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.
Millcreek accent work is usually part of a considered remodel rather than a quick update. The brick homes around 3900 South and Highland Drive often take natural stone or glass mosaic in a master bath or an entry, and those materials behave differently under the trowel: stone can let setting material show through, and glass reads every ridge left behind it. The installer plans the edges and mitered returns early, because on a small feature panel the perimeter details carry most of the time on the job.

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 Millcreek?
Material drives scope on the bench, since glass and natural stone mosaic each need a different setting approach and a different grout, and both are less forgiving of a substrate that is not flat. 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.
Glass or natural stone mosaic for a Millcreek master bath?
They fail in different ways, which is the useful way to compare them. Glass is set with a white setting material and a full, even trowel pattern because anything behind it is visible through the tile, and it is cut with different blades. Stone absorbs, so it usually wants sealing, it can be marked by a dark grout, and the tone varies from lot to lot. Neither is harder in the abstract, but the installer needs to know which one is coming before ordering anything else.
