Serving Longview with tile installation, waterproofing, and repair work that is held to the same standard regardless of how far the drive is from Battle Ground. Longview is one of the larger cities in the service area, and the housing stock here reflects that — a wide range of home ages, construction styles, and tile conditions that each require an honest assessment before any work plan is put together. Older Longview homes frequently have tile systems that were installed decades ago without proper waterproofing underneath, and the moisture that has been sitting behind those walls has often done damage that does not reveal itself until the tear-out begins. Bill Finney Tile has been diagnosing and correcting exactly these kinds of situations for over 45 years — identifying what is actually wrong, communicating that clearly to the homeowner, and building the repair or reinstall correctly from the substrate out. If you are in Longview and need tile work done by a contractor who handles the full scope personally, call (855) 922-2636 and talk directly with Bill.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
