West Yarmouth · Cape Cod
Tile of America takes on kitchen remodeling across Cape Cod, covering cabinet refacing and installation, countertops, kitchen islands, and porcelain tile kitchen floors.
Clean layouts, precise transitions, backsplash installation, floor tile, and careful preparation for Cape Cod homes.
Kitchen tile remodeling in West Yarmouth covers more ground than most homeowners expect. The condition of the subfloor, the substrate, and the materials beneath the existing finish determine whether the new installation holds or fails.
Older framing may not meet current stiffness requirements. Coastal moisture, sandy soil, vented crawlspaces, salt air, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles can compound movement at grout lines and setting beds.
Pre-1980 homes may also contain older flooring materials that should be assessed before removal. Tile of America reviews these conditions on site before preparing the estimate.
Services include kitchen tile, backsplash, floor tile, and tile removal from the West Yarmouth base.
Each service begins with an on-site review of the existing surface and the preparation the finished tile will require.
Full Remodel
Cabinets, counters, backsplash and floor as one job, with one contractor through it. The scope and the number are in writing before anything is opened up.
Small Kitchen
A galley or a cottage kitchen has less room for error in the layout and more cutting per square foot. Measured and set out before any material is ordered.
Refacing
New doors, drawer fronts and veneer over sound existing boxes. Far less disruption than a replacement, and the right call when the carcasses are solid.
Countertops
Quartz, granite and porcelain slab templated on site and fitted to the cabinets that are actually there, with the old tops removed as part of the job.
Kitchen Floors
Large-format porcelain needs a floor flat within a tight tolerance or the tile edges lip. The substrate is corrected to that tolerance before the first row.
Cabinets
New boxes hung off a level rail, scribed to walls that are never quite straight, and set so the doors line up before the counters are templated.
Islands
An island has to be fixed to the floor, levelled across its whole run and planned around the services feeding it, before any stone goes on top.
The right choice depends on which surface is failing, the condition of the substrate, and how the kitchen is used.
| Material | Best for | What to know | Typical range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quartz | Kitchens that get used hard | Engineered, no sealing, consistent slab to slab. Heat from a pan straight off the burner can mark it. | $55 to $120 per sq ft installed |
| Granite | Homeowners who want natural stone that holds up | Every slab is different, so you pick the actual slab. Needs sealing. Handles heat better than anything else here. | $45 to $120 per sq ft installed |
| Marble | Baths, and kitchens where you accept a patina | Soft and porous. It will etch from lemon and wine. We tell you what it looks like in five years before you choose it. | $60 to $150 per sq ft installed |
| Porcelain Slab | Waterfall islands and full-height backsplash in one material | Extremely hard and very thin. Difficult to cut and unforgiving to set, which is why fewer contractors offer it. | $55 to $125 per sq ft installed |
Preparation is where most installations succeed or fail, and most of that work becomes invisible after the tile is installed.
Tile of America works from West Yarmouth across the full arm of Cape Cod and selected communities toward Plymouth. Call (774) 368-6838 to confirm scheduling for your address.
We discuss the home's age, existing materials, moisture history, and what the project needs to change.
An in-person review checks level, deflection, substrate condition, removal concerns, and required preparation. The estimate is free.
Preparation comes first, followed by setting with levelers, appropriate cure time, grout, caulk, and finished transitions.
The finished installation is reviewed for lippage, hollow tile, grout consistency, caulk, and transition details.
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. Covered problems within the first year are repaired at no charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about kitchen tile installation, backsplashes, flooring, preparation, warranties, and service coverage throughout Cape Cod.
Tile of America installs kitchen tile, backsplash, and floor tile, and also handles tile removal when an existing surface needs to come out before new work begins. Every installation uses tile levelers so the finished surface sits flat with no lippage. Contact Tile of America for a free estimate on your kitchen project.
Salt air on Cape Cod is relentless, infiltrating seams and accelerating deterioration in any gap a contractor leaves behind. Cape Cod also averages around 50 inches of annual precipitation, and freeze-thaw cycles run from November through April. Tile of America accounts for those conditions when evaluating substrates and sealing connections, because moisture that enters before the first tile is set is what ends most tile jobs early.
Many homes in West Yarmouth were built between 1940 and 1999, and subfloors in that housing stock regularly show levelness problems and framing bellies that standard bids ignore. Tile of America inspects the structure before quoting, checks whether the floor is out of level, and determines what self-leveling the subfloor actually needs so the finished tile lands flush with adjacent flooring.
Backsplash and floor tile involve different substrate demands, but the failure points are similar: inadequate surface prep and skipped waterproofing at wet walls. Tile of America evaluates the wall surface and the area around the sink before setting any tile, because a backsplash installed over a deteriorating substrate will separate from the wall regardless of the tile or adhesive chosen.
Tile of America serves kitchen tile projects throughout Cape Cod, including Yarmouth, Hyannis, Dennis, Brewster, Harwich, Chatham, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, Provincetown, Falmouth, Mashpee, Bourne, Sandwich, and Sagamore, operating out of West Yarmouth.

Clearing the kitchen of small appliances, rugs, and items stored under the sink gives the installer immediate access to the walls and floor. Tile of America also checks the subfloor structure before the project begins, so knowing the age of the home and whether any prior water damage has occurred near the work area helps the assessment go faster.
Tile of America's one-year written warranty covers every installation, including kitchen backsplash and floor tile. It covers water leaks in wet areas, tile that comes loose or sounds hollow, and grout that cracks or separates. The warranty does not cover grout discoloration from cleaning products, chips or cracks from impact, or damage caused by structural movement. It is provided in writing before work begins.
If you are still working out the scope, materials, price, or what the floor needs first, that is the right time to reach out. Tile of America reviews the project in person and provides a free estimate based on the actual work.
