Tile failures happen at the prep, not the tile
Cracked grout, lifted tiles, water damage behind a shower wall, almost always a substrate, waterproofing, or movement-joint issue. We install per TCNA / ANSI methods, with proper backer board or membrane, correct mortar for the substrate, movement joints where the assembly needs to flex.
Mountain bathrooms need real waterproofing
Vapor and condensation behave differently at altitude, and showers in vacation rentals get used hard. Waterproofing the entire wet area, not just the obvious spots, is non-negotiable.
What we tile
Bathroom floors and walls, tub surrounds, walk-in showers (curbed and curbless), kitchen backsplashes and floors, fireplace surrounds, mudroom and entryway floors, exterior patios, and large-format slabs.
Heated tile floors
Most mountain bathroom remodels include radiant heat under tile, and tile is the ideal material to set over an electric or hydronic warming system. We coordinate the heating mat install with the tile work so it's all one trade.
Materials
Ceramic, porcelain, natural stone (slate, travertine, marble), glass, mosaic, and metal accents. Source through your designer or have us recommend suppliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle waterproofing for showers?
Yes, and waterproofing the entire wet area (not just the obvious spots) is non-negotiable. We use proper waterproofing membranes, set per TCNA / ANSI methods, with the correct mortar for the substrate and movement joints where the assembly needs to flex. Vacation rental showers in particular get hit hard, so we don't cut corners here.
Can you install large-format tile?
Yes. 12x24, 24x48, and slab-style tiles are common in modern mountain bathrooms and kitchens. Large-format tile requires extra-flat substrate, back-buttered application, and specific mortars. We have the gear and the prep workflow for it.
What about heated tile floors?
Yes. Most mountain bathroom remodels include radiant heat under tile, and tile is the ideal material to set over an electric or hydronic warming system. We coordinate the heating mat install with the tile work.
Can you fix tile that's cracking or grout that's failing?
Yes, but we always investigate the cause first. Cracked grout, lifted tiles, and water damage behind a shower wall are almost always a substrate, waterproofing, or movement-joint issue. A patch fix usually fails again. We diagnose and rebuild correctly.
Do you do kitchen backsplashes?
Yes. Kitchen backsplashes (subway, mosaic, large-format, slab) are a frequent request, often as a refresh between full remodels. Quick to do, big visual impact.
Bathroom or kitchen tile project?
Free walk-through and estimate. We'll measure, talk substrate, and price out the whole assembly.
