Serving Kelso with Excellence

Straightforward Tile Work From a Contractor Who Does It Right

Serving Kelso with tile installation, waterproofing, and repair work that does not cut corners because of the distance from Battle Ground. Kelso sits just across the Cowlitz River from Longview, and the homes here share a lot of the same characteristics — a significant portion of older construction with tile systems that have been in place for decades, some of which were never waterproofed correctly to begin with. Bill Finney Tile has been working in this part of Southwest Washington long enough to know that the problems showing up on the surface of a Kelso bathroom or kitchen floor almost always trace back to something that was done wrong at the installation stage years earlier. The approach on every Kelso project is the same — assess the substrate and the existing conditions honestly, communicate what needs to happen before any tile goes in, and do the work in the correct order without substituting speed for quality. Kelso homeowners can reach Bill directly at (855) 922-2636 for a straight conversation about their tile project and what it actually involves.

Complete Tile Solutions for Your Home

Waterproofing Services

Water getting behind tile is one of the most expensive problems a homeowner can face — and most people do not find out until the damage is already done. Bill Finney Tile installs proper waterproofing membranes and systems before any tile goes down. This protects your walls, subfloor, and structure from moisture long-term. It is the step most contractors rush — we do not.

Tile Installation

Every tile installation starts with a plan. Layouts are mapped before a single cut is made, and every surface is properly prepped before the first piece is set. We work with ceramic, porcelain, glass, and large-format tile across bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, and living spaces. The result is a finished floor or wall that is level, tight, and built to last.

Tile Repair

Cracked tile, loose grout, hollow spots under the floor — these are problems that get worse if you leave them. Bill Finney Tile handles single tile replacements, grout repairs, regrouting, and loose tile reattachment. We work to match existing materials as closely as possible so the repair blends in. Most repairs can be completed in a single visit.

Tile Sealing & Cleaning

Grout is porous by nature — without sealing, it absorbs stains, moisture, and mold over time. Professional sealing done correctly adds years to the life of your tile and makes regular cleaning far easier. We also provide deep tile and grout cleaning for floors and walls that have built up years of grime. If your tile looks dull or discolored, this service alone can make a significant difference.

Tile Tear-Out & Removal

Removing old tile the wrong way damages the substrate underneath and creates more work before the new tile can go in. Bill Finney Tile removes floor and wall tile cleanly, assesses the condition of what's underneath, and leaves the surface ready for the next step. We handle all cleanup and haul-away — you do not have to deal with a pile of debris when we leave.

Bathroom Tile Installation

Bathrooms are where waterproofing and precision matter more than anywhere else. A bad bathroom tile job can leak inside the wall for months or years before you notice it. We handle shower walls, shower floors, tub surrounds, wainscoting, and full custom shower builds. Every bathroom project gets the same attention to prep and waterproofing that the install itself does.

Kitchen Tile Installation

Kitchen tile takes daily abuse — heat, grease, foot traffic, and spills. The materials and the installation both need to hold up to that. We install backsplashes, kitchen floor tile, and island surrounds with the same care we bring to any other room in the house. Grout color and pattern guidance is part of the process if you need it.

Floor Tile Installation

A flat, properly prepared subfloor is what separates a tile floor that holds up for 20 years from one that cracks and shifts in two. Bill Finney Tile does not skip subfloor prep — it is the foundation of everything that follows. We work with porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone, including large-format tile that requires even tighter tolerances on the substrate.

Marble & Stone Installation

Natural stone has to be handled carefully, cut precisely, and set with the right materials or it will crack, shift, or stain. Bill Finney Tile works with marble, travertine, slate, and other natural stone regularly. We also seal and protect stone surfaces after installation so they maintain their appearance over time. If you are investing in natural stone, proper installation is not optional.
