Tile countertops in ceramic, porcelain and stone tile, with grout, edge trim and a solid base.
Tile countertops have a long history, and they can look wonderful: handmade ceramic in saturated colors, small mosaics in a vintage kitchen or large porcelain tile for a clean, modern look. Tile is heat resistant, available in countless styles and can be a sensible choice for budgets. Its weak point is the grout, which can stain and collect crumbs unless it is sealed or epoxy-based. Homeowners in Nashville use tile for kitchens, baths, outdoor counters and restoration projects.
We help you choose a tile with the right surface hardness and a rating suited to counters, and we discuss grout options such as sanded, unsanded and epoxy. We prepare a solid, flat base, usually cement backer board over plywood, and lay out the tile to avoid thin slivers at the edges. We set the tile with the right mortar, trim the edges with bullnose tile or wood or metal edging, grout and seal. We explain care, and the gentle maintenance grout needs.
A flat, rigid, water-resistant base matters more than the tile, and we build it with backer board over solid plywood.
Epoxy grout resists stains and is easier to clean, while cement grout needs sealing. Narrow joints are easier to keep clean.
Bullnose tiles, wood trim and metal edging finish the front edge and protect it.
We plan the layout to avoid small slivers, center patterns and align with sinks and backsplash.

It can be, if you choose a hard tile, narrow grout lines and a good sealer. Epoxy grout helps a lot.
Cement grout can. Sealing and epoxy grout reduce staining.
Heavy impacts can crack tile, and a flexing base can crack grout. We build a rigid base.
