Why Choose Garrett Construction for Tile Installation?
Tile installation is one of the most technically demanding trades in construction. Bad tile work — uneven surfaces, cracked grout, failed waterproofing — is expensive to fix and often means removing everything and starting over. Our tile installers have 25+ years of experience doing it right the first time.
Precision Layout Planning
We map every tile layout before cutting a single piece — guaranteeing symmetrical patterns, centered focal points, and minimal cut tiles at the most visible edges. Learn more about Schluter tile installation systems we use.
Proper Substrate Preparation
Cementboard, Ditra membrane, and waterproof membranes — the right substrate for every application. The substrate is what tile fails on, not the tile itself. We never skip this step.
Premium Setting Materials
Large-format mortar, epoxy grout, and color-matched caulk at all changes of plane. We use the correct product for each tile type and application — not a one-mortar-fits-all approach.
Tile Is Part of Every Remodeling Project
Garrett Construction installs tile as part of these full-service remodeling projects — or as a standalone service for your specific tile needs.
Frequently Asked Questions About Tile Installation
How much does tile installation cost in North Saint Paul?
Tile installation in North Saint Paul typically ranges from $8–$25 per square foot installed, depending on tile type, pattern complexity, and substrate prep required. A kitchen backsplash typically runs $500–$1,500. A full bathroom tile job runs $2,000–$8,000. Contact us for a free estimate.
How long does tile installation take?
A kitchen backsplash typically takes 1–2 days. A full bathroom tile project takes 2–5 days including mortar cure time. Large floor tile projects may take 3–7 days. All projects require 24 hours of mortar cure before grouting and 72 hours before full use.
What is the best tile for a bathroom shower in Minnesota?
Porcelain tile is our top recommendation for shower surrounds — non-porous, freeze-thaw resistant, and virtually maintenance-free. Large-format porcelain (24x48) minimizes grout lines and creates a clean modern look. Natural stone is beautiful but requires sealing and more maintenance in wet environments.
Do you handle waterproofing for shower tile?
Yes — and it is the most important step. We install Schluter Kerdi membrane or RedGard waterproofing on all shower walls and floors before any tile goes down. This is what prevents water damage behind tile walls, which is the leading cause of expensive bathroom repair bills. We never skip waterproofing in wet areas.
Can you match existing tile for a repair?
We do our best to match existing tile for repairs — same manufacturer, series, and colorway when available. We always recommend homeowners keep a few boxes of their original tile for future repairs. When an exact match is impossible, we discuss creative solutions like accent borders or pattern changes to make the repair intentional rather than obvious.
What areas of the Twin Cities do you serve?
We serve Minneapolis-St. Paul and the full metro including Edina, Minnetonka, Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Plymouth, Maple Grove, Burnsville, Eagan, Woodbury, and 50+ communities throughout the Twin Cities.
