Custom Tile Services We Install

Custom Walk-In Showers & Curbless Showers

Fully waterproofed walk-in shower systems built around Schluter KERDI membranes, KERDI-BOARD wall panels, and KERDI-LINE linear drains. We install curbless showers, barrier-free roll-in showers, large-format porcelain shower walls, marble mosaic shower floors, recessed niches with LED lighting, floating benches, and frameless glass enclosures. Every shower we build is engineered to last decades — not just look good on day one.

Tile Flooring & Heated Floors

Porcelain tile flooring, ceramic flooring, natural stone flooring, and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) installations across kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, basements, and entryways. We install Schluter DITRA-HEAT electric radiant floor heating beneath tile for warm, efficient comfort in any Kansas City home. Patterns include herringbone, chevron, brick offset, and book-matched layouts.

Kitchen Backsplashes

Handmade zellige backsplashes, herringbone marble, glass mosaic, subway tile, and large-format porcelain backsplashes — installed with mitered outside corners and color-matched grout for a finished, designer-grade result.

Fireplace Surrounds & Hearths

Floor-to-ceiling tile fireplace surrounds, stacked stone hearths, modern porcelain slab fireplace facings, and traditional ceramic mantels. We work with your designer or help you spec materials directly.

Full Bathroom Remodels (Tile Scope)

Demolition, substrate prep, waterproofing, shower build, floor tile, wainscoting, niches, benches, accent walls, and final grouting. We coordinate with plumbers, electricians, and glass installers so the tile portion of your bathroom remodel is seamless.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does custom tile installation cost in Kansas City?

Most custom shower builds in the KC metro fall between $6,500 and $15,000 depending on size, tile selection, niches, benches, and whether the substrate needs full demo. Backsplashes typically run $1,200 to $3,000. Floor tile is usually quoted per square foot. Every quote is fixed-price after a free in-home consultation.

Do you waterproof showers properly?

Yes. We use Schluter KERDI sheet membrane and KERDI-BOARD on all wet-area walls, KERDI-LINE or KERDI-DRAIN at the floor, and pre-sloped shower trays where appropriate. This is a fully bonded, sheet-applied waterproof system — far more reliable than topical liquid membranes.

Do you install heated tile floors?

Yes. We install Schluter DITRA-HEAT electric radiant floor heating systems beneath tile in bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways across the Kansas City metro.

What areas do you serve?

Lee's Summit, Kansas City, Overland Park, Olathe, Leawood, Prairie Village, Independence, Liberty, Blue Springs, Raymore, Belton, Shawnee, Lenexa, and surrounding KC metro suburbs.

Do you do full bathroom remodels?

We handle the complete tile scope of bathroom remodels — demo, waterproofing, shower build, floor tile, wainscoting, niches, and benches. We coordinate with trusted plumbers, electricians, and glass installers when needed.
