Tile Installation
Precision tile installation for floors, walls, showers, and backsplashes using premium materials.
What This Service Includes
Tile installation is both an art and a science. At California Tile & Stone, our approach to every tile project begins with a thorough assessment of the substrate, the surface beneath the tile that ultimately determines the success and longevity of the installation. Whether we’re working with concrete, cement board, plywood, or an existing tile surface, our crews evaluate moisture levels, flatness, and structural integrity before a single tile is laid.
Our team installs ceramic, porcelain, marble, granite, travertine, limestone, terracotta, and mosaic tile across every surface of your home. Floor tile installations require careful attention to layout geometry, ensuring symmetrical cuts and properly aligned grout joints throughout the room. Wall tile work demands precision leveling and consistent spacing, particularly in shower and tub surrounds where waterproofing integrity is paramount.
Every shower installation begins with a comprehensive waterproofing system. We use industry-leading membrane systems to create a watertight barrier behind the tile, preventing moisture intrusion that can lead to mold, rot, and structural damage. Our shower floor installations include proper slope engineering to ensure complete water drainage.
Backsplash installations in kitchens and bathrooms require meticulous layout planning to ensure tile patterns align with cabinets, outlets, switches, and windows. Our crews take precise measurements and create detailed layout plans before installation begins, minimizing waste and ensuring a polished, professional result.
We also specialize in decorative mosaic work, including intricate floor medallions, accent borders, shower niches, and feature walls. These detail-oriented installations require patience, precision, and an artistic eye, qualities that every member of our team brings to every project.

Our Process
Every tile installation follows a structured process: substrate assessment and preparation, waterproofing (where applicable), precise layout and dry-fit, thinset application and tile setting, grout application, and final sealing. We test moisture levels, verify flatness, and confirm layout geometry before setting begins.
