Tile Installation in Denver, Set to Last.

Floors, showers, backsplashes, large-format panels, and natural stone — installed dead-level, fully waterproofed where it counts, and built to industry standard by a CTI certified tile installer serving Denver and the suburbs.

Denver's Certified Tile Installers

Anyone can stick tile to a wall. We set it right.

Tile installation in Denver is the craft Divine Design was built on. Owner Matt Taylor has been setting tile since 2004, and as a CTI certified tile installer (#2038), every floor, shower, and backsplash we install meets the published standards of the tile industry — the TCNA Handbook and ANSI specifications that separate professional work from the kind that fails in a few years.

We're family owned and operated, fully licensed, and fully insured. From a single mosaic accent to a 1,000-square-foot floor or a fully waterproofed custom shower, you get the same certified hands and the same quality-first promise: only top-quality materials, proper substrate prep, and grout lines so straight they look effortless.

Watch the Craft

What goes into a shower set the right way.

Behind a beautiful tiled shower is a precise sequence: spread the mortar, comb it out to full coverage, press each tile into the bed, and check it dead-level before the thinset grabs. Done right, it lasts decades. Here's the motion that makes it happen — tile by tile, level every time.

What We Install

Every surface, every material.

If it's tile or stone, we set it — on floors, walls, and everything in between, to the standards that keep it looking flawless for decades.

Floor Tile

Porcelain, ceramic, stone, and wood-look tile set dead-level over a properly prepped, uncoupled substrate.

Shower & Wet-Area Tile

Fully waterproofed shower walls, floors, and niches built to ANSI A118.10 — water stays where it belongs.

Backsplashes

Subway, mosaic, herringbone, and large-format backsplashes laid out to align cleanly around every outlet.

Large-Format & GPTP

GPTP-certified installation of oversized gauged porcelain panels most installers can't handle.

Natural Stone

Marble, travertine, slate, and granite tile, set and sealed with the care natural stone demands.

Fireplaces & Features

Tiled fireplace surrounds, mantels, accent walls, and custom mosaic features that make a statement.

Heated Floor Tile

Radiant heated tile floors — one of the best surfaces for warmth in a Colorado bathroom or entry.

Tile Repair & Redo

Cracked tile, failing grout, or a job gone wrong from another contractor — diagnosed and rebuilt to standard.

Built To Standard

The work happens below the surface.

A flawless tile job isn't just the tile you see — it's the prep, materials, and detailing underneath that decide whether it lasts two years or twenty.

Flat, Prepped Substrate

We flatten and correct the substrate before any tile goes down — the single biggest factor in a lippage-free, lasting floor.

Full Mortar Coverage

The right trowel, the right mortar, and back-buttering when needed — so there are no hollow spots waiting to crack.

Waterproofing & Movement Joints

ANSI-standard waterproofing in wet areas and movement joints per TCNA so Colorado's swings don't crack your tile.

Tile Installation FAQ

Common questions, answered.

Longevity comes from the layers you can't see. A flat, properly prepared substrate, correct mortar coverage behind every tile, an uncoupling membrane to absorb substrate movement, movement joints per TCNA guidance, and proper waterproofing in wet areas are what keep tile from cracking or coming loose. We build to TCNA and ANSI standards on every job.

It depends on what's there and its condition. Some surfaces can be tiled over with the right preparation, while others must be removed so the substrate can be properly prepped. We assess the existing floor and recommend the approach that gives the most reliable, longest-lasting result rather than the fastest one.

We install porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, glass, mosaic, and large-format gauged porcelain panels (GPTP) on floors, walls, showers, backsplashes, fireplaces, and feature walls. As a GPTP-certified installer, we're equipped to handle the oversized thin panels that most installers can't.

We start by flattening the substrate, then use the correct trowel and mortar for the tile size to achieve full coverage. Careful back-buttering, leveling systems where appropriate, and constant checking keep lippage — the uneven ridge between tiles — within tight tolerances. With large-format tile especially, substrate flatness is everything.

Often, yes. We can repair cracked tiles, regrout failing joints, and source matching or complementary tile when an exact match is discontinued. For repairs, we diagnose why the original failed first — because replacing tile without fixing the underlying cause only leads to it happening again.

Yes. Divine Design holds CTI (Certified Tile Installer) certification #2038 and is GPTP certified, contractor licensed, and fully insured. CTI is earned through a demanding written and hands-on exam, and very few installers carry it.
