We tile entryways, kitchens, mudrooms, and whole floors in porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone, set over an uncoupling membrane (Ditra) so the floor handles the small movements every Bellingham house makes. That matters most on hillside and lakeside lots that settle, where a slab can move enough to crack tile that was set straight to the subfloor.
When you want warm floors for a Bellingham winter, we install electric radiant heat mats under the tile. Installed pricing runs $9 to $22 per square foot for tile and labor, with stone and large custom patterns at the top of that range, and in-floor heat adds about $10 to $18 per square foot.

Frequently asked questions.
How much does tile flooring cost in Bellingham?
Tile flooring in Bellingham runs $9 to $22 per square foot installed, which covers tile and labor. Standard porcelain on a straight lay sits at the low end, and natural stone or large custom patterns sit at the top. If you want electric radiant heat under the floor, add about $10 to $18 per square foot. We quote your floor line by line.
What is uncoupling membrane and do I need it?
Uncoupling membrane (Ditra is the common one) is a layer between the subfloor and the tile that lets the floor move a little without cracking the tile or grout. On Bellingham floors, especially in the hillside and lakeside neighborhoods that settle, it is cheap insurance and we use it on every floor we set.
Can you put heated tile in an entryway or mudroom?
Yes. An electric radiant mat goes under the tile and warms the floor on a thermostat, which is a nice touch in an entry or mudroom where you track in cold and wet. It is easiest to install during a new tile floor while everything is open. We size the mat to the room and the tile.
