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.
Fireplaces across West Valley City range from a 1950s Chesterfield brick opening to a builder box in a subdivision off 6400 West, and the appliance decides the scope before the tile does. The manufacturer of the insert or gas appliance sets the required clearance around the opening, so the installer asks for make and model early rather than measuring by eye. Anything touching the gas line, the appliance, or the venting is licensed work outside tile scope, and a tile setter should say that plainly instead of working around 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 West Valley City?
The main drivers are the condition of what is behind the tile, whether the surround stops at the mantel or carries floor to ceiling, and what the appliance manufacturer requires for clearance around the opening, since that can rule out a material or force a different 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.
Why does the installer need the make and model of the fireplace before quoting tile?
Because clearance to combustibles and the finished opening dimensions come from the appliance manufacturer, not from a general rule of thumb. The model determines how close a combustible mantel or trim can sit, how much of the face must stay non-combustible, and sometimes whether a surround panel can be covered at all. That label is usually inside the firebox or behind the lower grille, and a photo of it answers most of the layout questions in one step.
