TileMasters provides tile installation and tile repair in Highland Park, IL, a lakefront city with a noticeably wider range of housing than most of the North Shore.
The older homes along the east side near the lake are substantial and sit on large lots. Closer to the business districts, including the small and well-designed Ravinia district, the houses are smaller and tighter together. Highland Park also has more architectural variety than its neighbours, with everything from Colonial through to genuine International Style homes, and a fair amount of townhouse and apartment development added in later decades. Recent jobs are in our project gallery.
That variety means we quote each job on what is actually there. A lakefront house with multiple original bathrooms is a completely different proposition to a compact Ravinia-area home or a townhouse where association rules apply, and pretending otherwise is how estimates go wrong. We work across Northbrook and Glenview on the same routes. Get in touch for a free estimate.

Learn MoreHow the work changes between lakefront homes and Ravinia-area properties.
The older east-side houses often have several original bathrooms, each updated at a different point. We walk all of them and price them individually, because treating them as one uniform job leads to surprises halfway through.
Homes around the Ravinia district are smaller and closer together, which makes scale and layout matter more. In a compact bathroom the difference between feeling cramped and feeling finished is usually tile size and grout colour.
The later development here brought townhouses and apartments, and those come with association rules, shared walls, and units below. Waterproofing and scheduling both get handled differently in that context.
Every job priced on what is actually there. Our reviews back that up.
Multiple bathrooms get walked and quoted individually, not averaged.
Insurance certificates, elevator scheduling, and quiet hours all handled.

Common questions from Highland Park homeowners before starting a project.
Yes, and they are genuinely different jobs. A lakefront house means multiple bathrooms priced individually. A condo means association rules, elevator scheduling, and a certificate of insurance before we start. We handle both.
Those interiors are unforgiving of visual clutter, so tile choice tends toward large format, quiet tone, and minimal grout lines. Layout has to respect existing sightlines. We dry lay and check it against the room before setting anything.
Yes, and it is common in the larger houses here. We usually sequence them so you are never without a working bathroom, and give you a written schedule showing which room is out of use when.
Always, on request. Most Highland Park associations ask for one naming the building before work starts, and we have it ready rather than scrambling for it on day one.
