Call Direct 423-807-1848About
Appalachian Tile Works is a tile-focused contractor serving East Tennessee homeowners who want their shower or bathroom done correctly — not quickly. We bring deep expertise across custom tile installations, waterproofing systems, and finish work refined through years of residential remodeling.
Every project is approached with a tile-first mindset: proper substrate prep, industry-standard waterproofing, and installation techniques built to hold up for decades.
What We Do
Tile-focused residential work. Every service is executed with the same attention to substrate, waterproofing, and long-term durability.
Walk-in showers designed and tiled from scratch — including full waterproof membrane systems, custom niches, benches, and linear or curbless configurations.
Full bathroom transformations including tile floors, wall tile, shower surrounds, and finish work. Scope tailored to your project and budget.
Proper waterproofing is not optional — it's the foundation. We install industry-standard membrane systems before any tile goes on the wall.
Porcelain and ceramic floor tile installation for bathrooms, kitchens, mudrooms, and living areas. Proper subfloor prep and layout every time.
Subway tile, mosaic, stone, and large-format backsplash installations. Clean edges, aligned grout lines, and sealed finishes that hold up to daily use.
Existing shower failing? We diagnose waterproofing failures, regrouting needs, and structural issues — then rebuild it correctly from the substrate out.
Our Standard
The tile business has no shortage of people willing to take a shortcut. We're not that company. Every decision we make is oriented toward work that holds up — five years from now, fifteen years from now.
We are locally owned, tile-specialized, and committed to the kind of craftsmanship that doesn't require a callback.
"Commit your works to Adonai, and your plans will be established."
— Proverbs 16:3 TLVEvery tile shower we build starts with a proper waterproof membrane — not builder-grade shortcuts. We treat the membrane as the most important part of the job because it is. Beautiful tile on a failed substrate is just an expensive water damage problem waiting to happen.
We don't do everything. We do tile — and we do it well. Specialization means our installation techniques, material knowledge, and problem-solving are sharpened toward one craft, not diluted across a dozen trades.
No low-ball bids designed to hook you, then inflate later. You'll receive a clear, itemized estimate before any work begins. What we quote is what you pay — with documented scope to back it up.
Appalachian Tile Works is East Tennessee-based and owner-operated. When you call, you're talking to the person doing the work — not a dispatch center, not a franchise. A local operation with a local reputation to protect.
Rework is expensive — for both of us. Our commitment to substrate prep, layout planning, and correct installation technique means we rarely have to come back for the wrong reasons.
