Waterproofing matters as much as aesthetics. We install Schluter or Wedi systems before any tile goes up, so your shower walls stay sound for years.

View projectsOld Torrance Tile Installer is a small, focused crew based at 1001 W Carson St in Torrance. We work in Old Torrance, Harbor Gateway, Carson, and Lomita — neighborhoods we drive through every day. Tile installation is a trade where the details decide the outcome: how flat the substrate is, whether the layout lines are struck before the first tile goes down, how long the mortar has to cure before grouting. We take those steps seriously because the surface you see every day deserves to be set right.
Our Story
Pick your situation — we will show you the right next step.
If you have a tile selected and a clear sense of scope, the fastest path is a short call so we can ask the right questions about your space — subfloor type, current surface, linear footage of cuts, access. From there we give you a written estimate, usually within 24 hours.
Choosing tile involves more variables than most homeowners expect: porcelain versus ceramic, rectified versus pressed edges, grout joint width relative to tile size, layout pattern and how it affects waste. Send us a message describing the room and what you are drawn to — we will respond with honest guidance, no pressure.
Lippage between tiles, cracked grout joints after a few months, tiles that sound hollow when tapped — these are signs of a skipped step in the installation process. We will look at the existing work honestly and tell you what it would take to correct it, without exaggerating the scope. Some repairs are straightforward. Some require a full reset. Either way, you deserve an accurate picture.
Tile installation pricing depends heavily on tile format, substrate condition, pattern complexity, and whether demo is needed. We are transparent about what drives cost. Fill out the form with whatever information you have and we will give you a realistic range — useful for comparing bids fairly.
