About Our Tile Work
Adam Baker Masonry is a licensed tile contractor serving Grand Rapids and West Michigan. We install tile floors, kitchen backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, and accent walls — indoors, year-round, no weather delays. From large-format porcelain in kitchens to natural stone fireplace surrounds, every project starts with the right substrate prep, the right materials, and a layout planned before the first tile is set.
What types of tile services does Adam Baker Masonry offer?
Adam Baker Masonry installs tile floors, kitchen backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, and accent walls throughout Grand Rapids and West Michigan. We work with large-format porcelain, natural stone, subway tile, glass mosaic, and custom patterns — in kitchens, entryways, living rooms, and other interior spaces. Every project is indoors, so it can be scheduled any time of year without weather delays.
Why does substrate preparation make or break a tile installation?
The prep work underneath tile determines how long it lasts. We use self-leveling compounds for uneven subfloors, cement backer board or uncoupling membranes over wood, and heat-rated thinset for fireplace work. Skipping or shortcutting the substrate step is the most common reason tile installations crack, pop, or develop lippage within a few years — we never cut that corner.
Can tile be installed in Michigan winters?
Yes. All tile work is indoors, so Michigan winters have no effect on scheduling. Thinset mortar and grout cure reliably at normal room temperatures. You do not have to wait for spring — most tile projects can be scheduled within a few weeks throughout the year.
How long does a professional tile installation take?
Most kitchen backsplash projects take one to two days. Floor tile installations run two to four days depending on room size and subfloor prep needed. Fireplace refacing takes three to five days. Combined kitchen floor and backsplash packages run four to seven days. We provide a clear timeline with every estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tile Installation
- How do I choose a tile contractor in Grand Rapids?
- Look for a contractor who is licensed, bonded, and insured, can share examples of similar projects, handles substrate prep rather than skipping it, and provides a written estimate before starting. Ask how many tile jobs they complete each year. West Michigan has no shortage of tile setters, but experienced masonry contractors who specialize in tile are fewer.
- What types of tile are most popular for kitchen and entryway floors?
- Large-format porcelain is the most popular choice for Michigan kitchens and entryways. It handles foot traffic, spills, and seasonal dirt without scratching or staining. Marble-look porcelain is especially popular for kitchen floors and backsplashes. Wood-look porcelain works well in living areas and mudrooms. Natural stone is a strong choice for fireplace surrounds and accent walls.
- Can you do backsplash and floor tile at the same time?
- Yes — and combining them is usually the most efficient approach. We sequence the work so floors go down first, then backsplash once countertops are in place. Having one crew handle both avoids double setup and teardown, and ensures floor and backsplash are planned as a matching pair from the start.
- Does tile installation add value to a home in West Michigan?
- Yes. Kitchen tile remodels and updated fireplace surrounds consistently rank among the top interior improvements for resale appeal. A tile backsplash and floor will still look sharp years after cabinets and appliances have been replaced. In Ada, Forest Hills, and East Grand Rapids, well-installed tile is a selling point buyers notice immediately.
