Custom Tiling & Backsplashes:
The Difference Between "Done" and "Stunning"
Let’s talk about tile. We’ve all seen those DIY weekend warrior videos where someone slaps up a backsplash in 30 seconds with a catchy pop song playing in the background. It looks so easy, right?
Then you try it in your own kitchen, and suddenly you have crooked lines, uneven grout, and a kitchen that looks like a funhouse mirror.
Tiling is an art form. As the “Ultimate Handyman,” I can tell you that getting a flawless finish requires patience, math, and a serious eye for detail. Fortunately for you, it’s one of my absolute favorite things to do.
Why You Want an Expert Tiler on the Job
A beautiful tile job can completely elevate a room, but a bad one will haunt you every time you walk past it. Here is what I bring to the table at West K Home Works:
Perfect Prep Work: The secret to great tile is what’s underneath it. I make sure your walls and floors are perfectly level, waterproofed, and prepped so your tiles stay put for decades.
Flawless Layouts: Nobody wants a tiny, awkward sliver of a tile in the corner of their shower. I map out the entire grid before I lay a single piece to ensure symmetry and clean lines.
Clean Cuts: I have the right tools to make those tricky cuts around outlets, plumbing fixtures, and weird angles without chipping your expensive materials.
From Backsplashes to Bathrooms
Whether we are doing a quick facelift or a full-scale renovation, tile is the ultimate finishing touch:
Kitchen Backsplashes: Want a classic white subway tile? A bold geometric pattern? A glass mosaic that catches the under-cabinet lighting? A new backsplash is the fastest way to make an old kitchen look brand new.
Custom Showers: I can build you a spa-like walk-in shower from scratch, complete with custom niches for your shampoo and pebble-stone flooring.
Floor Tiling: Mudrooms, bathrooms, and entryways. Durable, beautiful, and built to handle West K winters.
Let’s Make It Perfect
Because I handle the whole room—from the drywalling to the plumbing to the final sweep—I know exactly how your tile needs to fit into the bigger picture. You don’t have to hire a separate tile guy, a separate drywall guy, and a separate designer. You just have to call me.

Costs to renovate a BATHROOM in 2026
Here is a breakdown you can use to estimate your bathroom renovation.. I have set three levels of the style of build: lower-end basic reno, mid-range decent materials used and luxury with high-end furnishings. The numbers reflect current market rates for full-service bathroom builds, ranging from surface-level updates to complete custom overhauls.
Renovation Cost Tiers
1- The Basic Update (Lower Range: $15,000 – $22,000)
What it is: A cosmetic refresh that leaves the existing footprint exactly as is.
What’s included: Swapping out an old tub for a basic fiberglass or acrylic shower pan, installing standard off-the-shelf wall tile, and replacing the vanity, toilet, and fixtures with mid-grade options.
The focus: Updating the look quickly without touching the underlying plumbing or structural elements.
2. The Custom Gut (Mid-Range: $25,000 – $40,000)
What it is: The standard full-scale renovation. This takes the bathroom down to the studs to ensure the foundation behind the walls is completely solid.
What’s included: Complete professional waterproofing systems (like Kerdi-board), a custom tiled walk-in shower with integrated details like expanded niches for stone shelving, a new double vanity, upgraded lighting, and minor plumbing adjustments.
The focus: A highly durable, fully customized build that adds significant property value.
3. The Luxury Retreat (High-End: $45,000 – $75,000+)
What it is: A no-compromises build where the layout is often reconfigured to maximize the space and create a spa-like experience.
What’s included: Moving plumbing stacks and drains, installing heated floors, framing massive walk-in showers with frameless glass and oversized fixtures (like a 20×20-inch rain shower head), large-format premium stone tile, and custom cabinetry.
The focus: Transforming an ordinary bathroom into a high-end personal sanctuary.
