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.
Old Midvale walls are rarely plumb, and that matters more with mosaic than with anything else. Near historic Main Street a herringbone or basketweave panel has to be set against a real reference line rather than against a wall that leans, or every sheet after the first one carries the error further. At Bingham Junction and Jordan Bluffs the substrate is new and flat, so the conversation moves to material instead: glass, stone, and pebble each set and grout differently and are not interchangeable choices.

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:
- The size of the accent area and how it meets the field tile around it
- The mosaic material, since glass, stone, and pebble each set and grout differently
- Whether the layout has to center on a fixture, a niche, or a sight line
- How many edges and transitions need trim or a mitered return
- Whether the accent is going into new work or into existing tile
- Grout choice, because a mosaic has far more joint than a field tile does
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?

Questions
Frequently asked
How much does mosaic and accent tile work cost in Midvale?
In the historic core the condition of the walls behind the tile usually sets the scope, while in the newer Jordan Bluffs builds the material choice and the amount of edge work do. 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 a herringbone feature panel go on the walls of an old Midvale house that are not plumb?
Yes, but the wall has to be corrected or the pattern has to be planned to absorb the error. Herringbone and basketweave are unforgiving because the eye reads the repeating angle, so a wall that leans a small amount over eight feet shows up as a growing wedge at the top. The installer will usually flatten the wall first, since floating a panel over an uneven surface also invites lippage between sheets. Where the wall cannot be corrected, the error gets moved to an outside edge where trim can cover it.
