Tile Installation in Cullman & Smith Lake

Finished tile shower with freestanding tub, niche, and black fixtures in a Cullman AL bathroom

If your tile is cracked, dated, or hard to keep clean, it may be time to replace it. Tile is a strong choice for kitchens, bathrooms, showers, and entry areas, especially in busy Cullman homes and Smith Lake properties.

Hunter’s Ridge Construction is a licensed, veteran-owned general contractor based in Cullman, Alabama. We install tile in Cullman and around Smith Lake. Every project starts with an on-site walk-through and a clear written estimate.

Schedule a walk-through by calling (256) 419-2980,

or using our contact form.

We price tile after an on-site walk-through because prep, flatness, and waterproofing drive the real scope.

Tile Work We Handle

Kitchen tile

  • Floors and backsplashes
  • Transitions to hardwood, LVP, or laminate
  • Layout planning so the finished look is clean and balanced

Bathroom tile

  • Bathroom floors
  • Tub surrounds
  • Wall tile and accent areas

Shower tile (and waterproofing details)

Shower tile is not just tile. The waterproofing is what protects your home.

We plan for:

  • Proper prep and waterproofing steps
  • Clean drain and slope details
  • Long-term durability, not quick cover-ups

Entryways and mudrooms

Tile is a smart choice for:

  • Wet shoes
  • Red clay and grit
  • Lake traffic and weekend guest use

Why Tile Jobs Fail (And What We Check First)

Most tile failures happen under the surface. During the walk-through, we look for:

  • Soft subfloors and bounce (common in older homes)
  • Uneven surfaces that lead to cracked grout and tile
  • Signs of past leaks around tubs, showers, and toilets
  • Moisture issues that need repair before tile goes in

If repairs are needed, we include them clearly in the written estimate.

What Affects Tile Installation Cost

We do not quote tile work from photos alone. We price it after a walk-through so prep and waterproofing are scoped correctly.

Tile pricing depends on the scope and prep, not just tile size.

Common cost drivers:

  • Square footage and layout complexity
  • Tear-out and disposal of old tile
  • Subfloor repairs or leveling
  • Waterproofing needs (especially in showers)
  • Tile size, pattern, and edge details
  • Trim, transitions, and thresholds
  • Access issues (lake lots, slopes, long carries)

We measure and inspect first, then provide a written estimate with clear scope.

Our Tile Installation Process

1) Walk-through and measurements

We confirm the rooms, inspect the base, and talk through your goals.

2) Written estimate

Clear scope. Clear price. Clear plan.

3) Prep and repairs

We fix what needs fixing so the tile lasts.

4) Installation and finish details

We set tile cleanly and finish edges and transitions properly.

5) Final walk-through

We review the job with you and handle final details.

As a U.S. Army Infantry Veteran, I bring the same focus on planning, clear communication, and finishing the mission to every project we take on.
