About Inspired Tile KC — Joe, Owner & Installer

Inspired Tile KC is owned and operated by Joe, a full-time tile contractor with 14+ years of hands-on installation experience across the Kansas City metropolitan area. Based in Lee's Summit, Missouri, Joe personally installs every tile on every project — no subcontractors, no rotating crews, no junior installers handling your shower waterproofing.

That single-installer model is unusual in the Kansas City tile industry. Most larger tile companies bid the work, hand it off to a crew, and quality varies wildly from job to job. At Inspired Tile KC, the person who quotes your project is the same person who waterproofs the shower, sets the tile, mixes the grout, and walks you through the final result.

Our Approach

Every project starts with a free in-home consultation. We measure, talk through your vision, look at tile selections, and identify any substrate or plumbing issues that could affect the install. You receive a detailed written quote with line-itemed scope, fixed pricing, and a clear timeline — usually within 48 hours.

On install day, we protect your floors, contain dust, and work clean. Showers are waterproofed with Schluter KERDI sheet membrane and pressure-tested before tile goes up. Floors get DITRA uncoupling membrane and self-leveler where needed. Grout is color-matched and sealed. Final detail work — caulking, trim profiles, niche silicone — is done by hand.
