If you’re searching for tile installation in Washington Township, Ohio, you’ve landed in the right place. We’re RA Cooks Renovations, a design-build remodeler based right here in Kettering, and we’ve been helping Miami Valley homeowners transform their spaces with beautiful, lasting tile for more than 18 years.
Washington Township is one of the fastest-growing communities in Montgomery County, and the homes here reflect that — from established ranch-styles off Feedwire Road to newer builds near Yankee Station Drive. Whether you’re refreshing a master bath, tiling a kitchen backsplash, or laying porcelain throughout a basement, we bring the same care and craftsmanship to every project.
We sell and install tile for nearly every surface in your home. Our 5,500 square foot Kettering showroom carries a wide selection of porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, and glass tile — so you can see and feel the materials before you commit. We guide you through every decision from pattern and grout color to substrate prep and waterproofing.
The tile itself is only part of the equation. Substrate preparation, waterproofing, layout planning, and grout selection all determine how your finished surface looks and performs five or ten years from now. We’ve seen plenty of DIY or low-bid tile jobs that looked fine on day one and were cracked or leaking within two years. That’s not the outcome we deliver.
Tile and bathrooms go hand in hand, and most of our Washington Township tile projects happen inside a larger bathroom remodel in Washington Township. When tile is part of a full bath renovation, we coordinate everything — layout, plumbing rough-in, niches, and trim — so nothing has to be redone later because of a sequencing mistake.
We’re NARI-certified and carry over 420 five-star reviews because we treat every bathroom like it belongs to someone we know — because in a community the size of Washington Township, it very well might.
A kitchen backsplash is one of the highest-impact, most cost-effective upgrades you can make. It protects the wall behind your range and sink while pulling together cabinetry, countertops, and appliances into a cohesive design. Visit our Kettering showroom and you’ll find display vignettes showing exactly how different tile styles play with various cabinet finishes — that visual context makes the decision so much easier.
We pair tile installation with our full kitchen remodeling services in Washington Township when clients are doing a broader update, or we handle the backsplash as a standalone project when the rest of the kitchen is in good shape.
A standard full bathroom tile project — shower walls, shower floor, and main floor — typically takes three to five days of installation time once the substrate is prepped. If we’re doing a full bathroom remodel around it, the overall timeline is longer because of demo, plumbing, and drywall work. We give you a detailed schedule before we start so you’re never guessing.
We prefer to sell the tile through our Kettering showroom because we know the material, the batch consistency, and the right setting materials to use with it. That said, we’re happy to talk through your situation. If you’ve already purchased tile, reach out and we’ll let you know how we can help.
Porcelain is denser, harder, and less porous than ceramic — making it better for wet areas, high-traffic floors, and outdoor use. Ceramic is easier to cut and generally less expensive, which makes it a solid choice for backsplashes and light-duty wall applications. We’ll help you weigh cost, durability, and look so you end up with the right material for the right spot.
Sometimes, yes — but it depends on the condition of the existing tile, the height of the finished surface, and what’s underneath. If the existing tile is loose, cracked, or laid over a problematic substrate, tiling over it just buries the problem. We inspect every surface before making a recommendation, and we’ll tell you honestly whether overlay makes sense or whether demo is the smarter long-term move.
We do. Radiant electric floor heating is a popular upgrade in Washington Township bathrooms, and we install the heating mat before the tile goes down. It’s one of those features homeowners in Ohio wish they’d added sooner. We coordinate the electrical rough-in as part of the project so everything is code-compliant and properly integrated.
