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 splits into two kinds of stair job. On the older streets near Murray Park and the State Street corridor the runs are solid, but the carpet has been down for decades and what is under it is rough lumber with paint overspray and staples. In the Fireclay and Vine Street townhomes the stair is the only route between floors, so the installer has to stage the work so the flight stays usable, and thinset cure time, not the setting itself, decides how many days that lasts.
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 Murray?
Tread count, the condition of the wood under the old carpet, and the nosing detail move most of the scope, and in an attached building so does hauling material up and debris down a shared stair. 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 a Fireclay townhome stair be tiled while the house stays lived in?
It can, but the schedule has to be built around it. In a townhome with one flight between the living level and the bedrooms, that stair cannot be closed for a day and reopened at will, because thinset needs time to cure before anyone walks on the treads. The common approach is to work the run in halves so one side stays walkable, and to confirm any association rules on work hours and elevator or stairwell use before the start date.
