A Tile Company, On Purpose
Plenty of contractors will tile your bathroom. For most of them it is one task among dozens, handed to whoever is free that week. For us it is the whole job. Our crew sets tile every working day: showers, tub surrounds, floors, backsplashes and the repairs that come with them.
That focus matters because tile is unforgiving. A shower built without proper waterproofing looks perfect for two years and then rots the wall. A floor laid over a flexing subfloor cracks along the same line every time. The skill is as much in what you cannot see as in what you can.
We started Nova Tiling Pros to give homeowners in Arlington and across Northern Virginia a specialist they could rely on for exactly that: tile work prepared properly, laid out carefully and finished cleanly, by people who are easy to deal with.
Behind the company is more than 10 years of hands-on experience in construction, professional tile installation and flooring. Every job comes down to the same three things: professional installation, proper preparation and workmanship that lasts. That is why our installation carries a 5-year warranty.
Why "Nova"?
Two reasons. NoVA is home: we live and work in Northern Virginia and know its houses, from pre-war colonials to high-rise condos. And a nova is a star that suddenly shines brighter, which is what a well-tiled room does for a house. Our logo is four tiles with a star where their corners meet.

How we work
The Standards We Hold Ourselves To
Six commitments that apply to every job, whether it is one cracked tile or a full primary bathroom.
Prep comes first
We check the structure, flatten the surface and choose the right underlayment before a single tile is opened. It is the least visible part of the job and the most important.
Water stays where it belongs
Showers are built as sealed systems: continuous membrane, sloped pan, sealed penetrations and a flood test you can see for yourself.
Layout is agreed, not assumed
We mark out where tile starts, where cuts fall and how niches and edges will look, and go over it with you before setting.
No surprises on the invoice
You get a written, itemized scope. If we uncover something hidden, we show you and agree the fix and the cost before continuing.
Respect for your home
Protected floors, contained dust, daily cleanup and a crew that treats your house the way they would want theirs treated.
We stand behind it
Our installation is covered by a 5-year written workmanship warranty. If something we did is not right, we come back and make it right.
