How We Work

Every tile project follows a clear sequence from measurement to final inspection. You always know the next step.

Inspect & Measure

We visit your home, assess walls and floors, confirm layout, and gather exact measurements for ordering material.

Prepare Surface

We remove old tile, level the substrate, and waterproof areas per Star building code standards before installation begins.

Layout & Set Tile

We apply thin-set mortar, position each tile with consistent spacing, and ensure grout lines remain straight and level.

Apply Grout & Seal

After the mortar cures, we fill joints with grout, clean excess, and apply sealer for long-term water resistance.

Final Walk-Through

We inspect every corner, check grout lines, verify tile adhesion, and answer all questions before cleanup.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Typical project timeline: Most shower tile jobs take 3–5 days. Floor tile installations depend on room size and complexity. We coordinate closely with Star contractors and inspectors to keep your timeline on track.

Why Local Expertise Matters

Star's building environment is unique. We know the codes, the inspectors, and what works in homes from master-planned neighborhoods to rural properties mixed with farmland.

Star's 2018 IRC Standards: We follow Idaho amendments to the International Residential Code. All substrate prep, waterproofing, and grout joints comply with city building department requirements. Inspections pass first time.

Star grew from under 2,000 residents in 2000 to nearly 7,000 today. Homes in Heron River, Roselands, and newer subdivisions have different tile needs and code considerations. We install tile that matches your home's age and build style—whether it's a newly constructed property or a renovation in a decades-old estate.

Snow load design matters here too. Idaho specifies 25 psf minimum roof load. Tile work on upper-floor showers and angled ceilings must account for freeze-thaw cycles. We know the details.

Most shower projects take 3–5 days, depending on size and complexity. We include substrate prep, waterproofing, tile layout, grout, and sealing. Our timeline accounts for proper cure times between steps.
