Tile and stone materials we install in Palm Coast homes
We set porcelain, ceramic and natural stone tile indoors and out, and LVP plank where tile isn't the right fit. The material decides where the tile can go, how it holds up in a Florida bathroom or on a sunny pool deck, and how much care it needs after it's down. We'll talk it through at the estimate.
Porcelain and ceramic tile
Porcelain absorbs 0.5% of its weight in water or less (ANSI A137.1). That's why it's the usual pick for Florida showers, floors and outdoor areas, in large-format, wood-look plank and stone-look styles. Ceramic suits walls and backsplashes. For a floor that gets wet, look for a DCOF of 0.42 or higher (ANSI A326.3), the wet-slip rating on the tile's spec sheet.
Natural stone and pavers
Travertine and marble for floors, showers and fireplace surrounds, plus travertine and porcelain pavers for lanais, patios and pool decks. Stone is porous. It gets sealed after it's set. Pool decks need a textured, outdoor-rated surface that keeps its grip when wet.
Mosaic and glass tile
Mosaic sheets and glass tile for backsplashes, shower niches and accent strips. On a shower floor, small tiles follow the slope to the drain, and the extra grout joints add grip. That helps when feet are wet.
What tile installation costs in Palm Coast and what moves the price
Tile installation runs $8 to $22 per square foot installed, from standard porcelain or ceramic at the low end to large-format tile and natural stone at the top. The surface and the room move the price as much as the tile you pick. Our estimates are free, and we give a firm price after reviewing your project. The Palm Coast tile installation cost guide goes into more detail.
Surface and prep
Leveling, patching or tearing out old tile. Tile only stays bonded to a flat, solid surface, and this is where two quotes for the same room usually split apart.
Tile size and layout
Large tiles, herringbone and diagonal layouts take more cuts and more setting time than a straight lay of standard tile.
Wet areas and stone
Showers need a waterproof membrane and a slope to the drain. Natural stone needs sealing, too.
How we install tile so it lasts
Most tile failures start below the tile. Hollow-sounding tile usually traces back to thin mortar coverage, and cracked tile to a surface that wasn't flat or solid. Four steps decide that. The step-by-step tile installation process covers each one in more depth.
1. Free estimate and walk-through
We look at the room, the surface under it and the tile you want, then give you a firm price. The estimate costs nothing.
2. A flat, solid surface
For tile with all edges under 15 inches, ANSI A108.02 allows 1/4 inch of variation in 10 feet. Larger tile needs a flatter floor, so low spots and loose areas get fixed before tile goes down.
3. Mortar coverage and waterproofing
The Ceramic Tile Education Foundation calls for 95% mortar coverage in wet areas and outdoors, and 80% in dry rooms. Showers get a waterproof membrane and a floor sloped at least 1/4 inch per foot to the drain (Florida Building Code, Residential). Skip either and it shows up later.
4. Grout, trim and final walkthrough
Grout joints and trim are set to the tile, so the room reads as one clean surface. Then we walk the finished job with you.
How long tile jobs take
These are typical working times once the job starts, for an average-size room. Most of the time goes into tear-out, prep and letting the setting materials cure, not laying tile.
Old tile that has to come out, large-format tile and a bigger room all add time. Ask for the schedule for your own room at the free estimate.

What a retile changes in a 2000s Florida home
Two problems we see all the time in 2000s Florida homes, a shower with failing grout and a worn ceramic kitchen floor, and how each room looks once it's retiled.
Shower before the retile
Cracked grout. Yellowed caulk. Both let water get behind the tile, where it soaks the wall and loosens the bond long before a stain shows on the surface.
Shower after, in large-format porcelain
Marble-look 12x24 porcelain, a recessed niche and a mosaic floor sloped to a linear drain.
Kitchen floor before
Tan 16x16 tile with dirty grout. One tile cracked.
Kitchen floor after, in wood-look plank tile
Oak-look 8x48 porcelain plank in a staggered layout with tight grout lines.

Great work, great price, easy and stress free from start to finish. I would give 10 stars if possible, highly recommend!
Mark Smith
August 13, 2026Jeff did our flooring here in Orlando and we honestly couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The porcelain tile work has a really clean, precise finish that shows he genuinely cares about what he's doing. What stood out was how clearly everything was communicated along the way. We always knew where things stood, pricing was straightforward from the beginning, and the whole process felt easy. Our home looks completely transformed, exactly what we had in mind. His attention to detail and suggestions throughout the project made a real difference. I'd absolutely recommend Palm Coast Tile & Stone to anyone.

August 21, 2026When I bought my place here in Orlando it had that tired, dated feel throughout. Palm Coast Tile & Stone came in and completely turned it around. The flooring and kitchen tile work came out sharp and clean, and the finish quality was exactly what I had pictured. Pricing was straightforward from day one, the crew kept the site tidy, and they hit every milestone on time. The whole process was genuinely stress free. I went from an old musty looking home to somewhere modern and bright that I am actually happy to live in. I would absolutely recommend them.

Quick, efficient, honest work, and kept the area clean every single day. The porcelain tile work in our bathroom came out beautifully, and Jeff gave us real, straightforward input on tile choices that actually helped the space feel larger. Pricing was transparent from the beginning, nothing crept up on us. The whole process moved fast and we always knew where things stood. It feels like a completely different room now. Will be using for future projects!!

August 20, 2026My husband and I had Jeff do our tile flooring, and we’re really happy with how it turned out. He was easy to work with and kept us updated throughout the process. His prices were also very reasonable compared to other quites we got. We really appreciated how careful he was with the details, especially making sure everything was lined up properly. The floor came out really nice and made such a difference in our home. We’re very happy with the work and would definitely have Jeff do another project for us in the future.

A 5-year workmanship warranty, same-day replies and no minimum job
Two complaints come up again and again in Palm Coast community groups, calls that never get returned and small tile jobs nobody will take. We answer both, and we put five years behind the work.
5-year workmanship warranty
Every tile job we install carries a 5-year warranty on our workmanship. If something fails because of how we installed it, we come back and fix it. No charge.
Same-day replies
Call or send the form and we get back to you the same day. You'll talk to the owner, the person who prices the job and sees it through.
No minimum job size
A few cracked tiles, one hollow spot or a single shower wall is a real job to us. No minimum.
Palm Coast homes and the tile problems that come with them
Half of Palm Coast's housing units were built in 2003 or later (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020 to 2024). That puts the tile in about half of Palm Coast homes at 20 years old or more, and age, humidity and storms explain most of the repairs people call about. Most of it is fixable.
Caught early, most of these are a repair, not a new floor. Don't wait on it.

Repair, regrout or replace, which one your tile needs
Not every tile problem means a new floor. The signs below point to the right fix, and we confirm it at the estimate by tapping the tile and checking the grout and the surface underneath.
Regrout and seal
The grout is dark, cracked or missing in spots, but every tile sounds solid when you tap it. We grind out the old grout, regrout and seal, which costs far less than new tile.
Spot repair
A few tiles are cracked or sound hollow, and the rest of the floor is sound. We cut out those tiles and set new ones, using spares you kept or the closest match still made.
Replace
Hollow tile keeps spreading, water has got behind the shower walls, or the floor under the tile has moved. Patching won't hold. The old tile comes out and we start again from a flat, dry surface.
