Tile Work That Elevates Your Space
At Costello Carpentry, we install bathroom floor and wall tile that looks sharp and lasts. From powder rooms to master baths, we prep substrates, waterproof wet zones, and set tile with clean, consistent lines built for daily use.
We manage layout, cuts, and transitions so patterns flow naturally and edges finish correctly. Grout lines stay straight, movement joints are placed where they belong, and every surface is sealed for long-term durability.
The result is a bathroom that feels bigger, cleans easier, and stands up to Chicago living.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical bathroom tiling job take?
Most bathrooms take 1 to 3 days depending on size, pattern complexity, and cure times. Showers take longer because we waterproof, form slopes, and let materials set.
Do you handle waterproofing for showers and wet areas?
Yes. We install membranes and backer boards to spec, seal seams and penetrations, slope pans correctly, and use silicone and movement joints where required.
Can you install large-format, herringbone, or mosaic patterns?
We set all common patterns. Layouts are planned to center lines and sight points, cuts are balanced, and edges finish with miters, bullnose, or Schluter trims.
What prep do you do before setting tile?
We flatten and secure substrates, correct out-of-plane surfaces, prime as needed, and check transitions so floors are level and walls are plumb for tight joints.
Do you install heated floors?
Yes. We set approved heating mats or cables, embed them in the underlayment, test the system, and finish with the tile and grout system matched to your use.
Will you work with tile I already purchased?
Yes. We can install owner-supplied tile if it meets spec. Share quantities, sizes, and trim pieces in advance so we can confirm coverage and finishing details.
How do you control dust and protect the home?
We use drop cloths, plastic barriers, and targeted extraction. Cutting is done with wet tools or outdoors when possible. Daily cleanup keeps the space usable.
What warranty do you provide?
Workmanship is covered for one year. Manufacturer warranties for tile, setting materials, and trims remain in place, and we document install details for future claims.
