Who is a good tile contractor in Jacksonville, FL?
Sand & Stone Tile is a tile contractor serving Jacksonville, FL and Duval County. We install tile showers, floors and backsplashes, do tub-to-shower conversions, and handle tile repair, regrouting and bathroom remodels from Riverside and San Marco to Mandarin, Southside and the Beaches. Free estimates: (772) 353-9986.
Jacksonville is really a dozen different housing markets stacked together. A 1920s bungalow in Riverside or Springfield has plank subfloors and settled framing. A San Marco or Avondale home may have already been remodeled twice. Mandarin and Julington Creek are slab-on-grade. Newer Southside, Nocatee and Intracoastal West construction has flat slabs and builder-grade tile owners want upgraded.
The right tile approach is different in each of those. We assess the house rather than applying one method to every job.

Serving all of Duval CountyWhy Jacksonville Homeowners Hire Us
Jacksonville has no shortage of people who will lay tile. Far fewer will tell you that your substrate needs work before they do — which is exactly why so many of our calls are to fix somebody else's finished job.
-
Licensed and insured We carry current licensing and liability insurance, and we will provide proof on request. Ask any Jacksonville contractor for the same before you let them start demo.
-
We diagnose before we quote Hollow floors, cracked grout lines and failing showers are symptoms. We find the cause first so the repair actually lasts.
-
Flat substrate, every time Large-format tile is unforgiving of an uneven slab. We grind, patch and level rather than trying to bury the problem in mortar.
-
Real shower waterproofing Membrane and flood test on every wet area. It is the single most skipped step in this market and the most expensive one to redo.
-
Written scope, no surprise change orders Demo, prep, materials and trim are itemized before we start. You know what you are paying for.
-
We show up and we finish Same crew start to finish, clear communication about schedule, and a final walk-through before we call it done.

Tile Questions from Jacksonville Homeowners
Cost, timelines, older homes, new builds and what actually goes wrong.
How much does tile installation cost in Jacksonville, FL?
Most Jacksonville tile installation falls between $8 and $25 per square foot installed. What moves you within that range is the tile itself, the amount of substrate prep required and layout complexity. A straight-lay porcelain floor over a flat Mandarin slab is at the low end; a herringbone marble shower with a curbless entry in a Riverside bungalow is at the top. Call (772) 353-9986 for a free written estimate.
What parts of Jacksonville do you serve?
All of it, plus the surrounding areas. We regularly work in Riverside, Avondale, Murray Hill, San Marco, Springfield, Mandarin, Julington Creek, Southside, Baymeadows, Deerwood, Arlington, Intracoastal West, the Northside, Oceanway, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra and Nocatee — and we come down from Nassau County regularly, so the Northside and the Beaches are easy for us.
Why does my tile floor sound hollow in places?
Hollow spots mean the tile is not fully bonded to the substrate underneath — usually from insufficient mortar coverage, a dirty or unprimed slab, or setting over a surface that was never flat. Hollow tile eventually cracks because there is nothing supporting it when weight lands. Sometimes individual tiles can be replaced; when it is widespread it means the original installation skipped the prep, and we will tell you honestly which situation you are in.
Can you convert a bathtub to a walk-in shower?
Yes, and it is one of our most common Jacksonville jobs — especially in homes built between the 1970s and 1990s where a second tub goes unused for years. We remove the tub and surround, rebuild and waterproof the wet area, and install a custom tile shower with a low-threshold or curbless entry. If accessibility is part of the reason, we add grab bar blocking while the wall is open, which is far cheaper than retrofitting later.
Do you work on older homes in Riverside and Springfield?
Yes. Historic-district homes usually have plank subfloors, settled framing and layers of previous flooring. That changes the approach — often an uncoupling membrane rather than direct thinset, and sometimes subfloor replacement before any tile goes down. We check all of that during the estimate so the number you get accounts for it.
How long does a tile shower take?
Typically five to ten working days. That includes demo, any framing or substrate repair, waterproofing plus its cure time, tile setting, grouting and sealing. Larger showers, mosaic tile and curbless entries add time. We give you a realistic schedule up front and flag which days the bathroom is completely unusable.
Do you do commercial tile work in Jacksonville?
We do light commercial — offices, salons, restaurants, retail build-outs and similar spaces. Commercial jobs usually run against an opening date, so tell us your deadline early and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable and what off-hours work it would require.

What Jacksonville Customers Say
Reviews from our customers across Google.
Sand and Stone did an amazing job on my tile shower! The craftsmanship and attention to detail were excellent — everything looks beautiful and perfectly finished. They were professional, on time, and kept everything clean throughout the project. I’m really happy with how it turned out and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality tile work.
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!
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!
About Our Tile Work in Jacksonville, Florida
Sand & Stone Tile provides tile installation, tile repair, tile remodels, tile flooring, kitchen and bathroom backsplashes, custom tile showers, tub-to-shower conversions and grout restoration throughout Jacksonville and Duval County, FL.
Jacksonville is not one housing market — it is many. The historic districts on the west side, Riverside, Avondale, Murray Hill and Springfield, are full of early-twentieth-century homes with plank subfloors, settled framing and decades of accumulated repairs. San Marco and Ortega hold a mix of original and heavily renovated properties. Mandarin, Arlington and the Southside are largely slab-on-grade, built across several decades with widely varying quality. Newer construction in Nocatee, Intracoastal West and the outer Southside offers flat slabs but usually builder-grade tile that owners want upgraded within a few years of moving in.
Each of those calls for a different method. An uncoupling membrane that is the correct answer over a Riverside plank subfloor is unnecessary expense over a sound Mandarin slab. Large-format porcelain that looks flawless on a properly ground and leveled floor will show lippage on every joint if the prep was skipped. We assess the house in front of us, explain what it needs and price that work openly rather than absorbing it into a vague number and discovering it later as a change order.
