Tile & Stone Installation in Costa Mesa, CA
Prime Tileworks installs kitchen backsplashes, custom showers, tile and stone floors, fireplaces and outdoor pavers throughout Costa Mesa. We're based in Lake Forest — about 25 minutes on the 405 — and owner Ronald is on every job site, not a rotating crew.
Including Eastside Costa Mesa, Mesa Verde, South Coast Metro, College Park, Halecrest.
We've been installing tile and stone in Costa Mesa and across south Orange County for over 7 years. Because we're about 25 minutes on the 405, you get real scheduling — same-week walkthroughs, punch-list items handled without a trip charge, and a phone number that reaches the person who did the work.
Eastside and Mesa Verde are mostly 1950s–1960s homes with slab foundations and original mud-set tile. Expect real demo. On the upside, those slabs are usually flat enough for large-format once we grind and patch.
Recent Costa Mesa work includes mid-century bath retiles on the Eastside, kitchen backsplash and floor combos in Mesa Verde, and condo remodels near South Coast Metro. Every project gets the same standards regardless of size: correct waterproofing (Schluter Kerdi or equivalent) on wet areas, flat substrate prep before any tile goes down, mitered outside corners instead of exposed tile edges, and grout color chosen with you rather than defaulted.
We serve Eastside Costa Mesa, Mesa Verde, South Coast Metro, College Park, Halecrest and the surrounding Costa Mesa neighborhoods (92626, 92627). We can supply the tile or install tile you bought — Bedrosians in Anaheim, Arizona Tile in Tustin, or Lowe's and Home Depot locally. Every quote is free, in writing, with labor and materials listed separately.
