Who is the best tile contractor in Fernandina Beach, FL?
Sand & Stone Tile is a locally owned tile contractor serving Fernandina Beach, FL 32034 and all of Nassau County. We install tile showers, floors and backsplashes, do tub-to-shower conversions, and handle tile repair and full bathroom remodels. Free written estimates. Call (772) 353-9986.
Fernandina Beach is not a one-size-fits-all tile market. A hundred-year-old house near Centre Street has plank subfloor, settled framing and sometimes three layers of old flooring hiding underneath. A newer build in Amelia Park or Marsh Lakes has a flat slab and a completely different set of considerations.
We have worked on both. That means we know when a floor needs an uncoupling membrane instead of a straight thinset bed, and when an older bathroom needs the substrate replaced rather than tiled over.

Nassau County local since day oneWhy Fernandina Beach Homeowners Choose Us
Half the tile problems we are called to fix in Fernandina Beach are not tile problems at all — they are substrate and waterproofing problems that someone tiled straight over. We start underneath.
-
Licensed and insured We carry current licensing and liability insurance, and we will provide proof on request. It matters more than most people realize on older downtown homes where surprises hide behind the walls.
-
We open it up before we quote it In older Fernandina Beach homes, what is under the tile matters more than the tile. We check subfloor, framing and existing waterproofing before we give you a number.
-
Real waterproofing, flood tested Every shower gets a proper membrane and a flood test. Salt air and coastal humidity are relentless here — shortcuts show up fast.
-
Careful in occupied homes Floor protection, dust containment and daily cleanup. Downtown houses are close together and often lived in during the work.
-
Honest about what needs replacing If a bathroom needs the substrate torn out rather than tiled over, we will say so before you spend money on tile that will fail.
-
One crew, one point of contact The people who demo your bathroom are the people who grout it. Nobody hands your job off halfway through.

Tile Questions from Fernandina Beach Homeowners
Cost, timelines, older homes and what survives coastal humidity.
How much does tile installation cost in Fernandina Beach, FL?
Expect $8 to $25 per square foot installed for most Fernandina Beach projects. Older downtown homes sometimes land higher because the substrate needs work before tile can go down — failed subfloor, uneven framing or layers of old flooring to remove. We quote that prep explicitly rather than hiding it as a change order later. Call (772) 353-9986 for a free written estimate.
Do you work on historic homes in downtown Fernandina Beach?
Yes, and it is a meaningful part of what we do. Older homes near Centre Street and in Old Town often have plank subfloors, settled framing and previous repairs of varying quality. We assess all of that before quoting, use uncoupling membranes where movement is a concern, and work carefully in occupied houses. Where a period pattern needs matching, we will source or lay tile to suit rather than defaulting to something modern.
What tile holds up best this close to the ocean?
Porcelain, without much debate. It is dense, absorbs virtually no moisture and stands up to salt air and tracked-in sand far better than most alternatives. If you want natural stone — and plenty of Fernandina Beach homeowners do — we will walk you through the sealing schedule honestly so you know what you are signing up for before it goes down.
How long will my bathroom be out of use?
For a standard tile shower, five to twelve working days depending on size, tile format and how much substrate repair is needed. Waterproofing has to cure before tile goes on and grout has to cure before the shower is used, so the timeline is not just labor days. We give you the real schedule up front and tell you which days the room is fully unusable.
Can you fix a shower that is leaking behind the wall?
Yes. Leaking shower pans and failed waterproofing are common calls in Fernandina Beach, especially in homes where a previous shower was tiled without a proper membrane. We open up enough to find the actual source, show you what we find, and rebuild it correctly. Patching a leak without addressing the waterproofing just moves the problem.
Do you handle vacation rental and second-home projects?
Yes. We understand these jobs run on a booking calendar. Tell us your window and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable — and if it is not, we will propose a schedule that is, rather than promising a date we cannot hold.
Do you also serve Amelia Island and Yulee?
We do. Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Yulee, Callahan, Hilliard and the surrounding Nassau County communities are all in our regular service area, along with Jacksonville and Kingsland, GA.

What Fernandina Beach Customers Say
Genuine Google business reviews from our customers.
Justin was prompt, professional and completed the job as promised. He re-grouted the floor of the shower stall and made sure any gaps were sealed properly. He returned my call promptly and was able to schedule the work within 3 days. While this was likely a smaller job, I would not hesitate to hire him for any tile job, small or large. Highly recommend!
I can’t recommend Sand and Stone Tile Works enough! I was on a very short deadline to get a new fiberglass shower surround installed before my new tenants moved in, and they absolutely delivered. They completed the job quickly and efficiently without cutting any corners on quality. It looks great, and their speed and professionalism saved me a huge headache. 5 stars!
Very professional job. Impressed with his knowledge of building code and the correct way of doing the job.
About Our Tile Work in Fernandina Beach, Florida
Sand & Stone Tile provides tile installation, tile repair, tile remodels, backsplashes, tile flooring, custom tile showers and tub-to-shower conversions throughout Fernandina Beach, FL 32034 and across Amelia Island.
Fernandina Beach asks more of a tile contractor than most markets. The historic district is full of houses that have been added to, re-floored and repaired repeatedly over a century, and what is hiding under the existing tile is frequently the real story of the job. On the other side of town, newer construction in Amelia Park, Marsh Lakes and along Amelia Concourse presents flat slabs and modern framing but often builder-grade tile that owners want replaced.
Coastal conditions matter too. Salt air, year-round humidity and sand tracked in from the beach are hard on grout, sealants and any shower that was not waterproofed to spec. We build wet areas with a genuine membrane and flood test them before tiling, and we are candid about the maintenance that natural stone requires in this climate.
