Tile & Stone across Middle Tennessee

Tile & Stone across Middle Tennessee

Tile contractors who waterproof the shower before they tile it, flatten the floor before they set it, and grout the way the tile wants.

Tile contractors serving Nashville also cover Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville — 65 towns across 12 counties. The houses are not the same in any two of those towns, and neither is the tile and stone work:

• Nashville. Pre-war bathrooms have mortar-bed tile that lasted a century and plank subfloors under everything else; new tile on one needs a stiffened floor and a level, and the old tile is sometimes worth saving.
• Brentwood. Newer houses have plywood or OSB subfloors and fiberglass shower units, and the tile shower conversion is the common job; the substrate is usually sound and the waterproofing is the work.
• Murfreesboro. Newer houses have plywood or OSB subfloors and fiberglass shower units, and the tile shower conversion is the common job; the substrate is usually sound and the waterproofing is the work.
• Hendersonville. Older floors are neither flat nor stiff, and the tile job starts with the subfloor; a contractor who quotes tile without looking under the floor has not quoted the job.
• Columbia. Pre-war bathrooms have mortar-bed tile that lasted a century and plank subfloors under everything else; new tile on one needs a stiffened floor and a level, and the old tile is sometimes worth saving.
• Lebanon. Rural houses have mudrooms, back porches and outdoor steps that take tile and stone for wear, set for freeze-thaw and drainage.
