What Tacoma Customers Say
"Had our tile installation done by Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling Pros and couldn't be happier! The technician was professional, on time, and the results are amazing. Highly recommend to anyone in Tacoma."
"Third contractor we tried for tile installation in Tacoma — the first two either ghosted or gave unrealistic timelines. These guys showed up when they said, did what they said, and charged what they said."
"Our builder-grade bathroom in Tacoma was embarrassing for a home this nice. After the tile installation, guests actually comment on how beautiful the bathroom is. Money well spent."
"The heated tile floor they installed during our tile installation was the best upgrade decision we made. Washington winters are cold and stepping onto warm tile in Tacoma makes every morning better."
Tile Installation FAQ
Common questions about tile installation in Tacoma
What tile pattern do you recommend for small bathrooms?
Large-format tiles (12×24 or larger) with minimal grout lines make small spaces feel bigger. Light colors amplify this effect. Diagonal or herringbone patterns add visual interest without overwhelming the space.
How do you waterproof a shower before tiling?
We use either Schluter-KERDI membrane or liquid-applied RedGard. The membrane covers all shower walls and floor, creating a waterproof envelope. We flood-test before any tile goes up. No shortcuts on waterproofing — ever.
Can you match tile to my existing bathroom?
We can often find close matches, especially for standard ceramic and porcelain. For discontinued tile, we source from salvage suppliers or find complementary alternatives. Bring a sample to your Tacoma consultation.
