Tile Design Consultation
We measure your space, discuss patterns and layouts, review tile samples, and plan the installation approach including waterproofing requirements.
Surface Preparation
Existing surfaces are prepared — old tile removed, backer board installed, waterproofing membranes applied in wet areas, and surfaces leveled.
Tile Installation
Tile is laid according to the approved layout with consistent spacing, level surfaces, and precise cuts around fixtures. Mortar is allowed to cure before grouting.
Grouting & Sealing
Grout is applied, cleaned, and sealed. Caulk joints are completed at transitions. A final inspection ensures every tile is properly set and every grout line is clean.
How much does tile installation cost in Boise?
Tile installation in Boise ranges from $10-$25 per square foot including labor and materials. Natural stone costs more ($15-$35/sq ft). Backsplash tile runs $1,500-$3,500 for a typical kitchen.
What size tile is best for bathroom floors?
We recommend large-format tiles (12x24 or larger) for bathroom floors — fewer grout lines mean less maintenance and a cleaner look. For shower floors, smaller mosaic tiles (2x2 or hexagon) provide better drainage slope and grip.
How long does tile installation take?
A bathroom floor and shower tile project takes 3-5 days. A kitchen backsplash takes 1-2 days. Larger projects (multiple rooms, complex patterns) may take 1-2 weeks. Mortar and grout cure times factor into the schedule.

Star has experienced explosive growth since 2015, with most of its housing stock built in the last 10–15 years. Subdivisions like Heron River, Star River, and Lakewood feature 2,000–3,500-square-foot homes with open floor plans, attached garages, and builder-standard finishes. Star homeowners are prime candidates for builder-grade upgrades: replacing laminate countertops with quartz, upgrading basic carpet to LVP or hardwood, adding composite decks, and finishing unfinished basements for additional living space. Star's newer construction means modern mechanicals — fewer hidden surprises during renovation.
“Our Star kitchen had the standard builder white laminate. Iron Crest upgraded to quartz counters, added a beautiful backsplash, and installed new hardware — it looks like a completely different kitchen for a fraction of a full remodel cost.”
— Ryan & Megan D., Heron River | Kitchen Remodeling
“Iron Crest finished our basement exactly how we designed it. The wet bar and home theater area are where we spend every weekend. Best investment we've made in the house.”
— Chris B., Lakewood | Basement Remodeling
