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.
Newer West Jordan homes out toward Bangerter often came with a shallow builder surround and a raised hearth, and the common request is stacked stone or ledger panel over what is already there. Ledger panel is heavier and thicker than it looks in a showroom, so the wall behind it and the fastening method matter more than the pattern does. Older homes on the east side near Redwood Road are more likely to have real masonry, which changes the preparation entirely. Either way the clearance around the opening comes from the appliance manufacturer.
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 West Jordan?
What moves it is whether the existing face can be tiled over or has to be rebuilt, the weight and thickness of the material chosen, whether the hearth is being retiled at the same time, and how the mantel and any returns at the corners are finished. 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.
Can ledger panel stone go over the existing builder brick in a West Jordan home?
Sometimes, but the face has to be sound, clean, and flat enough, and the assembly has to be rated to carry the weight of the panel plus the mortar. Painted or sealed brick is a poor bonding surface and usually gets a lath and scratch coat instead of direct adhesion. The added thickness also pushes the finished face out, which affects the mantel depth, the hearth edge, and the clearance the appliance manufacturer requires, so those are checked together before material is ordered.
