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.
The newer subdivisions west toward Bangerter are still finding their level, and exterior concrete shows that sooner than the house does. A patio slab poured over backfill next to a young foundation can drop a little at the outside edge, and a slab that moves takes the tile with it unless the assembly is isolated from it. The installer wants to know how old the slab is, where its control joints run, and whether a crack is dormant or still opening. Older porches near Gardner Village are past that stage and ask different questions.
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 West Jordan?
On the newer west side it usually comes down to what the slab is doing: a young slab that is still moving needs an uncoupling or crack isolation layer and honest joint placement, while an older porch near Gardner Village is more often about correcting slope and removing whatever failed there before. 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.
There is a crack in the patio slab at this newer West Jordan house. Does that rule out tile?
Not by itself, but it decides how the job is built. A shrinkage crack that has stopped moving can be treated and tiled over with an isolation layer between the slab and the tile. A crack that is still opening, or one where the two sides sit at different heights, is structural movement, and tile set straight over it will telegraph the crack within a season or two. The installer looks at edges, width, and whether the slab is settling at the backfill before deciding, and existing control joints get carried up through the tile rather than grouted solid.
