Wall Tile That Looks Designed, Not Just Installed

Wall tile is where a tile setter's skill shows the most. Cuts around outlets, end pieces against cabinets, miters at corners, and grout lines up near the ceiling all sit at eye level, so there's nowhere for a rushed job to hide. Elite Northwest Flooring installs wall tile throughout Mukilteo and the surrounding Puget Sound area for kitchen backsplashes, shower surrounds, full wet walls, and accent feature walls.

We carry subway tile, handmade zellige, large-format porcelain slabs, marble and travertine, glass mosaics, and the textured dimensional tile that's become popular in primary bathrooms lately.

We start by checking the wall for plumb and flatness, since even a small bow over a few feet will telegraph through the finished tile. We add backer board or skim-coat as needed, then dry-lay the pattern to make sure cuts land in balanced, symmetrical places.

Showers get a full waterproofing membrane behind the tile, niches are framed and waterproofed before tile goes up, and every cut around an outlet or fixture is hand-trimmed to sit cleanly behind the cover plate. We finish with sealed grout and a final wipe-down. If you're tiling the floor of the same room, see our tile flooring and porcelain tile pages, or book a free estimate and we'll quote both at once.
