FAQ

Tile installation questions, answered.

How much does tile installation cost in Tampa Bay?

Installation typically runs $9 to $16 per sq ft for floor and standard wall tile, depending on tile size, pattern, and substrate prep. Large format porcelain, natural stone, and intricate patterns (herringbone, basket weave, mosaic borders) sit higher. Demolition, waterproofing, and floor leveling are billed separately. Coastal Tile provides free, written, itemized estimates so you see the real number before committing.

Do you handle waterproofing or just the tile?

Both. Every wet area we tile is built on a Schluter Systems waterproofing assembly. Kerdi membrane on walls, foam pans on shower floors, sealed inside corners. We don't sub out waterproofing to other trades, and we never tile straight to drywall or cement board without a proper waterproof layer.

Can you install tile I bought elsewhere?

Yes. Many clients shop ProSource, Floor & Decor, or buy from designers. We'll install supplied tile and just bill for labor, prep, and materials. We'll also point out anything we're worried about before install (warping, lot variance, rectified vs. non rectified edges).

What sizes of tile do you install?

Everything from 1 inch mosaic to 60 inch large format porcelain slabs. Large format requires a flatter substrate and specific setting techniques. We use back buttering, leveling clips, and large format thinset to hit Schluter / TCNA standards.

How long does a tile install take?

A kitchen backsplash is typically 1 to 2 days. A standard hall bath floor and walls runs 3 to 5 days. A custom shower with Schluter waterproofing, niche, bench, and accent runs 5 to 8 days plus grout cure time. Whole home tile flooring depends on square footage and prep needs.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Coastal Tile Installation is a Florida State Certified Building Contractor (CBC1267464), fully insured with workers' comp and general liability. Certificates of insurance are available on request before any job starts.
