Expert Custom Tile Installation for Your Home
Custom tile work covers showers, floors, backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, and entryways, sized and laid out for your actual space instead of a stock pattern.
What sits under the tile decides how long it lasts, which is why we treat prep and waterproofing as the main event.
- Tiled showers with sheet or liquid membrane, sloped pans, niches, and curbless entries
- Floor tile in porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone, including large format and heated mat systems
- Kitchen and bar backsplashes with clean cuts around outlets, windows, and cabinet runs
- Patterned work such as herringbone, basketweave, mosaic bands, and accent walls
- Crack isolation membrane, uncoupling systems, and metal trim at every exposed edge

Benefits of Professional Custom Tile Installation
Tile is one of the few finishes that shows every shortcut taken underneath it. Here is what a proper install gets you that a rushed one does not.
Tile That Stays Put Through Seasonal Movement
Shasta County swings from 110 degree summer afternoons to freezing winter mornings, and slabs and framing move with that. Tile set directly on a slab with no isolation layer transfers every one of those cracks straight into your grout lines.
We use crack isolation or an uncoupling membrane where the substrate calls for it. That layer lets the concrete move without dragging the tile along with it.
Waterproofing That Actually Holds
A shower is a water containment system with tile on the outside. The membrane, the pan slope, the corners, and the niche detail are what keep water out of the framing.
We flood test pans before tile goes down. That single step catches leaks while they still cost nothing to fix.
Flat Surfaces and Consistent Grout Lines
Large format tile shows lippage badly, and most walls and floors in older Redding, CA homes are not flat enough for it out of the box. Skipping the leveling step is the fastest way to end up with edges you can feel with your foot.
We flatten the substrate first and dry lay the layout so cuts land in sensible places. Full tiles go where the eye lands, and slivers get designed out.
Finished Edges Instead of Raw Ones
Exposed tile edges are where cheap installs give themselves away. Bullnose, mitered corners, and metal trim profiles all change the finished look and the durability of the corner.
We price trim as its own line item so nothing gets improvised at the end. You see the edge detail on paper before we order material.

How Our Tile Installers Approach Your Project
Adventure Construction & Remodel uses proven methods, quality materials, and transparent communication from initial estimate to final walk-through.
Measure and Lay Out
We measure the space, calculate material with an overage for cuts and breakage, and map where the layout starts. You approve the pattern and grout color before anything is ordered.
Prep the Substrate
Old flooring comes out, the surface gets flattened, and backer board or membrane goes on. Any soft subfloor or rot we find gets repaired before tile touches it.
Set the Tile
Tile goes in with the correct mortar for the material and format, using leveling clips where needed. Cuts around outlets, drains, and corners get made on site, not guessed at.
Grout, Seal, and Clean
We grout, then caulk the change of plane joints rather than grouting corners that will crack. Natural stone and porous grout get sealed before we do a final cleanup and walkthrough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our custom tile service in Redding, CA.
How much does custom tile installation cost in Redding, CA?
Installed pricing in Redding, CA generally runs $12 to $25 per square foot for standard porcelain or ceramic floor tile, including labor, setting materials, and mid-range tile. Natural stone, glass mosaic, and detailed patterns like herringbone push that to $25 to $45 per square foot.
Tiled showers price higher because of the waterproofing, sloped pan, niches, and curb work. A full shower surround typically lands between $4,500 and $9,000 installed, and a standard kitchen backsplash runs $1,200 to $2,500.
Prep is the other variable. Removing old tile adds $2 to $4 per square foot, and floor leveling adds $1 to $2. Call Adventure Construction & Remodel and we will measure and break it out line by line.
Do I need an underlayment or membrane under my tile?
In most cases, yes. Tile set straight onto plywood or a bare slab has nothing to absorb movement, and movement is what cracks grout and tile.
Floors over wood framing get backer board or an uncoupling membrane. Slabs that already show hairline cracks get a crack isolation layer. Every wet area gets a waterproofing membrane behind and under the tile.
We tell you which one your project needs during the estimate and include it in the price rather than adding it later.
How long does a tile project take?
A kitchen backsplash is typically 2 to 3 days including grout and cleanup. A standard bathroom floor runs 3 to 4 days once prep is complete.
A full tiled shower usually takes 5 to 8 working days, since the membrane, mortar, and grout each need cure time between steps. Large floor areas over 400 square feet generally run 1 to 2 weeks.
Rushing cure times is how installs fail early, so we schedule around them instead of through them.
Can you tile over my existing tile?
Sometimes, but it is rarely the better choice. Tiling over existing tile works only if the old tile is fully bonded, flat, and the added height will not create problems at doors, thresholds, or cabinet toe kicks.
The bigger issue is that you inherit whatever is underneath. If the original install has hollow spots, a failing membrane, or a cracked slab beneath it, the new tile fails on the same schedule.
We check bond and flatness during the walkthrough and give you an honest recommendation either way.
Does grout need to be sealed, and how often?
Cement based grout should be sealed after it cures, usually 2 to 3 weeks after installation. Plan on resealing showers every 1 to 2 years and floors every 2 to 3 years.
Hard water in this area speeds up staining and mineral buildup in grout joints, especially in showers. Epoxy grout does not require sealing and holds up better against that, though it costs more to install.
We go over both options during the estimate so you can weigh the upfront cost against long term upkeep. Contact us and we will show you samples of each.
