Check local availability
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.
A Murray fireplace job splits by neighborhood. On the older streets near Murray City center the surround is often original brick that has to be floated or rebuilt, because brick is rarely flat enough for large tile and the mortar joints telegraph through the face. In the Fireclay and Vine Street townhomes the appliance is newer and the building sets the terms: shared walls, permitted work windows, dust control in a stacked unit, and whether the mantel can come off without disturbing the finish beside it.
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 Murray?
On an older Murray house the swing is usually in what it takes to make the brick face flat and plumb, while in an attached unit it is building access, protection, and dust containment, and in both the tile format and full height versus surround only change the work. 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 does a shared wall in a Murray townhome mean for fireplace tile work?
It means the noisy part of the job has to be planned. Removing an old surround and floating a wall makes impact noise that carries into the neighboring unit, so associations here often restrict when that can happen. Dust is the other half: a stacked unit shares corridors and sometimes air paths, so containment and negative air are a normal part of the setup. The installer should confirm the building rules and elevator scheduling before any demolition date is set.
