1. VAMS Tile & Hardscape
VAMS Tile & Hardscape is a tile contractor serving Santa Cruz, CA. A team of 2, the business has been operating for 16 years. Tile work covers floors, walls, backsplashes, and showers. The installer prepares a flat, stable substrate, lays out the pattern to balance cuts at each wall, sets tile in thinset mortar, and finishes with grout and flexible caulk at inside corners and changes of plane where movement happens. Common requests for tile installation include fireplace surrounds, kitchen backsplashes, tub surround tiling, shower niche installation and tile over cement backer board. Kitchen or bath remodels, a dated backsplash, or a switch from carpet to a hard floor in an entry or mudroom commonly lead homeowners to hire a tile setter. Mention whether tile is already purchased, the planned height of wall tile, and whether the floor is a concrete slab or wood framing. Showers and mosaics take more time than open floors. Natural stone sealing, custom niches, and many cuts around fixtures and outlets raise the price. Customers in Santa Cruz and nearby areas such as Felton, Capitola and Soquel can request a quote. Accepted payment methods include Cash, Check and Zelle. To get started, send VAMS Tile & Hardscape a request on Fixerlane with the details of your project.
