Tile Installation in Marietta, GA
Backsplash, floor, shower and feature-wall tile installation for Marietta kitchens and baths — precise layout, straight grout lines, proper waterproofing and clean edges, planned with a written scope and a published typical price range.
New Tile for Your Marietta Home
Tile shows every shortcut, so layout and prep matter more than the tile itself. The most common requests we hear in Marietta are a new kitchen backsplash, updated bathroom floors, and a fully waterproofed shower. We start by checking the surface underneath, because a flat, sound, properly prepped substrate is what makes tile look right and last.
From there the work is about layout and detail: where the pattern starts so cuts fall in the right places, how grout lines align across walls and floors, the right edge trim where tile meets other surfaces, and clean cuts around outlets, niches and fixtures.
What's Included in Your Tile Installation
Kitchen and bath backsplashes in subway, mosaic, zellige and large-format tile, set with even spacing and clean outlet cuts.
Porcelain, ceramic and natural-stone floor tile with proper substrate prep, flat layout and durable grout.
Waterproofed shower walls, niches and pans, and other wet areas built with sloped substrates and sealed seams.
Schluter and metal edge trim, bullnose, mitered corners and clean transitions wherever tile meets another surface.

Planning Your Tile Project in Marietta
A good tile job starts under the tile, not with the tile. Before anything is set, we check the substrate for flatness and soundness, confirm waterproofing for any wet area, and plan the layout so the pattern is balanced and cuts land where they belong. Getting that right up front is what separates tile that lasts from tile that cracks or lifts.
Next comes material and pattern. We walk tile options with you — subway, mosaic, large-format, natural stone — and plan the layout, grout color and edge detail. Small choices like where a row starts or how a corner is finished are what make the finished work look professional.
Selections follow layout. Substrate prep and waterproofing matter more than the tile itself for how an installation holds up: flat, sound substrates, proper membranes and correct setting materials last. Quartz is low-maintenance, while quartzite and marble bring natural movement but need more care. Pattern and tile size drive the amount of cutting and layout work, which we plan during design rather than discovering it mid-installation.
What Affects Tile Cost and Schedule
A straightforward backsplash in Marietta costs less and finishes faster than a floor or shower that needs substrate repair and waterproofing. We price both paths when it helps you decide. Tile size and material, total square footage, surface prep, pattern complexity and the amount of cutting and edge work move the number most.
A tile project is less disruptive than a full remodel. A backsplash is usually a day or two; floors and showers take longer because each layer has to cure. We sequence prep, waterproofing, setting and grout so the work is done right and your space is back as soon as possible.

Tile Installation FAQ
How long does tile installation take?
Most backsplashes take one to two days. Floors and showers take longer because the substrate, setting mortar and grout each need time to cure before the next step.
Do you waterproof showers before tiling?
Yes. Wet areas get a proper waterproofing membrane and sloped substrate before any tile goes on, so the installation lasts and passes inspection where required.
How much does tile installation cost in Marietta?
Installed pricing in the Atlanta area typically runs about $1,200 to $3,500 for a kitchen backsplash and $8 to $25 per sq ft for floor or shower tile. Your price comes from your written scope.
