From kitchen backsplashes to fireplace surrounds and feature walls, we set tile with straight lines, even joints and careful prep that holds up for years.
TILE INSTALLATION
What Does Tile Installation With Perez Constructions Include?
Tile installation with Perez Constructions includes surface preparation, layout planning, cutting, setting and grouting tile on walls, kitchen backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, accent walls and other interior surfaces. We handle the full job from the first measurement to the final wipe-down, so you get a finished surface with straight lines, consistent joints and clean edges.
Based in Hudson, Indiana, we work with homeowners and businesses throughout Greater Fort Wayne, Indiana and the surrounding Northeast Indiana communities. Every tile project starts with an honest look at the wall or surface behind it, because a flat, sound substrate is what keeps tile from cracking or loosening later. We help you think through tile size, pattern and grout color, plan where cuts will land so they look intentional, and protect the rest of your home while we work. When the job is done, we walk the space with you and make sure every detail meets the standard we set for our own homes.

WHAT WE HANDLE
Tile Work That Finishes a Room the Right Way
Tile is one of the most visible finishes in a home, and small mistakes show. Uneven edges, crooked lines and thin slivers at a corner are hard to ignore once the grout is set. Our approach is to slow down at the planning stage, confirm the surface is ready, and dry-lay key rows before we commit. We work with ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, glass and mosaic tile, and we match the setting materials to the tile and the location. The result is wall tile that looks deliberate, cleans easily and stays put.
Kitchen Backsplashes
We install backsplash tile around counters, windows, outlets and range hoods, planning the layout so cuts are balanced at both ends and edges finish cleanly against cabinets and countertops.
Fireplace Surrounds
We tile fireplace faces and hearths with materials suited to the setting, building a flat, stable base first so stone, porcelain or large-format tile sits evenly and frames the room well.
Accent and Feature Walls
A tiled feature wall adds texture and interest to an entry, dining room or bar area. We help you choose a pattern and set it with level, consistent joints from floor to ceiling.
Laundry and Mudroom Walls
Tile wainscot and wall panels hold up to moisture, scuffs and daily use in laundry rooms and mudrooms. We finish top edges with trim or bullnose for a clean, durable look.
Surface Preparation
Before any tile goes up, we check walls for flatness, damage and soft spots, then repair them or install the right backer so the finished tile stays firmly attached and free of cracks.
Grout, Trim and Sealing
We choose grout to suit the tile and the room, finish exposed edges with matching trim, caulk changes of plane properly, and seal stone or grout where the material calls for it.
How Your Tile Installation Moves From Layout to Final Grout
Every tile project follows a clear sequence so you always know what is happening in your home and why. We plan carefully at the start, protect your space during the work and finish with a walkthrough before we call the job complete.
01
Initial Consultation
We look at the space, talk through the tile you have in mind and measure the area, then explain what the wall or surface will need before tile goes up.
02
Layout & Planning
We plan joint placement, pattern direction and where cuts will land, so outlets, corners and edges look balanced rather than squeezed, and we confirm the plan with you.
03
Prep & Protection
We cover floors, counters and nearby finishes, remove fixtures where needed, and repair or prepare the substrate so it is flat, clean and ready to bond.
04
Setting the Tile
We set tile with the right mortar and trowel for its size, checking level, spacing and flatness row by row as the installation moves across the surface.
05
Grout & Finishing
Once the tile cures, we grout the joints, install edge trim, caulk where surfaces meet, and seal grout or stone where the material requires it for long-term care.
06
Final Walkthrough
We clean the work area, walk the finished tile with you, point out care tips for the grout and surface, and address any detail you want adjusted.

When you work with Perez Constructions, you get straight answers from the start. We tell you what your wall or surface needs, what the tile you picked will require, and how long the work should take.

We keep the work area tidy each day, communicate with you as the project progresses, and take responsibility for every cut and grout line. Our goal is tile you are proud to show off.

How Do You Plan a Tile Installation That Lasts?
A lasting tile job starts beneath the surface. Plan for a flat, solid substrate, the right underlayment or backer board, a tile suited to the room, and a layout worked out before cutting begins. In Northeast Indiana, where moisture and temperature swings stress materials, that preparation matters as much as the tile you choose.
Tile shows up on floors, backsplashes, shower walls, fireplace surrounds and entryways. Each surface asks something different of the material, so choosing tile and setting materials by location keeps the work looking good for years in your Greater Fort Wayne, Indiana home.
A Tile Planning Checklist
- Define the surface. Floors, walls and wet areas each need different preparation and tile ratings.
- Check the substrate. We confirm the floor or wall is flat and solid so tiles do not crack or lift.
- Select tile and grout. Pick a tile rated for the use, then a grout color that hides dirt or adds contrast.
- Lay out the pattern. Planning the layout centers the design and avoids thin slivers at walls and edges.
- Set, grout and seal. Tile is set in the right mortar, grouted cleanly and sealed where the material calls for it.
Comparing Common Tile Materials
- Porcelain. Dense and water resistant, a strong choice for floors, showers and busy areas.
- Ceramic. Lighter and easy to cut, well suited to walls and backsplashes.
- Natural stone. Unique character, though it usually needs sealing and gentler care.
- Glass and mosaic. Ideal for accents and backsplashes where detail and color matter.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to common questions we hear about wall tile, backsplashes and fireplace surrounds. If your question is not covered here, reach out through our contact form and we will be glad to talk through your project.
What types of tile can you install on walls and backsplashes?
We install ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, glass and mosaic tile, along with large-format panels and handmade-look tile. Each material has its own needs for setting mortar, cutting and grout, so we match our method to the tile you choose. If you are still deciding, we can explain how different options perform in kitchens, living spaces and other rooms.
Can you install tile over my existing backsplash or wall surface?
Sometimes. If the existing surface is flat, sound and firmly attached, tiling over it can work, but it adds thickness that can affect outlets, trim and how the edge meets your cabinets. In many cases, removing the old material gives a cleaner and more reliable result. We look at your wall first and explain which approach makes sense.
How much does tile installation cost?
Cost depends on the size of the area, the tile you choose, the pattern, the condition of the wall and how much trim or detail work is involved. A simple backsplash and a full-height stone fireplace are very different jobs. We visit, measure and look at the surface, then provide a clear written estimate so you know what to expect.
How long does a backsplash or fireplace tile project take?
Many backsplashes take a couple of days once the surface is ready, allowing time for the mortar to cure before grouting. Fireplace surrounds and larger feature walls can take longer, especially with stone or intricate patterns. We give you a realistic timeline before we start and keep you updated if anything changes along the way.
Do you help choose tile layout and grout color?
Yes. Layout and grout color have a big effect on how the finished wall looks. We can show you how a stacked, offset or herringbone pattern will read in your space and how a matching or contrasting grout changes the look. We also plan where cuts will fall so the edges appear balanced and intentional.
How do I get started on a tile installation project?
The easiest way to start is through our contact form. Tell us a little about the space, the tile you are considering and your timing, and we will arrange a time to see the project in person. From there, we talk through options, answer your questions and put together a written estimate for the work.
