I've been setting tile for many years now, and whether you call us a tile setter, tile layer, tile contractor, or a tile installer, we do so much more than just put down floors. Tile can transform your home. Tile is floors, tile is walls, tile is kitchens, tile is showers, tile is baths, and tile is laundry rooms. And as a tile setter, I take great pride in making sure your tile is perfect, from the selection, to the install, to the grout. Let me assist you with your building or remodeling tile needs, and I will help you transform your home into the castle you always knew it could be.

What do we do in our kitchens? We cook food and we eat food. So, our kitchens are exposed to everything from fire to water to grease to tomato sauce. Tile is solid and tile is safe. A tile backsplash doesn't absorb grease like sheetrock. A tile floor doesn't warp with water exposure like wood. Tile won't melt like vinyl or catch fire like particle board. And tile does not show fingerprints like metal. Simply put, tile is the absolute best building material to use when remodeling your kitchen. Let Creative Surfaces Tile help design or install the tile in your dream kitchen and have a kitchen that can take whatever your friends and family can throw at it and still look beautiful, including that plate of spaghetti that just hit the floor.
Safe, Clean and Beautiful, Tile is an Excellent Choice For Kitchens.
There are many reasons to choose new tile for the bathrooms in your home. Tile is, after all, one of the easiest surfaces to clean and disinfect. Tile is obviously beautiful and comes in a huge variety of colors, patterns, textures and styles. The durability of tile is unsurpassed by any other building product, especially in a bathroom, where constant exposure to water is a factor. New tile in a bathroom can add value to a home and create an air of sophistication that inferior products just can't match. More people these days are investing in their homes with bathroom upgrades that include tiled ceilings in their rain showers, wetrooms with clawfoot tubs, and handicapped equipped bathrooms with wheelchair accessible showers, shower benches, or grab bars. At Creative Surfaces Tile, we want to make sure you get the bathroom of your dreams today, and a bathroom and shower that will serve you long into the future. If you want to improve your home with a product that will be easy to clean, will look beautiful, and will last for many years to come, choose tile. And choose Creative Surfaces Tile for your bathroom remodeling project.
Beauty and Function, a Large Walk-In Shower Improves the Look of Your Home.
I'm not gonna lie and say tile is the only floor covering that can work for your home. I will tell you this though. My mom installed LVP floors in her home in 2019 and I can see the wear on them. They are fine, but they don't look new now. I tried to talk her into tile. "It will look new for 20 years" I said. As it stands, she will probably have to replace her floors in another 5 years. Meanwhile, somewhere out there is a home, built in the 60's, with a tile floor that looks brand new. Tile is the most durable choice for a surface that gets walked on all day. It is non-porous, doesn't stain, and it doesn't move, separate or warp like many snap-together floor products often do. These days, the options for different looks and styles have expanded to include tile that looks like woodgrain, marble, pebbles, bricks and more. Whatever your style, there is a durable tile that can achieve the look. However, if you have decided that a Laminate or LVP product is right for your remodeling needs, I can install it for you. At Creative Surfaces Tile, we specialize in tile and other types of hard flooring, so give me a call and we will discuss your flooring options.
Tile Floors Can Give You Virtually Any Look in a Durable, Non-Porous Material.
Have you ever noticed, a fireplace is either beautiful or it's hideous. There just doesn't seem to be any in between. If you have one of the hideous eyesores that once was a respectable fireplace, then you should strongly consider remodeling with a new custom fireplace. Think about it. What is the one room of your home that every single guest sees? I mean, some people go in your kitchen, even fewer use your bathroom. But everyone who enters your home sees your living room, where that horrible disaster of a fireplace is the main focal point. Refacing a fireplace is a fairly quick fix that can have a huge impact, even changing the whole atmosphere of your home. Available options are brick and stone faces, glass and mosaic tiles, marble, granite, metal and countless other coverings that can add a new stunning face to your home's center of attention. If you are ready to remodel or refinish your old fireplace, reach out to Creative Surfaces Tile.
There are Many Beautiful Looks Available for Your Fireplace, From Rustic to Modern.

My name is Alan Sweet, and I am the owner and operator of Creative Surfaces Tile in Washington NC. I am a native of Eastern NC and graduated from Martin Community College in 2021. My father was a construction contractor my entire life, so I spent most of my young years helping him on various building and remodeling projects. After college, it was a natural progression for me to assist my father at Creative Surfaces Tile before eventually taking over for him entirely. I've been running the tile installation business myself for several years now, and I continue to strive every day to honor the legacy of honesty and excellent craftmanship that my father always demanded.
Yep! That was pretty much my childhood. Dad Over Shoulder! That man had me working all the time. I'm sure I complained a bit as a teen, but now that I'm a businessman myself, I can appreciate the hard work ethics my father instilled in me as a kid.
For many years here in Washington, wherever you saw David, you would see me too. That's my dad, original owner and founder of Creative Surfaces Tile, David Sweet, and he is the hardest working man I have ever meet. The more people I meet in this life, the more proud I am of my old man.
My dad was a stickler about doing things right. No matter what job we were doing, he always insisted that I make everything line up perfectly, finish out the edges and clean my work area before I went home for the day. That kind of dedication sticks with you, you know.
Let's face it. Tile is just a beautiful cover over a solid wood floor. It is not unusual for a homeowner to need subfloor repair, and having a good foundation in construction and home building is a plus when it comes to setting tile. Dad's famous phrase was, "If you want your tile to last, your floors must be level"!
I'm gonna tell you a story that may sound all too familiar to you. I have an Aunt, almost 80 years old, who hired a contractor to come to her home and remodel her bathroom. The fellow came over and did a lot of tearing out and unhooking stuff. He did a pretty good amount of work, and he seemed like a real nice guy. But then this guy says he has some kind of catastrophe with a tool and needed to buy a new one to complete her job, so he asks my Aunt to go ahead and pay him for next week's work. So she gives him the money, trusting that the man will come back Monday as he promised, only ..... you know the rest. She never sees or hears from him again. And there she is, with a demolition nightmare and most of her budget gone. That kind of thing really boils my blood. My father may have instilled my work ethics, but my Mom raised me to have integrity and values. Stories like my Aunt's are what inspired me to create my INTEGRITY Guarantee. Creative Surfaces Tile will never ask you to pay upfront for work we haven't done yet. And we will never leave you hanging with half a project complete. I Guarantee it. Alan Sweet
Oh, and I'm going to help that Aunt, even though she lives pretty far. My values demand it at this point.
