We do not do the work. Independent local tile installers do, and you contract directly with the one you choose.
Millcreek homes on the east bench below the mouth of the canyon are mid-century brick, well kept, and usually with their second or third owner. Plank tile here tends to be part of a considered remodel rather than a quick refresh, and the questions get specific: how the tone reads against existing wood in adjoining rooms, whether the room proportion suits a herringbone or chevron layout, and how the threshold at real hardwood gets handled. Herringbone doubles the cut count and demands a flatter floor than a straight run.
What this covers
- Porcelain plank in wood-look finishes
- Basements, laundry rooms, and mudrooms
- Whole main levels in plank format
- Herringbone and chevron plank layouts
- Transitions to carpet, wood, or vinyl
- Plank over concrete slab
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 the layout direction the room calls for
- How flat the subfloor is, which matters more for long planks than for square tile
- The plank length, since longer planks are less forgiving of an uneven floor
- Whether the pattern is a running offset, a herringbone, or a chevron
- Whether the existing floor comes out first
- The number of doorways and transitions in the run
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 wood-look tile cost in Millcreek?
Layout is the biggest lever on these jobs: a straight run sets faster than herringbone or chevron, which add cuts, waste, and layout time, and an older bench home may also need floor leveling and a custom threshold detail where tile meets existing hardwood. 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.
Is wood-look porcelain a step down from hardwood in a mid-century Millcreek home?
They solve different problems. Porcelain is waterproof, dimensionally stable, and will not cup near a slider or a laundry room the way wood can, which is why it goes into basements, mudrooms, and baths in these houses. Wood is warmer, quieter, and can be refinished later, which porcelain cannot. In a home where original hardwood remains in the front rooms, the usual approach is porcelain in the wet and lower spaces with a deliberate transition rather than a color match that will never be exact.
