Different tile types serve different needs. Here's a quick breakdown of what's in our Los Altos showroom.
Porcelain tile. The most durable tile on the market. Very low water absorption, which is why it works beautifully in bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor patios, and high-traffic entries. Modern porcelain can mimic wood, stone, marble, and concrete looks, so you get tile performance with almost any visual style.
Ceramic tile. A more budget-friendly cousin of porcelain. Perfect for walls, backsplashes, and lower-traffic areas. Wide range of colors, patterns, and finishes make it a go-to for decorative work.
Natural stone tile. Marble, travertine, slate, limestone, granite, and onyx. Each piece is unique. Natural stone adds a premium, timeless look but needs sealing and more maintenance than porcelain or ceramic.
Glass and mosaic tile. Popular for kitchen backsplashes, accent walls, and shower niches. Adds color and texture where you want a statement.
Large-format tile. Tiles 24 inches and larger. Create a clean, modern look with fewer grout lines. Increasingly popular in primary baths and open-concept kitchens.

Tile is only as good as the installation. Poor substrate prep, weak waterproofing, or sloppy grout work can ruin even the most expensive tile. That's why homeowners who are serious about their project come to us for the whole package.
Our dedicated tile installation team handles:
Tile installs take longer than most other flooring types because they're done right. Expect two to five days for most residential projects, longer for full bathroom remodels or complex patterns.
Most of our tile projects aren't just about swapping out a floor. They're part of a bigger remodel. When you work with PKS, you get everything under one roof:
No coordinating between a tile store, a contractor, and a designer. One team from design to demo to final grout.
Tile isn't just for floors. Here's where we install it most often in Los Altos homes.
Bathroom floors. Porcelain is the top pick here. Waterproof, beautiful, and holds up to daily wear. Pair with heated flooring for a spa-level upgrade.
Shower walls and floors. Tile is the gold standard for showers. We install subway tile, hex mosaics, large-format slabs, and custom patterns. Ask us about waterproofing and proper grout for wet areas.
Kitchen floors. Porcelain tile is durable, easy to clean, and stands up to dropped pans and spills. A great choice for busy Bay Area kitchens.
Kitchen backsplashes. Check out our walls tile collection for dedicated backsplash and wall tile options. Subway tile, glass mosaics, and patterned ceramic are popular right now.
Entryways and mudrooms. Tile laughs off wet shoes, tracked-in dirt, and rainy Bay Area weather.
Laundry rooms. Waterproof and easy to clean. Perfect for rooms that see water and heavy appliances.
Outdoor patios and pool decks. Porcelain pavers made for outdoor use bring indoor style to outdoor living areas, perfect for Los Altos homes with backyard entertaining space.
Fireplace surrounds and accent walls. Add texture and character with tile as a design feature, not just a floor.
The tile you pick matters, but so does how it's laid. Here are the patterns Bay Area homeowners ask for most.
Subway. Classic rectangular tile laid in an offset brick pattern. Timeless, clean, and works in almost any kitchen or bathroom.
Herringbone. Tiles laid in a zigzag pattern. Adds movement and modern character. Great for shower floors, entryways, and accent walls.
Chevron. Similar to herringbone but with tiles cut at angles so they meet at a clean point. More dramatic and contemporary.
Straight lay. The simplest layout. Clean grid, modern look. Perfect for large-format tile.
Diagonal. Tiles rotated 45 degrees for a diamond pattern. Makes small rooms feel larger.
Basketweave and hex. Classic mosaic patterns for bathroom floors, shower niches, and backsplashes. Adds vintage character without feeling dated.
During your design consultation, we'll show you how different patterns look in your space and recommend what works best for your style.

In our experience, tile flooring installation in Los Altos runs $7 to $15 per square foot for materials and labor. Premium natural stone, intricate patterns like herringbone, or shower wall tile can push higher. Final cost depends on tile type, pattern, subfloor prep, and waterproofing. We'll give you a clear, upfront quote after a free in-home measurement.
We carry tile from trusted manufacturers including Armstrong Flooring, Shaw, Mohawk, Classen, and Bruce Flooring, across ceramic, porcelain, and mosaic formats.

Porcelain is denser and more water-resistant, making it the top pick for bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor patios, and high-traffic areas. Ceramic is more budget-friendly and works well for walls, backsplashes, and lower-traffic rooms. For floors, most Bay Area homeowners go with porcelain.
