Tile installation · Yardley, PA
Yardley sits along the Delaware River in lower Bucks County, a community of colonial homes, ranches and newer construction spread across Yardley Borough and Lower Makefield Township. Many bathrooms from the 1960s through the 1990s still carry the tile that came with the house. At Atlas Design & Build, we work as a tile contractor in Yardley on standalone projects, without requiring a full renovation. We bring the same standard of planning, waterproofing and finish work to a standalone tile job as we do to any full remodel.
Not every tile job needs a demolition crew or a new floor plan. If your bathroom needs a new shower surround, your kitchen needs a backsplash or your entryway needs a floor that holds up to daily traffic, we take that on as a standalone project. We handle the substrate prep, waterproofing and layout with the same care we bring to a full remodel, scaled to the size of the job.
Our scope
Every tile project starts with a conversation about the space, the traffic it sees and the look you are after. From there we handle layout, substrate prep, waterproofing and installation, start to finish.
Full height showers, tub surrounds, niches and floor tile, waterproofed and installed to hold up under daily use.
Custom pattern layouts, mosaic and natural stone backsplashes installed cleanly around cabinets, outlets and appliances.
Porcelain, ceramic and natural stone floors set level and true, with attention to transitions and grout lines.
Tile and stone surrounds that reset the focal point of a living room or family room.
Durable floor tile for the rooms that take the most daily wear.
Marble, travertine and mosaic detail work for accent walls, floors and shower niches.
Frost rated tile and stone set for Bucks County's freeze-thaw climate.
Cracked tile, failing grout and dated patterns replaced without redoing the whole room.
Local knowledge
Many homes in Yardley Borough and Lower Makefield Township were built between the 1960s and 1990s. Tile from this era is often dated and set over substrates that need evaluation before new tile goes down. The most impactful tile projects in this area tend to involve resetting a primary bathroom shower, replacing bathroom floor tile and upgrading kitchen backsplashes that have been in place for decades.
We handle permitting in both Yardley Borough and Lower Makefield Township and factor the local timeline into every project schedule from the start. For homes in flood-zone adjacent areas near the Delaware Canal, we are familiar with the additional considerations that can affect scope and planning.
Our approach
Tile work fails when the prep underneath it is rushed. Waterproofing membranes, proper substrate and correct layout planning determine whether a shower holds up for twenty years or needs to be redone in five. We treat a standalone tile project with the same discipline as a full remodel because that is what makes the finished work last.
We are a Bucks County based team. We work in lower Bucks County regularly and understand the permitting processes, the construction character of the homes and the expectations of homeowners in this area. That local knowledge shows up in how we plan and price a project from the first conversation.

How we work
We meet at your home to walk the space, understand your goals and identify what is not working. This is where priorities are established and the direction of the project takes shape.
You receive a detailed written proposal outlining the full scope of work. We refine it together, making sure everything is clear, aligned and accounted for before moving forward.
Once scheduled, your project is managed from start to finish with consistent oversight. You have a direct point of contact and the work progresses according to a defined plan.
We walk the project together at the end, addressing any final details and ensuring everything meets the standard set at the beginning.
Questions
Yes. We work as a tile contractor on standalone projects, from a single shower surround to a full floor. You do not need to be planning a full kitchen or bathroom remodel to work with us on tile.
Cost depends on the size of the space, the material and the condition of what is underneath the existing tile or flooring. We walk the space and give you a detailed written proposal before any work begins, so you know the full scope and price before committing.
A single shower surround or backsplash typically takes one to two weeks once materials are on site. Larger floor projects or multi room jobs run longer. We build the schedule with you upfront and share it in writing.
Yes. Every wet area we tile, showers, tub surrounds and bathroom floors, gets a proper waterproofing membrane before any tile goes down. This is not an upgrade, it is part of how we build every wet space.
Get in touch
A good tile project starts with a real conversation. We walk the space, talk through what you want and tell you what it would take, whether that is one room or the whole house.
