Tile & Stone Works LLC · Charlotte, NC
German-trained tile installation for floors, walls, and wet areas across the greater Charlotte area.
Tile & Stone Works LLC installs tile the right way in Charlotte, NC — with proper substrate prep, dead-flat layouts, and grout lines that actually line up. Paul Hilgenstock was trained in the German tradition, where a tile job is judged by the details you only notice when they're wrong.
From kitchen and entryway floors to full bathroom remodels, every install starts with the substrate. We check for flatness, repair what needs repairing, and waterproof wet areas before a single tile goes down. That groundwork is the difference between a floor that lasts a few years and one that lasts decades.
We work with porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone, and we help you choose the right material for the room and your budget. Serving Charlotte and surrounding communities including Ballantyne, Weddington, Concord, Huntersville, and Lake Norman.

Cost depends on the size of the area, the material you choose, and how much prep the substrate needs. We give a fair, transparent quote up front with no surprises — call (704) 241-9603 for a free estimate.
Yes. We install floor tile, wall tile, shower surrounds, and backsplashes throughout Charlotte and the surrounding area, in porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone.
In most cases, yes. Installing over old tile adds height and risks a weak bond. We remove the old tile and prepare a clean, flat substrate so the new installation lasts.
Porcelain is fired at a higher temperature, making it denser and virtually non-porous — ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor use. Ceramic is slightly more porous and better suited for lower-moisture interior applications. We help you select the right tile for the room.
Glass tile is not recommended for floors. It is too slippery and brittle for foot traffic and point loads. We install glass tile on walls — shower walls, backsplashes, and feature walls — where it performs safely and beautifully.
