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.
Stair work in West Valley City runs across two different eras of framing. The post-war Granger, Hunter and Chesterfield streets often have short runs and split entries where the treads were never meant to be seen, so the installer usually finds rough stringers and uneven riser heights under the carpet. Out toward 5600 and 6400 West the newer two-story builds have longer straight runs where one small error repeats itself fifteen times. Either way the installer measures every riser before ordering tread material.
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 West Valley City?
The scope moves on how many treads and risers are in the run, whether the existing steps were built to be carpeted or built to be finished, and whether the nosing is a bullnose trim piece or a mitered edge cut on site. 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.
Do older West Valley City stairs need different prep than the newer ones out west?
Usually yes. A post-war run framed for carpet tends to have stringers cut roughly and treads that vary in depth, so each step has to be brought to a common depth before any tile goes down. A newer run west of Bangerter is generally more consistent, which means the installer can hold one tread size, but it also means a repeated error shows up plainly across a long straight flight.
