Tile in Standish, ME
Almost every tile failure in Standish is a waterproofing failure, not a tile failure — the tile and grout are just the visible layer over what was or wasn't done underneath. A shower built on cement board with no proper waterproofing will look perfect for a few years and then start showing it in the Cumberland County humidity. 207 Leads matches Standish homeowners with local tile installers.

What Standish homeowners call us for
Bathroom & shower tile
Full shower and bathroom installations, built on a properly waterproofed substrate rather than cement board alone.
Shower waterproofing & rebuilds
Tearing out and rebuilding a failing shower, including the pan — because a leaking shower is a waterproofing problem you can't fix from the outside.
Heated floors
Electric radiant mat and cable under tile, with the insulation and thermostat planning that makes it worth running.
Kitchen backsplashes & floors
Backsplashes, kitchen and entry flooring, and the layout work that decides where cut tiles land.
Natural stone
Marble, slate, travertine, and granite — including sealing, and being honest about which stones are a bad idea in a wet area.
Floor leveling & substrate prep
Preparing a floor that's out of flat. Skipping this is why tile cracks and why the field looks wavy.
Grout & crack repair
Regrouting, recaulking, and replacing failed grout — with a look at why it failed in the first place.
Mudroom & entry tile
Mudrooms and entries that take wet boots and salt all winter without the tile popping loose.

Standish questions
- How long should a tiled shower last?
- Decades, if it's waterproofed properly behind the tile, and noticeably less if it isn't. The tile isn't the waterproof layer — a bonded sheet membrane or a properly built pan is. Ask any installer what they use behind the tile and how they handle the pan and the curb; if the answer is only cement board and grout, that's not waterproofing.
- Is a heated tile floor worth it in Maine?
- In a bathroom, usually yes — it's a small area, the mat itself isn't the main cost, and a warm floor underfoot in January is a real quality-of-life difference. In a whole house it becomes a heating decision rather than a comfort one, and the insulation and controls matter more than the mat.
- Is this an emergency — what do I do?
- Call or text (207) 779-8533 and say so. Emergencies get moved to the front instead of sitting in a quote queue.
- How soon will someone reach out?
- Usually within one business day. If you're waiting longer than that, text (207) 779-8533 and we'll chase it.
- What does this cost me as a homeowner?
- Nothing. Submitting a request is free and you're under no obligation. You talk to the contractor, ask what you want, and hire them or don't.
- Who are these contractors?
- Local Maine companies that cover your town — not a national call centre. If a company does poor work, tell us and we stop sending them work. That's the only reason it's worth going through us instead of cold-calling.
