Bathroom Tile Installation in Las Vegas
We install waterproof tile in bathrooms throughout Las Vegas with proper membrane systems that prevent water intrusion. Vegas homes face unique challenges with hard water that leaves mineral buildup on tile and grout surfaces. Our installation process includes sealed grout lines that resist staining from calcium and magnesium deposits common in Las Vegas water supply. You get modern patterns with easy-clean grout that stays fresh longer even with hard water exposure.
The key to lasting bathroom tile in Vegas is proper substrate preparation and waterproofing before any tile goes on the wall. We work with homeowners remodeling bathrooms or replacing outdated tile that shows wear from years of mineral accumulation. Many older Vegas homes have tile installed without adequate waterproof barriers, leading to hidden moisture damage behind walls. Our installation method prevents these issues with membrane layers that stop water at the surface level.
Updated tile transforms your bathroom with a clean, modern look while protecting your home investment. Homeowners in Summerlin and Henderson choose us for master bath renovations where we remove old installations down to studs when needed. The extra preparation work ensures your new tile installation lasts 20-30 years without failure. Learn more about bathroom tile installation.
Shower Tile Installation in Las Vegas
We install shower tile with full waterproof barrier systems that meet current building codes for wet areas. Our tilework protects walls and floors from water damage while creating a sealed enclosure that handles daily shower use. You get slip-resistant floor tile for safety and durability, selected specifically for wet surface traction. The combination of proper slope, waterproof membrane, and quality tile creates a shower that functions perfectly for decades.
Vegas homes built before 2000 often have inadequate shower waterproofing that leads to slow leaks and eventual structural damage. We work with homeowners replacing cracked shower tile or upgrading stall showers that show signs of water intrusion. The desert climate actually makes shower leaks worse because the dry air pulls moisture through any weak points in the tile or grout. This creates a cycle of damage that spreads faster than in humid climates where everything stays saturated.
New tile gives you a modern shower that lasts for decades when installed with proper waterproofing beneath the surface. This service is popular in older Vegas homes with fiberglass showers being replaced by custom tile installations. Many homeowners upgrade to walk-in showers during renovations, which requires complete waterproofing of the curb-free floor area. Learn more about shower tile installation.
Kitchen Backsplash Installation in Las Vegas
We install heat-resistant tile behind stoves and sinks in Las Vegas kitchens where cooking and cleaning create daily wear. Our backsplash tilework protects walls from splashes, grease, and heat damage that occurs during meal preparation. You get an easy-to-clean surface that resists stains from cooking oils and tomato-based sauces that typically mark painted walls. The sealed surface also prevents moisture from sink areas from soaking into drywall and causing deterioration over time.
Kitchen backsplash tile serves both practical and design purposes in Vegas homes where open floor plans make the kitchen visible from living areas. We work with homeowners updating kitchens or protecting walls from daily wear that happens in high-use cooking spaces. A tile backsplash adds style while keeping your kitchen walls in good condition through years of meal preparation. The installation process takes one to two days depending on the size of the area and complexity of the pattern you choose.
Backsplash tile is in high demand for Downtown Las Vegas kitchen flips and renovations where investors want durable, attractive finishes. We also see strong interest in Henderson and Summerlin neighborhoods where homeowners update 15-20 year old kitchens with modern tile designs. The right backsplash can completely change the look of your kitchen while adding genuine protection to wall surfaces. Learn more about kitchen backsplash installation.
Floor Tile Installation in Las Vegas
We install floor tile in entryways, living areas, and throughout Las Vegas homes where tile provides natural cooling benefits. Our tile flooring provides a cool surface during hot months when Vegas temperatures reach 110-115 degrees regularly. The thermal mass of tile actually helps moderate indoor temperatures by staying cooler than carpet or vinyl flooring. You get durable flooring that lasts decades while requiring minimal maintenance compared to other flooring types.
Floor tile selection matters in Vegas because of how the climate affects different materials over time. We work with homeowners replacing carpet or adding tile to high-traffic areas where durability becomes the deciding factor. Tile floors handle daily wear better than other flooring options while resisting the fading that occurs with prolonged sun exposure through windows. Many Vegas homes have large windows and sliding glass doors that let in intense UV light that damages carpet and wood floors within a few years.
This flooring choice is common throughout Vegas homes where durability matters most, particularly in open-concept designs. We work with porcelain and ceramic tile for floors, each offering different benefits for Vegas conditions. Porcelain provides superior density and moisture resistance while ceramic offers more budget-friendly options for interior spaces. The choice depends on your specific room requirements and whether the floor will see moisture exposure or outdoor temperature fluctuations. Learn more about floor tile installation.
Tile Removal in Las Vegas
We remove old tile safely without damaging walls or floors underneath, using controlled demolition techniques that protect your home structure. Our removal process prepares surfaces for new tile or subfloor repairs that may be needed after decades of use. You get full disposal of old tile and debris included in our service, eliminating the hassle of renting dumpsters or making multiple dump runs yourself.
Vegas homes often have hidden issues beneath old tile that only become visible during removal. We handle removal for homeowners preparing spaces for new tile installations where the existing work has failed or become dated. Proper removal prevents damage to the surfaces below, which is particularly important in Vegas where many homes have post-tension cable foundations. One wrong cut during tile removal can damage these cables and create expensive structural problems.
Tile removal is frequent in older North Las Vegas homes with original 1980s tile that has reached the end of its useful life. Those installations often used outdated methods without proper waterproofing or appropriate mortar for desert conditions. We also offer tile replacement services when only portions of your tile need updating rather than complete removal. This works well for isolated damage areas where surrounding tile remains in good condition. Learn more about tile removal.
Custom Tile Design in Las Vegas
We create one-of-a-kind tile layouts tailored to your space with attention to scale, color harmony, and architectural style. Our custom designs mix tile sizes, colors, and textures for visual impact that makes your space memorable. You get unique patterns, mosaics, or accent walls that match your style while complementing your home's overall design direction.
Custom tile design allows you to create spaces that reflect your personality rather than accepting standard contractor-grade patterns. We work with homeowners wanting tile designs that stand out from typical subdivision installations common across Vegas neighborhoods. Custom tilework adds personality to bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways where guests first see your home's interior. The design process starts with understanding your vision and then developing a layout that works within your space and budget parameters.
This design approach is popular in Spring Valley luxury homes and custom builds where homeowners invest in distinctive finishes. We create everything from subtle geometric patterns to bold statement walls using specialty tiles sourced from manufacturers across North America. Many designs incorporate multiple tile types in a single installation, combining natural stone accents with porcelain field tiles for textured depth. The installation of custom designs requires extra precision and planning compared to standard tile layouts. Learn more about custom tile design.Natural Stone Tile Installation in Las Vegas
We install marble, granite, travertine, and slate tile in Las Vegas homes where natural stone brings organic beauty and lasting value. Our natural stone surfaces feature unique grain and texture that stand out from manufactured tiles. You get a sealed finish that resists stains and moisture while maintaining the natural character of the stone material.
Natural stone requires specific installation techniques different from ceramic or porcelain tile installation. We work with homeowners upgrading to high-end stone tile that elevates their home's appearance and resale value. Natural stone adds elegance to bathrooms, entryways, and living spaces where the material's natural variation creates visual interest. Each piece of stone tile is unique, meaning your installation becomes a one-of-a-kind floor or wall that cannot be exactly replicated.
Henderson homeowners often choose stone for luxury bathrooms and foyer floors where the investment makes sense for the home value. Stone tile does require periodic resealing to maintain its protective barrier against stains and moisture penetration. We provide guidance on proper stone care after installation so your investment stays beautiful for 30-40 years. The sealed finish we apply during installation gives you immediate protection while the stone cures fully over the first few months. Learn more about natural stone tile installation.Tile Waterproofing in Las Vegas
We install membrane barriers before tile goes on in showers, tubs, and wet areas using systems that exceed minimum code requirements. Our waterproofing protects against water damage and mold growth that can develop behind tile in improperly sealed installations. You get a sealed barrier that keeps moisture out of wall cavities and floor structures where it causes hidden damage over years.
Waterproofing takes on extra importance in Vegas because of how the dry climate interacts with shower moisture. We work with homeowners preventing leaks in bathrooms and other wet spaces where water intrusion leads to expensive repairs. Proper waterproofing extends the life of your tile installation by keeping the substrate dry and stable beneath the surface. The membrane systems we use include liquid-applied products and sheet membranes that create redundant protection layers.
Vegas monsoon season and hard water make waterproofing especially important here where sudden weather changes test your home's water resistance. Summer monsoons can drop an inch of rain in 30 minutes, creating pressure on exterior walls and finding any weakness in waterproofing systems. Interior waterproofing in showers must account for daily moisture exposure combined with the structural movement common in desert construction. We test all waterproofing with flood tests before tile installation to confirm complete water containment. Learn more about tile waterproofing.
Outdoor Tile Installation in Las Vegas
We install UV-resistant tile on patios, pool decks, and outdoor kitchens in Las Vegas where extreme conditions demand specialized materials. Our outdoor tilework handles extreme desert heat without fading or cracking through temperature cycles that range from 110-degree days to 40-degree winter nights. You get a non-slip surface for safety around water that maintains traction even when wet from pool splashes or cleaning.
Outdoor tile in Vegas must withstand conditions that would destroy indoor-rated tile within a few years. We work with homeowners creating outdoor living spaces that last through decades of sun exposure, temperature extremes, and occasional freezing conditions. Outdoor tile adds style and function to backyards and pool areas where entertainment spaces extend your usable square footage. The installation process includes proper slope for drainage and expansion joints to accommodate seasonal movement.
Homeowners across Summerlin and Green Valley choose tile for their outdoor spaces where covered patios and pool decks see heavy use year-round. Vegas outdoor living spaces function as additional rooms during most of the year when weather permits comfortable outdoor activities. The tile we install for outdoor use has specific ratings for freeze-thaw resistance and slip resistance that exceed requirements for indoor tile. Proper installation includes substrate preparation that accounts for soil movement and settling common in desert soils. Learn more about outdoor tile installation.Why Choose The Hanson Company for Tile Work

Frequently Asked Questions About Tile Installation in Las Vegas
Contact usHow long does tile installation take in a typical bathroom?
Most bathroom tile installations take 3-5 days depending on the size and complexity of the project. The timeline includes surface preparation, waterproofing, tile installation, and grout curing time before the space can be used. Larger bathrooms or custom designs may require additional days to complete properly.
Does tile work well in Las Vegas climate?
Tile performs excellently in Las Vegas climate because it handles heat, UV exposure, and low humidity better than most flooring options. The material stays cooler than carpet or vinyl during summer months and resists fading from intense sun exposure. Proper installation with appropriate materials ensures tile lasts 20-30 years in Vegas conditions.
What is the difference between porcelain and ceramic tile?
Porcelain tile is denser and fired at higher temperatures than ceramic tile, making it more water-resistant and durable. Ceramic tile costs less and works well for interior walls and moderate-traffic floors. Porcelain suits high-moisture areas, outdoor installations, and heavy-traffic locations where maximum durability is needed.
How do you prevent tile from cracking in Las Vegas?
We prevent tile cracking by using proper substrate preparation, appropriate mortar selection, and expansion joints where needed. Vegas foundation settling requires flexible installation systems that accommodate minor movement without cracking tiles. Quality materials and correct installation techniques eliminate most cracking issues over the life of the installation.
Can outdoor tile survive Vegas winters?
Yes, properly selected outdoor tile survives Vegas winters when rated for freeze-thaw conditions. We install tile with proper slope for drainage and use frost-resistant materials designed for temperature extremes. The installation must include expansion joints and appropriate substrate preparation to handle seasonal temperature swings from freezing to over 100 degrees.
How often should tile grout be resealed?
Tile grout should be resealed every 1-2 years in high-moisture areas like showers and every 3-5 years in dry areas like floors. Vegas hard water accelerates grout deterioration, making regular sealing important for maintaining water resistance. Sealed grout resists staining and prevents water from penetrating behind tile surfaces.
