Tell us about your tile project. We review each request by hand and, if an independent local installer is available, we put you in touch. Submitting does not guarantee availability.
We do not do the work. Independent local tile installers do, and you contract directly with the one you choose.
Old Midvale fireplaces near Main Street hold surprises. Once the existing facing comes off there can be an original masonry throat, an abandoned flue, plaster over wire lath, or a hearth patched by somebody in a hurry years ago. The installer treats that removal as a discovery step rather than a formality, because the wall that ends up getting tiled is not always the wall anyone expected. Over at Bingham Junction the fireboxes are new and the work is mostly a flat substrate, a clean layout, and a tidy edge at the opening.
What this covers
- Surrounds around the firebox opening
- Hearths at floor level or raised
- Full-height tile from floor to ceiling
- Stacked stone and ledger panel
- Large-format and slab surrounds
- Tiling over an existing brick face
What affects the scope
Every tile job is different, and the independent installer who does the work sets their own price. These are the things they will usually need to know before they can estimate:
- How much of the wall is being covered, from a simple surround to floor to ceiling
- What is on the face now, since brick, stone, and old tile each demolish differently
- The clearances the appliance manufacturer requires around the opening
- Whether a mantel is staying, coming off, or being reset
- The tile format, because ledger panel, slab, and small tile are different labor
- Whether the wall behind needs to be rebuilt once the old face is off
Worth asking any installer directly: are you licensed and insured for this work, what waterproofing system do you use, what is your estimate and what does it include, when could you start, and what happens if something is not right afterwards?

Scope and licensing: Anything touching the gas line, the appliance, or the venting is licensed work in Utah and sits outside a tile installer's scope. Required clearances around the firebox come from the appliance manufacturer, so the model matters. Related reading: Does a tile installer need a license in Utah?

Questions
Frequently asked
How much does fireplace tile cost in Midvale?
In the older stock near Midvale City Park the scope frequently changes once the old facing is off and the real condition of the masonry is visible, while a newer Bingham Junction firebox is predictable and priced around material, height, and edge detail. Taylorsville Tile Co. does not set prices. If an independent local installer is available for your job, that installer gives you their own estimate and you agree it directly with them before any work starts.
What tends to turn up when the old facing comes off a historic Midvale fireplace?
Usually some combination of soft mortar, an opening that was narrowed at some point, and a chimney that has been out of service long enough that nobody remembers whether it was properly capped. Plaster over wire lath is common on the wall above, and it rarely comes off clean. None of that stops a tile job, but it does mean the wall gets rebuilt or floated to a flat plane first, and anything involving the flue or a gas line is handed to the licensed trade that owns it.
