the Emerald Coast's trusted tile installation team
Tile is the most permanent floor you can put in a home - and the easiest one to install badly. A great tile job depends mostly on subfloor prep, mortar coverage, and layout, and only a little on the tile itself. Coastal Carpet & Tile uses certified tile setters, large-format-rated mortars, and uncoupling membranes on every wet-area install so your tile lasts as long as the house.
We supply and install ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and mosaic tile for floors, showers, wall tile backsplashes, fireplaces, and full commercial spaces across the Emerald Coast.
Where tile is the right choice on the coast
Tile is unmatched in any room that sees water, sand, or heavy traffic - which describes most of a Destin home. Bathrooms, mudrooms, laundry rooms, entryways, sunrooms, and kitchens all benefit from a properly installed tile floor.
- Bathrooms and showers - 100% waterproof when installed with a proper membrane system
- Kitchens - heat-resistant, stain-resistant, and easy to wipe clean
- Entryways and mudrooms - handles sand, salt, and wet feet without complaint
- Heated floors - tile is the best conductor for radiant in-floor heating
- Commercial spaces - meets slip-resistance and durability codes for restaurants and retail
How we install tile that lasts
We start with a full subfloor inspection - any deflection, moisture, or unevenness gets fixed before a single tile is set. We use modified thinset mortars rated for the tile size, back-butter large-format tiles for full coverage, and use leveling clips on planks and large rectangles to eliminate lippage. Showers are built with a full waterproofing membrane, sloped pre-pitch mortar beds, and properly bonded curbs.
Every install ends with sealed grout (or epoxy grout where requested) and a final detail walk before we hand the keys back.

Tile Flooring - frequently asked questions
Most rooms take 2-3 days: day one for demo and prep, day two for setting tile, day three for grouting and sealing. Showers and large-format installs add another day or two - see our full flooring installation process for what's included.
On plywood subfloors and any heated floor, yes - it prevents cracked tile and grout from substrate movement. On concrete slabs it's optional, but we still recommend it in wet areas.
Sometimes - if the existing tile is solidly bonded, level, and the floor height won't cause door clearance issues. Otherwise we remove the old tile and start with a flat subfloor.
Standard cement grout will eventually stain if not sealed. We seal all grout on install day, and we offer epoxy grout (stain-proof, no sealing needed) as an upgrade in kitchens and showers.
