If you need tile or backsplash installation in Fort Pierce, we install kitchen backsplashes, bathroom and shower tile, and floor tile, and we also repair cracked tiles and regrout showers that have seen better days. Tile is the right surface for a coastal home: it laughs off the humidity that warps wood and ruins carpet. But it only behaves that way when it is set on a solid, properly prepared surface.
Fort Pierce homes run the gamut, from the older places near downtown and along the river to the newer builds out by Lakewood Park and St. Lucie West nearby. We see two jobs again and again here: a dated backsplash or a tired bathroom that the homeowner has stared at for years, and an aging shower where the grout has gone soft and dark from sitting in salt air and moisture. Both are fixable, and neither has to mean a full gut renovation.
Surface preparation is most of the job. When old tile comes off an older Fort Pierce wall, it often takes chunks of drywall with it, so we patch and level first. That is the same careful prep work behind our painting and drywall service in Fort Pierce. And if your project includes a new faucet or disposal while the counter is open, our basic plumbing service can handle it in the same visit and save you a second appointment.
A practical tip whether you hire us or not: order about 10 percent more tile than the area measures. Cuts, breakage and future repairs will use it, and dye lots vary between production runs, so tile bought later may not match. This matters even more in older homes, where the original style may be long discontinued.
We install tile and backsplashes throughout Fort Pierce, Port St Lucie and the rest of St Lucie County, including White City, Lakewood Park and Hutchinson Island. Call (772) 212-2121 for a flat quote; for most backsplashes a few photos and rough measurements are enough to price it over the phone. You can also compare notes on our tile installation in Port St Lucie page.
