Tile & Stone
Tile & Stone, Set Right the First Time
Floors, showers, backsplashes, and feature walls — set by the in-house crew national brands trust with their stores, so yours stays beautiful for decades.
Tile and stone installation, residential and commercial
Hometown Stone installs porcelain, ceramic, glass, mosaic, and natural stone tile across the Central Valley — kitchen floors and backsplashes, custom showers, bathroom floors, fireplace surrounds, patios, and full commercial buildouts. Our setters handle everything from intricate mosaic pans to 48″ large-format panels, with the substrate prep and waterproofing that determine whether tile lasts five years or fifty.
Homeowners hire us directly; general contractors and designers put us on their hard-surface scopes; facilities teams call us for restaurant and retail work. Same crew, same standard.

Where we set tile
- Kitchens — backsplashes, floors, and counters that take real cooking traffic.
- Bathrooms — shower surrounds, pans, floors, and wainscot, waterproofed properly.
- Living areas — large-format and wood-look plank floors, stair risers, feature walls.
- Outdoors — patios, outdoor kitchens, and pool surrounds in freeze-thaw-rated porcelain and stone.
- Commercial — restaurants, retail, offices, and ADA-compliant installations on schedule.
Materials and methods
Porcelain for durability, ceramic for value, natural stone (marble, travertine, slate, limestone) for character, glass and mosaic for accents — we'll tell you what fits the room and the budget, then prep accordingly: substrate flattening, cement board, decoupling membranes, and waterproofing where water lives. Large-format tile gets the lippage-control systems it demands. Radiant floor heat installs under tile cleanly; ask and we'll quote it inline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do small tile jobs or only full remodels?
Both. A backsplash is a perfectly good project for us — and often the start of a longer relationship. No scope is too small to do right.
Do you remove existing tile?
Yes — demo, disposal, substrate repair, and new installation are all in scope. Old tile hides surprises; we price honestly and tell you when we find something.
Can you install heated floors under tile?
Yes, electric radiant systems install under tile and stone floors — a favorite upgrade in bathrooms. We wire-coordinate with a licensed electrician where required.
Do you work with general contractors and designers?
Constantly. We hold our schedule, coordinate with other trades, and our commercial résumé (Starbucks, Chipotle, Taco Bell buildouts) means your inspector has seen our work before.
