Smart Tips for Tile Showers, Floors & Backsplashes in Northeast Ohio Homes & Businesses
Tile is one of the most versatile, durable, and eye-catching materials you can bring into a space. Whether you’re remodeling a powder room, building a custom walk-in shower, or upgrading a retail space with heavy-duty flooring — tile is the detail that makes people stop and stare.
At Mr.Countertops, we don’t just install tile — we craft it. 💪 Here’s what to know before starting your next tile upgrade in Akron, Medina, Cleveland, or beyond.
🚿 Custom Tile Showers: Built to Last, Designed to Impress
Let’s be honest — nothing beats a professionally built tile shower. From watertight prep to clean, finished edges, this is where your bathroom becomes a retreat.
✅ Cement board + waterproofing (no shortcuts here)
✅ Custom niches, accent strips & linear drains
✅ Solid surface panels + tile? Luxe, low-maintenance perfection
💬 “Prefab inserts are fine… until they aren’t. We build custom showers that actually last — and look amazing doing it.”
🧼 Tile Flooring That Holds Up — and Stays Flat
Tile is tough — if the prep is done right. We fix what DIY videos skip:
🔧 Leveling subfloors
🔧 Preventing lippage & cracks
🔧 Smart layouts + the right underlayment
🔧 Sealed grout to reduce stains & mold
🙅♂️ Cheap contractors + one bad bag of thinset = cracked tile in 6 months.
We don’t let that happen.
🏢 We also do commercial tile installs — built to handle serious foot traffic in restaurants, lobbies, and retail.
🍳 Kitchen Tile Backsplashes: A Small Space with Big Style
Your backsplash is the jewelry of your kitchen — subtle or bold, but always setting the tone. We install:
- Classic subway tile (with a twist)
- Bold mosaic designs
- Hand-cut, artisan tiles that wow
✨ Want it to run to the ceiling or wrap behind a floating shelf? Let’s go.
We work cleanly around outlets, uneven walls, or vintage cabinetry to make sure it looks seamless.
