Bathroom tile installation in Mequon is at the high end of our work. Mequon clients typically want natural stone, designer porcelain, or custom mosaic patterns. Most projects are tile-only — vanity and fixtures stay, but the floor and shower walls get fully replaced with premium materials. Pricing $5k-$18k. Book-matched stone slab walls or custom mosaic floors push $18k-$32k+.
We’ve installed tile in 60+ Mequon homes since 2019. Material expectations are higher than typical Milwaukee suburbs — clients accept longer lead times for proper sourcing through stone yards.
