Tile Installation in Pensacola, FL
A local tile contractor for floors, walls, backsplashes, and whole homes, set flat, level, and built for Gulf Coast living.
About our tile installation in Pensacola
Tile is the right floor for the Florida Panhandle. It shrugs off sand, humidity, wet dogs, and salt air that warps wood and stains carpet. The difference between a floor that lasts thirty years and one that cracks in three comes down to prep and installation, which is exactly where Custom Tile & Design earns its name.
We flatten and prime slabs, set large format porcelain with leveling systems, and keep grout joints straight across every doorway. Every floor is installed to Tile Council of North America (TCNA) methods so it looks right on day one and still looks right after a decade of beach season.
What is included in our tile installation.
Everything below is part of the written scope, not an upsell on install day.
- Large format porcelain and ceramic, including 24 by 48 and plank tile
- Natural stone: travertine, marble, slate, and limestone
- Wood look tile planks with tight, straight joints
- Herringbone, chevron, and diagonal patterns
- Kitchen backsplashes: subway, zellige, mosaic, and slab style
- Slab flattening, crack isolation, and uncoupling membranes
- Tear out and haul away of carpet, laminate, and old tile
- Grout color matching and sealing
How we handle tile installation on the Gulf Coast.
The same sequence on every job, so the estimate and the finished work match.
- Step 1
Measure and layout
We measure every room, plan cuts to avoid slivers, and show you the layout before the first tile goes down.
- Step 2
Substrate prep
Slabs are ground flat and primed. Wood subfloors get backer board or an uncoupling membrane so the tile never telegraphs movement.
- Step 3
Set and level
Large format tile is set with a leveling clip system and a flat trowel so no edge lips up under bare feet.
- Step 4
Grout, seal, walkthrough
Grout is cleaned, sealed where needed, and the whole floor is reviewed with you before we call it done.
A tile contractor in Pensacola, not a flooring store
Custom Tile & Design is a licensed and insured tile contractor, not a showroom. We bring porcelain, ceramic, and stone samples to your home, measure the rooms, and install the tile ourselves. You get one crew and one written estimate from the first visit to the final grout line. See recent tile floors we have installed across the area.
Kitchen backsplash installation in Pensacola
The backsplash is the detail everyone notices first in a kitchen. We set subway, zellige, mosaic, and slab style tile with mitered outside corners, finished edges, and outlets that sit flush, not proud of the tile. A backsplash is one of our quickest projects, and we bring samples to your kitchen so you can see them against your counters and cabinets. We also install kitchen floors and coordinate with cabinet and countertop trades on full kitchen refits.

Tile installation: questions from Pensacola homeowners.
How long does a tile floor install take?
It depends on the room size, the tile, and how much prep the floor needs. A single room is usually a matter of days, and whole home projects are scheduled in phases so you keep use of the house. Your written estimate includes the schedule.
Can you tile over my existing floor?
Sometimes. Sound, well bonded tile on a slab can be tiled over with the right primer. Carpet, laminate, and loose tile must come out, and we include tear out in the estimate.
Do you install wood look tile?
Yes, it is one of our most requested floors in Pensacola because it looks like hardwood and ignores humidity. Plank tile needs a very flat floor and offset joints no greater than one third, which we plan for. Our tile vs. LVP guide compares plank tile with vinyl plank room by room.
How long does a kitchen backsplash take?
Backsplashes are among our quickest projects, with grout applied on a separate visit after the tile sets. Outlet extenders, mitered corners, and the caulk line at the counter are included, and the estimate gives you the schedule.
Should the backsplash go to the ceiling?
Behind a range hood it often looks best full height. Elsewhere, stopping at the upper cabinets is standard. We show both options during layout.
