.
How long does a tile installation take?
Most tile projects take 2 to 5 days, depending on the square footage, the prep, and how complex the layout is. A tile shower takes longer because the waterproofing and mortar need time to cure before grout. We give you a realistic timeline with your estimate.
Do you install large-format and plank tile?
Yes. Large-format and long plank tile look great, but they show every high and low spot in a floor. We level the surface to the flatness large tile needs and use leveling clips while it sets, so the edges stay even.
Can you tile over my existing floor or tile?
Sometimes, but usually we don't recommend it. Old tile or vinyl can hide damage, add height that throws off doors and transitions, and give the new tile a weak base. We'll look at what's there and tell you straight whether it's sound enough or should come up.
Do you waterproof tile showers?
Always. Every shower and wet wall gets a bonded waterproof membrane, sealed at the seams and corners, before any tile goes up, and the pan is pitched to the drain. That's what keeps water out of your walls and floor for the long haul.
What grout works best with Logan's hard water?
Logan's water is very hard, so mineral film on grout is a real issue. We'll recommend a grout and sealer that resist staining and wipe clean easily, and a grout color that won't show mineral spots. In showers that matters more than almost any other choice.
Do you repair cracked or loose tile?
Yes. We remove the damaged tiles, check why they cracked or came loose, fix the base if that's the cause, and set new tile with matching grout. If you have spare tiles from the original job, those make the best match. If not, we'll help you find the closest one.
Can you regrout my shower instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If the tile is solid and the shower isn't leaking, we can grind out the old grout, regrout, and reseal it for a fraction of the cost of a new shower. If tile sounds hollow or water is getting behind the wall, regrouting won't fix it, and we'll tell you that up front.
Do you do small tile jobs, like just a backsplash?
Yes. A kitchen backsplash, a laundry room floor, a tub surround, or a tile repair on its own is a great project, and you get the same prep and care as a full remodel.
Do you install tile outside Cache Valley?
Yes. We're based in Logan and work across Cache Valley, and we regularly take tile projects in surrounding communities in northern Utah and southern Idaho.
