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.
Around historic Main Street the front porches are older than most of the concrete in the valley, and some were not poured as one slab at all but built up in stages over the years. Those get probed before anything is planned, because a tiled surface is only as stable as the thing under it, and an old porch that rocks underfoot is a repair before it is a tile job. At Bingham Junction the slabs are new, placed on redeveloped ground, and young concrete still has its own shrinkage to finish.
What this covers
- Patio and porch floors over concrete
- Entry steps and exterior stair treads
- Tile over an existing slab or a raised deck
- Exterior-rated porcelain and stone
- Drainage slope and waterproofing detail
- Replacing tile that has lifted or spalled
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 square footage and whether it is a ground-level slab or a raised structure
- The condition of the slab underneath, including existing cracks and how they move
- Whether the surface slopes away from the house, and whether it has to be corrected
- Whether a waterproofing or uncoupling membrane is called for under the tile
- The tile itself, since exterior use is about water absorption and slip resistance
- What comes off first, and why the last surface failed
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 outdoor tile cost in Midvale?
The two ends of the city behave differently: an old Main Street porch may need the structure under it repaired or rebuilt before tile is even a topic, while a new Bingham Junction slab is mostly about slope, joints, and letting fresh concrete finish curing first. 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 an old Midvale porch that was built up in stages take tile?
Only after somebody has established what it is actually made of. Porches from that era are often a base slab with later toppings, brick or block cheeks, and patches added over decades, and those layers do not move together in a freeze and thaw winter. The installer checks whether the toppings are still bonded, whether the steps are supported or floating, and whether water has been running into the joints between layers. Sometimes the honest answer is that the porch is rebuilt first and tiled second.
