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.
Murray gives the installer two exterior jobs that share almost nothing. On the older streets near Murray Park the work is a ground level porch or a set of entry steps that have been patched more than once, and the first question is what the last surface failed against. At Fireclay and Vine Street the deck is often raised, sometimes over parking or another unit, and then waterproofing is not a detail but the whole assembly, because anything that gets past the tile ends up in someone's ceiling rather than in the dirt.
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 Murray?
A patched older porch near Murray Park and a raised deck at Fireclay are different scopes: one turns on removing failed repairs and correcting slope on a slab that has been worked over, the other on a waterproofing assembly that has to be right over occupied space, plus whatever the building requires. 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.
Is tiling a raised deck or balcony in Murray different from tiling a patio on the ground?
Very. On grade, water that gets through the tile drains into soil and the worst outcome is a failed bond. Over occupied space the waterproofing is the roof of whatever is below, so it is a bonded sheet or liquid membrane, tied into the drains and turned up at every edge and door, and it gets tested before tile goes over it. Drainage has to go somewhere specific rather than simply off the edge. Building management usually has requirements of its own, and those are worth reading before material is chosen.
