Tile Installation in Reynoldstown
From full gut renovations to targeted bathroom updates, Reynoldstown keeps us active.

The neighborhood has a mix of original mill-worker cottages from the early 1900s, renovated homes, and newer townhomes and infill builds. This variety means tile work in Reynoldstown spans a wide range: full bathroom gut-and-retile jobs in older homes, backsplash installations in updated kitchens, and large-format floor tile in newer open-plan spaces.

Reynoldstown FAQ
Do newer Reynoldstown townhomes require different tile prep than older cottages?
Yes, in a few ways. Newer townhomes are typically on concrete slab, which eliminates the backer board step for floor tile but requires checking for slab cracks and moisture vapor before tiling. Older cottages have wood-framed floors that need backer board and often have more variation in levelness. Both are manageable, but the prep differs.
Can you work around the BeltLine construction activity near Reynoldstown?
The BeltLine activity doesn't typically affect interior tile work. We do note that parking near the Reynoldstown section of the trail can be tighter than in other neighborhoods, so we plan our material drop-off and vehicle placement accordingly when we visit.
I'm doing a full kitchen renovation in Reynoldstown. Do you coordinate with other contractors?
We can work within a larger renovation timeline. Tile typically goes in after plumbing rough-in and drywall are complete, and before cabinet final trim and countertop installation. We're used to coordinating our schedule with GCs and other trades. The main thing we need is a confirmed start date and a clear surface to work on.
Are there any soil or drainage issues in Reynoldstown that affect tile work?
Reynoldstown sits in a low-lying area near the South Fork of Peachtree Creek, and some homes in the neighborhood have experienced moisture in crawl spaces or basements. If there's any moisture issue below the floor, we want to know about it before tiling. Moisture migrating up through a slab or subfloor will eventually compromise tile adhesion. We look for signs of this during the walkthrough.
