Expert Tile Installation and Repair in Gaithersburg

For tile installation and repair in Gaithersburg MD, 2020 Flooring checks what's underneath before any tile goes down, because tile is the most failure-prone flooring when prep is wrong and the most permanent when it's right. We install ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and large-format tile, and we handle both new installation and tile replacement. Most Gaithersburg tile installs run $10 to $25 per square foot installed, and repairs run $150 to $700 for a spot fix. We've set tile across Montgomery County since 1997.

Tile is the common choice for the wet and high-traffic spaces in Gaithersburg homes:

• Kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and mudrooms across the full range of Gaithersburg housing
• Older homes in Washington Grove and central Gaithersburg where the subfloor needs reinforcement to prevent cracked tile and grout failure
• Slab-on-grade townhomes along I-270 and Crown where moisture barriers and crack isolation membranes are non-negotiable
• Bathrooms throughout the city where waterproofing and working around existing plumbing come first
• Split-level and rancher floors where joist spacing and subfloor thickness determine whether tile holds

How We Set Tile That Lasts

Tile installation depends on what's underneath, so we check structural rigidity, joist spacing, and subfloor thickness before we start:

• We reinforce the subfloor in Gaithersburg's older homes when needed to prevent cracked tile and grout failure
• We add moisture barriers and crack isolation membranes for slab-on-grade townhomes
• We waterproof every wet area properly before tile goes on, especially in bathrooms
• We slope shower floors to drain correctly and use the right thinset for the right tile
• We work around existing plumbing in bathroom projects without compromising the waterproofing

Tile Materials We Install

• Porcelain tile is the workhorse for floors, showers, and high-traffic walls
• Ceramic tile suits walls and low-traffic floors at a lower price
• Natural stone including marble, travertine, and slate, sealed before and after grouting
• Large-format tile for showers and floors with minimal grout lines, which demands flat substrates

Tile Repair and Replacement Gaithersburg MD

Not every Gaithersburg tile job is new installation. We handle the repairs many crews turn down: cracked tile replacement with close color and grain matching, failing grout regrouting with full removal, loose and hollow tile re-bedding, shower pan rebuilds when the original is leaking, and caulk and transition repairs before water reaches the substrate.

Gaithersburg Tile Installation Cost Breakdown

• Tile installed, all-in: $10 to $25 per square foot, by tile and complexity
