Whether you need a simple floor tile upgrade or a complex multi-surface installation with custom patterns, JL Tile & Stone delivers work that lasts decades. We serve homeowners, contractors, and commercial clients across Monmouth and Ocean County, NJ.

Tile Installation FAQ
How long does a tile installation take?
A typical room takes 2-5 days depending on size, pattern complexity, and substrate condition. This includes prep, installation, grouting, and sealing. We provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.
What type of tile is best for bathrooms?
Porcelain tile is the gold standard for bathrooms — it's water-resistant, durable, and available in virtually any style. For shower floors, we recommend small-format tiles or mosaics for better drainage slope conformity.
Do you remove old tile before installing new tile?
Yes, we handle complete tear-out including old tile removal, thinset grinding, and substrate repair. We never tile over existing tile as it compromises long-term adhesion.
