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.
Midvale holds the oldest and the newest stairs in this part of the valley within a few minutes of each other. Around historic Main Street and Midvale City Park the flights are often original, out of square from one side to the other, with landings that slope and treads cut to fit rather than cut to a number. At Bingham Junction and Jordan Bluffs the runs are new and consistent. In the old stock the installer measures every step individually instead of assuming one tread size repeats down the flight.
What this covers
- Treads and risers in porcelain or stone
- Landings and half landings
- Bullnose and mitered nosing details
- Stair runs from a basement or a main level
- Carpeted stairs converted to tile
- Anti-slip finishes on tread surfaces
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 number of treads and landings in the run
- Whether the existing stairs are carpet, wood, or tile, which changes the tear-out
- How consistent the existing riser heights are before tile is added
- The nosing detail, since a mitered edge is more labor than a bullnose piece
- Whether the tile is available in a matching stair or bullnose trim
- Any railing or baluster work that has to be removed and reset
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 tiling a staircase cost in Midvale?
In the older housing the scope depends on how far out of square the run is, how much of the stringer or landing needs correcting first, and whether the treads can be brought to a common depth without rebuilding them. 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 happens when an old Midvale stairwell is out of square?
Out of square means the wall on one side is not parallel to the wall on the other, so a tread cut square will show a gap that grows down the run. The installer handles it by scribing the treads to the actual walls and by planning where the taper is least visible, usually against the wall rather than at the open nosing edge. The same problem shows up at a sloping landing, where the tile has to sit flat while the framing underneath does not.
