Tile Installation
Tile Installation in Myrtle Beach, SC
EH PRO installs tile for homes across Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand, from shower and floor tile to kitchen backsplashes, waterproofing and prepping surfaces properly before any tile is set.
What does tile installation from EH PRO include?
EH PRO installs tile in Myrtle Beach, from waterproofing and surface prep through setting and grouting, whether it is a shower, a floor or a kitchen backsplash. You get a written price before any work starts, and the same crew that quotes the job sees it through to the final walkthrough.
How it works
Tile installed to hold up to daily water
One Crew, Waterproofing to Grout
A tile job is only as good as what happens before the first tile is set. EH PRO handles waterproofing, prep, setting and grouting as one job, so nothing gets rushed to meet a second contractor's schedule.
What Is Behind the Tile Matters Most
A shower or wet area is only as good as the waterproofing membrane behind the tile. We install it properly before any tile goes down, which is the step that gets skipped when a job is priced too low.
Tile and Setting Materials Chosen for the Coast
Certain grout, thinset and tile choices hold up better than others to Myrtle Beach humidity and moisture cycling. We talk through material trade-offs with you during the walkthrough.
- Shower and tub surround tile
- Floor tile
- Kitchen backsplashes
- Waterproofing before tile
- Shower removal before new tile goes in
What is included
What Does Tile Installation in Myrtle Beach Include?
Tile is unforgiving of shortcuts in a way other finishes are not. Here is what that looks like on an EH PRO job in Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach and the surrounding Grand Strand.
Surface prep
Substrates are checked, repaired and leveled so tile has a stable surface to bond to.
Waterproofing
Showers, tub surrounds and other wet areas get a proper waterproofing membrane before tile goes on.
Layout planning
Tile layout is planned so cuts, patterns and transitions look intentional rather than accidental.
Setting
Tile is set with the right thinset and spacing for the material and location.
Grouting and sealing
Grout is applied and sealed to hold up to daily water exposure and cleaning.
Caulking
Transitions, corners and edges are caulked to keep water out of seams grout cannot cover.
Final walkthrough
We walk the finished tile with you before we consider the job done, not just before we send the invoice.
Plumbing and electrical
Not included. If a fixture, drain or light needs to move, a licensed plumber or electrician handles that before we start tile.
Tile Pricing
Tile Job Pricing: The Factors That Actually Matter
A backsplash and a full shower are very different jobs. Here is what actually moves the number.
Tile material
Ceramic, porcelain and natural stone all install differently and cost differently.
Square footage
More area means more material, more cuts and more labor.
Waterproofing scope
Shower and wet-area waterproofing adds a step a dry backsplash or floor does not need.
Layout complexity
Patterns, herringbone layouts and large-format tile take more time than a simple grid layout.
Substrate condition
A substrate that needs repair or leveling adds cost that installing over a sound surface does not.
Removal of existing tile
Removing old tile, especially from a shower or floor, adds labor before new tile can go in.
Is it time
How Do You Know Your Myrtle Beach Home Needs Tile Work?
Most tile jobs we take on in Myrtle Beach start with one of these.
Grout is cracked, stained or moldy
Grout that keeps darkening no matter how often you clean it usually means water is getting where it should not.
Tile is cracked, loose or hollow-sounding
Tile that sounds hollow when tapped often means it has lost its bond to the surface underneath.
You want to update a backsplash or floor
A new backsplash or floor tile can change a kitchen or bathroom without a full remodel.
A shower or tub surround needs to be replaced
Aging shower tile is often a sign the waterproofing behind it needs attention too, not just the surface.
You are renovating a kitchen or bathroom
Tile is often part of a bigger remodel and needs to be coordinated with the rest of the work.
You are prepping to sell or rent
Updated tile is one of the first things buyers and renters notice in a kitchen or bathroom.

Tile, in detail
What Do Myrtle Beach Homeowners Ask About Tile Installation?
What tile holds up best in a coastal home near Little River?
Porcelain tile generally absorbs less moisture than natural stone and holds up well to the humidity swings common near the coast, which is why it is a frequent recommendation for kitchens and bathrooms.
How is waterproofing different for a shower versus a floor?
A shower needs a continuous waterproofing membrane sealed at every seam because water sits against it directly, while a dry floor mainly needs a stable, level substrate. We treat the two differently rather than using one approach everywhere.
How long does tile installation take in Murrells Inlet or Conway?
A backsplash can often be finished in a day, while a full shower or large floor takes longer depending on layout and waterproofing needs, whether the job is in Murrells Inlet, Conway or Myrtle Beach itself. We give you a specific written timeline before work starts.
Can you install tile as part of a kitchen or bathroom remodel?
Yes. Tile is commonly scoped into kitchen and bathroom remodels and coordinated with cabinets, vanities and other finish work by the same crew.
What causes grout to crack or discolor in coastal bathrooms?
Humidity and moisture cycling are harder on grout near the coast than inland, which is why sealing and proper waterproofing matter more here, not less.
Do you install tile in condos and rental properties near Pawleys Island?
Yes. We install tile in single family homes, condos, rental properties and small businesses across Myrtle Beach, Pawleys Island and the rest of the Grand Strand.
What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain tile?
Porcelain is generally denser and less porous than ceramic, making it a common choice for floors and wet areas, while ceramic can be a reasonable choice for lower-traffic walls and backsplashes.
Can you match new tile to what is already in my home?
We will talk through tile size, color and pattern options with you during the walkthrough so new tile fits with the rest of the space.
What should I look for in a tile contractor in Myrtle Beach?
Look for a crew that waterproofs properly before setting tile, not just one that focuses on how the finished tile looks. That is how our 14 person team runs tile jobs across Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island, Conway and Little River.
How do I know if my shower tile needs to be replaced or just re-grouted?
Loose or hollow-sounding tile, or persistent leaks, usually means the tile and waterproofing need to be replaced rather than just re-grouted. We can assess which one your shower actually needs during a walkthrough.
Do you install tile in larger coastal homes in DeBordieu Colony or Grande Dunes?
Yes. Larger homes in DeBordieu Colony, Grande Dunes and similar communities often call for larger format tile, natural stone or more complex layouts, and we scope those jobs the same way we scope a single bathroom: a walkthrough, a written price and a clear timeline before anything starts.

Before you call
Tile installation questions
Do you waterproof before setting tile?+
Yes. Wet areas get a proper waterproofing membrane before any tile is set, not just a bead of caulk over the surface.
How long does tile installation take?+
It depends on the size and complexity of the job. A backsplash is faster than a full shower or large floor. We give you a specific timeline in writing before work starts.
What determines the cost of tile installation?+
Mainly the tile material, square footage, and whether waterproofing is involved. We give every job a written price after seeing it in person rather than a generic estimate.
Will you give me a price over the phone?+
No. Tile costs vary too much for a phone number to mean anything. We walk the space in person and give you a written price before any work starts, so the number you get is the number you pay.
Do you install floor tile, wall tile and backsplashes?+
Yes, we install tile in showers, floors, backsplashes and other applications.
Do you handle homes in condos and rental properties?+
Yes. We install tile in single family homes, condos, rental properties and small businesses across Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand.
What causes tile problems in coastal bathrooms?+
Humidity and moisture cycling are harder on tile and grout near the coast than inland, which is why proper waterproofing and sealing matter more here, not less.
Can you install natural stone tile?+
Natural stone can be installed depending on the application and location, and we will talk through its care and moisture considerations compared to porcelain or ceramic.
Do you regrout existing tile, or only install new tile?+
We primarily focus on new tile installation and full re-tiling; ask us about your specific situation during the walkthrough.
Is plumbing or electrical work included in a shower tile job?+
No. Plumbing and electrical relocation are not included. If a fixture, drain or light needs to move, a licensed plumber or electrician handles that before we start tile.
