Built for Cape Cod Homes
Bathroom remodeling in West Yarmouth is not only a cosmetic project. An aging subfloor, daily moisture, coastal humidity, and seasonal temperature changes all affect how a finished installation performs.
Tile of America assesses movement, levelness, moisture conditions, and the existing substrate before recommending materials.
That preparation helps prevent cracked grout, hollow tile, leaks, and transitions that do not finish correctly.
Our Services
Professional tile preparation and installation for homes throughout West Yarmouth and Cape Cod.
Bathroom Tile
Floor and wall tile installed after the substrate, movement, and moisture conditions are assessed.
Shower Tile
Custom shower tile with named waterproofing materials, sealed transitions, niches, and carefully aligned finishes.
Floor Tile
Level, durable floor tile installed with movement and finish-height requirements addressed first.
Tile Removal
Controlled removal that exposes the true condition of the substrate before reconstruction begins.
Choosing the Scope
The room, structure beneath it, and expected use determine the scope. Every project receives a site visit before the estimate is finalized.
| Service | Best for | Cape Cod considerations | Pricing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bathroom tile | Primary baths, rentals, full remodels | Subfloor and moisture assessment | See estimate |
| Shower tile | Rebuilds and wet areas | Complete named waterproofing system | See estimate |
| Floor tile | Kitchens, entries, high-traffic rooms | Deflection and finish-height check | See estimate |
| Backsplash | Kitchen and bath refreshes | Surface preparation and clean transitions | See estimate |
| Tile removal | Projects with existing tile | Reveals substrate and hidden conditions | See estimate |
Every project is quoted after an on-site assessment. Contact us to schedule.
Before Hiring a Contractor
A strong proposal should explain what happens below the finished tile — not only the material that will be visible.
Material selection should follow a review of subfloor movement and levelness.
The written scope should identify the system and treatment of seams and transitions.
Permit responsibility should be resolved before work starts.
Pre-1980 flooring should be identified before removal begins.
Coastal Conditions
Cape Cod's salt air, rainfall, seasonal occupancy, and freeze-thaw cycles put added pressure on wet-area assemblies. The waterproofing system should be named—not implied—in the written scope.
Seams, penetrations, niches, and floor-to-wall transitions need a continuous installation consistent with the selected system.
These details are completed and checked before the tile conceals them.
Preparation Determines Performance
Cracked grout, loose tile, and leaks frequently begin with a substrate that moves, carries moisture, or was not properly prepared. Those conditions exist before installation starts.
A site review identifies movement, moisture, deteriorated panels, and older materials so the installation can be designed for the room that actually exists.
Our Process
Every project starts with the existing conditions. The substrate, moisture, levelness, scope, and waterproofing requirements are reviewed before the finished tile work begins.
Marco Aurélio reviews the room, substrate, moisture, levelness, and existing materials.
A written estimate explains scope, preparation, waterproofing, materials, and timeline.
Preparation comes first, followed by waterproofing, setting, grouting, and transitions.
The finished work is reviewed with you before the project is closed.
Scope Determines the Requirement
Permit requirements depend on the work involved. Replacing tile over an intact substrate may be treated differently from a project that opens walls, relocates plumbing, or changes structural components.
The Yarmouth Building Department makes the scope-specific determination. Permit responsibility is reviewed before the project is finalized so it is not discovered after installation begins.
One-Year Written Protection
The written warranty covers workmanship indicators including water leaks in wet areas, tile that comes loose or sounds hollow, and grout that cracks or separates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about waterproofing, preparation, permits, workmanship, and warranty coverage for bathroom tile projects across Cape Cod.
Tile of America installs bathroom tile, shower tile, floor tile, kitchen tile, and backsplash, and handles full tile removal when a project requires it. Every service begins with a structural assessment before a single tile is set, because subfloor condition and substrate quality determine whether the finished work holds. Contact Tile of America for a free estimate on your Cape Cod project.
Tile of America builds every shower on the Schluter Kerdi system using Kerdi-Board and GoBoard panels, which are waterproof through the board itself rather than relying on surface coatings. A liquid membrane goes underneath the Kerdi system as a second independent layer, one more than the manufacturer requires. Since opening in 2022, Tile of America has never been called back for a shower leak.
Tile of America provides a one-year written warranty on every installation, delivered in writing before work begins. It covers water leaks in showers and wet areas, tile that comes loose or goes hollow, and grout that cracks or separates. It does not cover discoloration from cleaning products, damage from structural movement, chips from impact, or normal wear on caulk and sealant lines.
Accurate pricing for a bathroom tile installation depends on what is underneath the floor, not just what is on top of it. Tile of America checks whether the floor is out of level, whether the framing has any bellies, and what self-leveling the subfloor actually needs before quoting. The finish height is also set so new tile lands flush with adjacent flooring, avoiding threshold strips the homeowner never asked for.
West Yarmouth's Yarmouth Camp Ground Historic District, a National Register area off Willow Street, is a demolition-review district rather than a full architectural-review district. Tile of America works within the district, but homeowners whose properties involve any demolition should confirm with the Yarmouth Historical Commission before work begins, since the Commission reviews and approves demolition of structures within the district's boundaries.
Many homes in West Yarmouth were built between 1940 and 1999, and structures of that age frequently have subfloor conditions, framing irregularities, or substrate materials that must be assessed before tile work begins. Tile of America inspects the structure before quoting every job precisely because aging construction on Cape Cod makes pre-installation evaluation the most important step in a lasting bathroom remodel.
Tile of America serves the full Cape Cod region from its base in West Yarmouth, including Yarmouth, Hyannis, Dennis, Harwich, Brewster, Chatham, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, Provincetown, Falmouth, Mashpee, Bourne, and Sandwich, as well as Plymouth and Sagamore to the north. Contact Tile of America to request a free estimate for your property anywhere in the service area.
Massachusetts requires a Home Improvement Contractor registration for remodeling work on residential properties. Tile of America holds MA HIC number 220711, issued to owner Marco Aurelio. Homeowners on Cape Cod can verify contractor registrations through the state before signing any contract, which is a straightforward step that protects against unregistered operators.
If you are still working out the scope, a site visit is the right place to start. Tile of America reviews the room, explains what the project needs, and provides a written estimate based on the actual conditions.
