Tile installation built to survive real showers, real kitchens and real Northern California weather.
Valley Tile Pros Inc. is an owner-led tile contracting company founded by Curtis Ballard, who has worked in the tile trade since 1994. We handle the waterproofing and substrate prep most people never see — so the tile you do see holds up.
What we build
Four services, one standard of preparation
Every job starts the same way: an honest look at your substrate, your tile choice and your budget, before a single tile gets set.
Showers
Fully waterproofed shower systems built on TCNA-approved methods, so what's behind the tile lasts as long as the tile itself.

Backsplashes
Kitchen and bath backsplashes in subway, mosaic, natural stone or glass, sized and laid out to fit your space and your maintenance routine.

Tile Floors
Porcelain and natural-stone floors set on a properly prepped substrate, built to stay flat, bonded and beautiful for decades.

Exterior Tile
Patios, pool decks and outdoor living spaces tiled with materials and expansion joints suited to Northern California's seasons.

Most tile failures happen where you can't see them
Cracked grout, mildew creeping along a shower wall, a floor tile that suddenly sounds hollow — almost every one of these traces back to skipped prep work. We build every project around the parts that don't show.
TCNA-approved waterproofing
Shower pans and wet walls are built with recognized, manufacturer-warranted waterproofing methods, not shortcuts.
Substrate first, always
Level checks, absorption testing on concrete, and the right underlayment for wood subfloors — before thin-set ever gets mixed.
Owner on every job
Curtis Ballard has worked tile since 1994 and is personally involved in the projects Valley Tile Pros takes on.
