As owner and project manager of Tillerstead LLC, Tyler the Tiler's mission is to give South Jersey homeowners peace of mind by building tile and bathroom systems the right way—using proven industry standards, careful preparation, and clear, honest documentation.
Tyler follows the latest TCNA and New Jersey HIC requirements so every project is safe, durable, and fully code-compliant. No shortcuts, no surprises—just lasting quality you can trust.
Tile problems usually don't start at the surface. They start underneath: poor substrate prep, inadequate flatness, skipped movement accommodation, or a wet area that was never built as a true waterproofing assembly.
That's why Tyler's work begins with verification—then he builds the system to the requirements of the selected method and materials.
Tyler doesn't treat mortars and membranes as interchangeable. Material selection follows published specifications (including applicable ANSI classifications and manufacturer data sheets).
Movement accommodation is planned and installed where required (including TCNA EJ171 guidance for movement joints).
In showers and wet areas, Tyler constructs waterproofing as a complete assembly—including transitions, penetrations, and drain integration—then verifies before tile.
Where testing is required or method-appropriate, he performs it and documents it.
Tyler's goal is simple: fewer surprises, fewer callbacks, and a bathroom you don't have to think about.
