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 jobs are usually considered ones: an entry, a bath, or a whole main level in a mid-century brick house that has been kept up by a second or third owner. Two things come up here again and again. Natural stone wants a flatter substrate than ceramic, because lippage shows badly across a honed surface under daylight. And most of these houses already have hardwood somewhere, so the transition height and the threshold detail get worked out before tile is set rather than covered with a metal strip afterward.
What this covers
- Entries, mudrooms, and hallways
- Kitchen and dining floors
- Bathroom and laundry floors
- Large-format porcelain
- Basement slabs
- Transitions and thresholds to carpet or wood
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 how many rooms and doorways it crosses
- The condition and flatness of the subfloor, which often needs work before tile
- Whether the existing floor has to come out, and what it is
- The tile size, since large format demands a flatter floor than small tile
- Whether a crack isolation or uncoupling membrane is called for
- How many transitions, thresholds, and trim details the layout creates
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 tile flooring cost in Millcreek?
Stone versus porcelain, how flat the substrate starts out, and how the new floor meets the existing hardwood at the thresholds are the three things that actually move the scope. 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.
What does an uncoupling membrane actually do under a stone or porcelain floor?
It separates the tile from the subfloor so the two can move slightly without fighting each other. Wood expands and contracts with the seasons and tile does not, and without a layer between them that difference ends up as cracked grout or a cracked tile. Most of these membranes also spread a point load and give a consistent bonding surface, which helps hold a flat plane across big stone pieces. It is not a substitute for a stiff, flat subfloor, and it will not rescue a floor that flexes.
