Great Tile Starts Below the Surface
Tile is only as good as the foundation beneath it. Every Coastal Floors tile job begins with the same exacting prep sequence — the steps that separate a floor that lasts decades from one that cracks within a year.
Subfloor Inspection & Reinforcement
We check deflection, identify rot, and secure every weak point before anything else. Rigid subfloors are non-negotiable — even slight flex cracks grout joints under daily foot traffic.
Cement Backer Board
We install industry-standard cement board over the subfloor in every application — creating a dimensionally stable, moisture-resistant setting bed that tile can bond to permanently.
Waterproofing Membranes
In all wet areas — shower walls, shower pans, bathroom floors — we apply Schluter KERDI or RedGard before a single tile is set. This keeps water where it belongs: on the surface, not behind the wall.
Precision Layout & Lippage Control
We snap chalk lines, plan the layout to minimize small cuts at perimeters, and use leveling clips on large-format tile to eliminate lippage — the edge variation that catches feet and looks unprofessional.
Floor Tile Installation Across Hampton Roads
Tile is the most moisture-resistant flooring available — making it ideal for Hampton Roads' coastal climate. We've tiled hundreds of homes across Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Newport News, and the Northern Neck.
Kitchen Floors & Backsplashes
Porcelain is our top kitchen pick — it absorbs less than 0.5% moisture, withstands coastal humidity, and handles daily cooking mess without issue. We do full floor replacements and complete backsplash tile from countertop to cabinet in a single project.
From $6 / sq ftBathroom Floors & Shower Tile
The most technically demanding tile application. We apply Schluter KERDI or RedGard waterproofing before setting a single tile, then tile the pan, walls, niches, bench, and curb. Epoxy or unsanded grout where needed for lasting stain resistance. Our showers stay watertight for decades.
From $8 / sq ftEntryways, Mudrooms & Large-Format
Large-format tiles (18"×18" up to 48"×48") reduce grout lines and make open spaces look expansive and clean. They also demand a dead-flat subfloor — even 1/8" variation can crack a 24"×24" slab under load. We specialize in the back-buttering and lippage control that large-format tile requires.
From $10 / sq ftOutdoor Patios & Covered Porches
Hampton Roads' covered porches, screened patios, and pool surrounds need frost-rated, slip-resistant porcelain and the right exterior mortars and grouts for coastal temperature swings. Properly installed outdoor tile adds measurable resale value to coastal Virginia homes.

Common questions
Tile installation: your questions, answered
What homeowners ask us most about floor, shower and backsplash tile.
01What types of tile do you install?
We install porcelain, ceramic, natural stone (slate, travertine, marble), mosaic, and large-format tiles. Applications include kitchen floors, bathroom floors and showers, entryways, laundry rooms, and outdoor patios.
02How long does tile installation take?
A bathroom floor takes 1–2 days plus curing time. A full kitchen and living area typically takes 3–5 days. Large-format and pattern work require additional time for precision layout.
03Do I need to remove existing tile first?
Generally yes — tiling over old tile adds height and compromises grout alignment. We demo, assess the subfloor, and install cement backer board before setting new tile.
04What does tile installation cost in Hampton Roads?
Basic porcelain installation runs $6–$12 per sq ft. Natural stone and large-format tile range $10–$18 per sq ft. Contact us for a free on-site estimate with exact pricing.
05Do you tile showers?
Yes — we apply waterproofing membranes before setting any shower tile for a leak-free installation. We tile floors, walls, niches, benches, and curbless entries.
