Tile Installation

Laid level, set tight, and built to hold up — the way tile installation should always be done.

There is a reason tile work done right lasts decades and tile work done wrong starts showing problems within a year or two. The difference is almost never the tile itself — it is the preparation, the layout planning, and the discipline to do each step in the correct order before moving to the next. At Bill Finney Tile, every installation starts long before the first piece is set. The surface gets assessed, the layout gets planned, and nothing gets rushed to hit an arbitrary finish date. That approach comes from 45 years of doing this work across Battle Ground, Vancouver, and the surrounding Clark County area.

Whether you are tiling a master bathroom shower, a kitchen backsplash, a laundry room floor, or an entryway, the process is the same. Bill Finney Tile works with ceramic, porcelain, glass, and large-format tile in a range of styles and layouts — standard grid, herringbone, offset, and custom patterns. Every installation includes proper substrate assessment, correct adhesive selection for the surface and tile type, and precise cutting to keep lines straight and patterns consistent from wall to wall. This is not a crew that eyeballs a layout and hopes it works out. Everything is measured and mapped before anything is cut.

When the work is finished, you will be able to see the difference. Grout lines that are even, edges that are clean, and a surface that feels as solid as it looks. If you are in Battle Ground, Camas, Washougal, or anywhere in Southwest Washington and you want tile installation done by someone who has been doing this since before most contractors were born, call (855) 922-2636. Bill will walk through your project with you and give you a straight answer on what it involves and what it will cost.
