Professional Tile Installation in Batesville, MS
Serving Batesville and Panola County with precision tile work — kitchens, bathrooms, showers, floors, and custom backsplashes done right the first time.
Custom Tile Solutions for Batesville Homeowners
TAV Construction brings trade-grade tile expertise to every Batesville home project. From sprawling kitchen floors to intricate shower surrounds, our installers combine technical skill with an eye for pattern and proportion — so the finished surface looks deliberate and holds up for decades.
Large-Format Porcelain Floors
12×24 and 24×24 porcelain slabs require precision leveling — even a fraction of an inch of deflection causes lippage that catches light and trips feet. We use self-leveling underlayment and back-buttering on every tile so the finished plane is flat and the grout joints stay consistent across the entire room.
- ✓ Precision installation of large-format porcelain tiles (12×24 and larger)
- ✓ Lippage-free results using calibrated leveling clips and spacers
- ✓ Substrate preparation including cement board and self-leveling compounds
Custom Backsplash & Pattern Work
Herringbone, stacked bond, and offset brick patterns each demand different layout math and cut sequencing. Our team dry-lays every pattern before mixing mortar, so the final reveal is centered, the cuts are balanced, and the grout joints line up wherever two surfaces meet — countertop edge, cabinet rail, or window sill.
- ✓ Herringbone and subway tile backsplash installation
- ✓ Mosaic accent strips and decorative inlay work
- ✓ Old tile removal and professional debris haul-away
Shower Pans & Surrounds
A tiled shower is only as good as the waterproofing behind it. Every TAV shower project starts with a fully cured vapor barrier — RedGard or Schluter Kerdi membrane — before a single tile goes up. We slope the pan to drain, pack the corners with pre-formed foam pieces, and use non-sag mortar on vertical surfaces so tiles don't slip mid-cure.
- ✓ Shower pan construction and tiled basin installation
- ✓ Full waterproof membrane behind all wet-area tile
- ✓ Linear drain and curbless shower configurations available
Grout, Sealing & Finishing
The grout joint is the finish line. We match grout color to your tile selection, pack joints tight to minimize void pockets, and offer epoxy grout upgrades in kitchen areas where staining is a daily concern. All natural-stone installations receive an impregnating sealer before the job is considered complete.
- ✓ Epoxy grout upgrades for stain-proof kitchen backsplashes
- ✓ Stone sealing and grout color consultation included
- ✓ Regrouting and grout restoration for existing showers
Precision Tile for Every Room
Tile isn't limited to showers and kitchens. Batesville homeowners are putting it in mudrooms, laundry rooms, home offices, and covered patios — anywhere durability and easy cleaning matter. TAV Construction scopes every room individually so the right product, substrate, and setting method land in the right place.
Slip-Resistant Entry Flooring
High-traffic entryways need tile with a coefficient of friction above 0.6 — especially in Mississippi where mud, rain, and tracked grass are facts of life. We recommend matte porcelain or textured stone-look tiles and can add anti-slip strips at thresholds for added safety.
Waterproof Utility Flooring
Washing machine vibration and occasional overflow make laundry rooms one of the harshest environments in a home. We use a full-coverage mortar bed and uncoupling membrane to isolate the tile layer from structural movement, keeping grout joints crack-free for years.
Frost-Rated Exterior Tile
Mississippi winters are mild but not freeze-proof. Exterior tile must be frost-rated (PEI IV or higher), set in modified thinset that resists moisture migration, and sloped away from the structure at a minimum 1/8-inch-per-foot grade so standing water never undermines the bond.
Radiant-Ready Bathroom Tile
Planning to add in-floor heat? We rough-in electric mat systems before setting the tile and use a heat-compatible thinset that stays flexible through thousands of thermal cycles. The result: warm floors in January with no visible wiring or cold spots.
High-Durability Kitchen Surfaces
Kitchen tile lives under dropped pots, rolling carts, and daily foot traffic. We spec glazed porcelain at PEI III or higher for floors and use non-sanded grout at joints under 1/8 inch to prevent grout powder from contaminating food prep areas.
Heat-Resistant Tile Surrounds
Fireplace surrounds require a heat-rated setting mortar and tile without organic binders that off-gas when hot. We handle the full scope — demo of existing surround, backer installation, tile layout, and hearth extension — as a single coordinated scope.
How a TAV Tile Project Works
Site Measure
We measure every surface, check substrate flatness, and confirm moisture levels before ordering material.
Layout & Selection
We dry-lay your pattern and walk you through the layout so you approve the final look before any adhesive is mixed.
Installation
Substrate prep, waterproofing, setting, and grouting completed in sequence with full cure time between stages.
Seal & Inspect
Final sealing, cleanup, and a joint walkthrough so you confirm every grout joint and edge detail before we leave.
Why Batesville Homeowners Choose TAV Construction
TAV Construction has been setting tile across Panola County for years, building a reputation on one principle: the substrate prep is just as important as the tile itself. Any installer can set a tile. We build the floor or wall underneath it so the tile never cracks, never lipps, and never lets water through.
We're a local crew — not a franchise or a subcontracted team from Memphis. When you call 600-675-2519, you reach the people who will actually show up and do the work. We pull our own permits when required, haul our own debris, and don't move to the next job until you've signed off on this one.
