Tile Installation
Floors, walls, backsplashes, fireplaces, and large-format porcelain panels — installed dead-level with crisp, consistent grout lines.
Explore tile workDivine Design is a family-owned, CTI certified tile installation and remodeling company crafting flawless floors, showers, and backsplashes across Denver and the surrounding suburbs since 2004.
When you hand someone the keys to your home, you want a craftsman who treats it like their own. That is exactly what owner Matt Taylor has done since 2004. What began with a trowel, a level, and an obsession with perfectly straight grout lines has grown into one of the most trusted tile installation companies in the Denver metro.
Divine Design is family owned and operated, and that shows up in everything we touch. We are not a high-volume contractor rushing from job to job. We set fewer projects so we can set each one right — with proper substrate prep, true waterproofing, dead-level layouts, and the kind of attention to detail that only comes from two decades on your knees in front of a freshly mixed bucket of thinset.
Our standard is simple: quality first, every time. We use only top-quality materials paired with workmanship that earns the certifications we hold. The result is tile work that still looks flawless ten, fifteen, twenty years from now.

Plenty of people can stick tile to a wall. Far fewer can build a shower that stays bone-dry for twenty years or lay a 1,000-square-foot floor with zero lippage. Here is what sets a certified installer apart.

A small sample of tile installations and remodels across the Denver metro.
Based in Denver, Divine Design installs tile and remodels throughout the metro area and Front Range suburbs. If your town isn't listed, just ask — we likely cover it.
Tile is one of the few things in your home that should genuinely last a lifetime. Done right, a tiled floor or shower will outlive the trends, the appliances, and probably the paint colors you picked this year. Done wrong, it becomes a slow-motion disaster — cracking grout, loose tiles, hidden water damage behind the wall, and a repair bill that dwarfs what it would have cost to hire a professional in the first place. The difference between those two outcomes almost always comes down to the person holding the trowel.
When homeowners across Denver search for "tile installers near me," they are met with hundreds of options — handymen, general remodelers, big-box installers, and crews who learned on the job last summer. On the surface they all promise the same thing. But tile is unforgiving. A floor that is off by a sixteenth of an inch will telegraph that error across every grout line in the room. A shower that wasn't waterproofed to standard won't reveal its failure for two or three years, and by then the damage is behind the wall, in the subfloor, and sometimes in the ceiling below. This is exactly why CTI certification exists, and exactly why Divine Design pursued it.
CTI stands for Certified Tile Installer, a program run by the Ceramic Tile Education Foundation. Earning it is not a matter of paying a fee or sitting through a weekend seminar. Candidates must pass a comprehensive written exam covering industry standards, substrate preparation, movement joints, waterproofing, and the technical methods published by the Tile Council of North America. Then comes the hard part: a timed, hands-on installation evaluated by certified judges who measure lippage, grout joint consistency, layout accuracy, and dozens of other quality markers. Most installers in the country never attempt it. A small fraction of those who do actually pass. Divine Design holds CTI certification #2038 — a number Matt Taylor earned, not bought.
On top of the CTI, Divine Design is certified in GPTP — Gauged Porcelain Tile Panel installation. These are the dramatic, large-format porcelain slabs you've started seeing on feature walls, oversized shower surrounds, and seamless floors. They are beautiful, but they are also heavy, thin, and genuinely difficult to handle. Cutting, lifting, and setting a panel without cracking it requires specialized tools and training that the average installer simply doesn't have. When you hire a GPTP-certified installer, you're hiring someone who can actually deliver the look you saw online without turning your material budget into a pile of shattered porcelain.
Matt Taylor has been installing tile and contracting since 2004. Two decades in the same market teaches you things no certification can — like how Colorado's dry climate and dramatic temperature swings affect substrate movement, why expansion joints matter so much in a sunroom or a south-facing entryway, and how the older homes in neighborhoods like Wash Park, Congress Park, and Park Hill hide uneven, century-old subfloors that need careful correction before a single tile goes down. Newer builds out in Highlands Ranch, Parker, and Castle Rock bring their own quirks. Experience is knowing the difference before you start, not discovering it halfway through.
Because Divine Design is family owned and operated, the person who quotes your job is the person who oversees it. There is no disconnect between the salesperson and the crew, no mystery subcontractor showing up in an unmarked van. You get direct accountability from start to finish, and a name and reputation that depend on getting your project exactly right.
A tile installation is only as good as its weakest layer — and most of those layers are invisible once the job is finished. The setting mortar, the waterproofing membrane, the uncoupling layer, the grout, the sealant: cut a corner on any one of them and the whole system is compromised. That's why Divine Design installs only top-quality materials. We don't pad our margins by swapping in a cheaper membrane behind your shower wall or a bargain thinset under your floor. Quality first isn't a slogan we printed on a truck; it's the actual order of operations on every job.
That commitment runs through every service we offer. A kitchen backsplash should sit perfectly flat against the wall with grout lines that line up around outlets and corners. A bathroom floor should pitch correctly toward the drain and never trap standing water. A shower should be pressure-tested and built to keep water exactly where it belongs for the next twenty years. A fireplace surround should be a centerpiece, not an afterthought. Whether the project is a single feature wall or a full bathroom remodel, the standard does not change.
Divine Design is a licensed contractor and fully insured. That matters more than most homeowners realize. When you hire an unlicensed, uninsured installer to save a few dollars, you are quietly taking on every risk yourself — liability for injuries on your property, exposure if the work fails, and no real recourse if the job goes sideways. Hiring a licensed, insured, certified professional moves all of that risk where it belongs: onto the company doing the work. It's peace of mind that costs nothing extra and protects everything.
From our home base in Denver, we travel throughout the metro area and the surrounding Front Range suburbs. Whether you're renovating a bungalow in the city, a townhome in Lakewood, a ranch in Arvada, or a new build in Centennial or Castle Rock, the same certified crew and the same quality-first standard come with us. We've set tile in starter homes and luxury estates alike, and every client gets the same answer to the same question: it gets done right, or it doesn't get done at all.
If you've been burned by a previous contractor, or you simply want it done correctly the first time, that's exactly the kind of homeowner we built this company for. Reach out for a free estimate and let's talk about what your space could become.
