Tile Installation in Waterbury, Connecticut
Waterbury is our home base — the Brass City, with neighborhoods built out between the 1890s and the 1960s. Our office is in Waterbury, at 64 Ellen St.
Tile Installation for Waterbury homes
Bathrooms and kitchens in Waterbury — two- and three-family houses from the brass-mill era, 1910s–1930s colonials on the hills, Hillside Victorians, and post-war capes and ranches in Town Plot and the East End — often hide old tile on mortar beds or tired subfloors. We open things up and fix the base before setting new tile.
Older Waterbury homes have plaster walls, out-of-level floors, and kitchens that were updated once in the 1970s. We plan for leveling, plaster repair, and lead-safe practices on pre-1978 homes.
Every Waterbury job gets a written fixed scope before work starts. For the full breakdown of materials, typical costs, and our process, see our tile installation guide.
