Tile installation · Forks Township, PA
Forks Township is one of the fastest growing communities in the Lehigh Valley — a mix of established single-family neighborhoods, newer construction from the 1980s through the 2000s and a handful of remaining farmhouses from its earlier history as agricultural land. Homeowners here are investing in their spaces for the long term, and the tile throughout a kitchen, bathroom or floor says a lot about where that investment lands. At Atlas Design & Build, we work with homeowners across Forks Township on custom tile installation as a standalone project or as part of a larger remodel. We live just down the road in Easton and manage every project directly.
Not every tile job needs a demolition crew or a new floor plan. If your bathroom needs a new shower surround, your kitchen needs a backsplash or your entryway needs a floor that holds up to daily traffic, we take that on as a standalone project. We handle the substrate prep, waterproofing and layout with the same care we bring to a full remodel, scaled to the size of the job.
Our scope
Every tile project starts with a conversation about the space, the traffic it sees and the look you are after. From there we handle layout, substrate prep, waterproofing and installation, start to finish.
Full height showers, tub surrounds, niches and floor tile, waterproofed and installed to hold up under daily use.
Custom pattern layouts, mosaic and natural stone backsplashes installed cleanly around cabinets, outlets and appliances.
Porcelain, ceramic and natural stone floors set level and true, with attention to transitions and grout lines.
Inlays, borders, herringbone, basketweave and mosaic detail work for accent walls, floors and shower niches.
Marble, travertine and specialty materials handled with the same standard of prep and installation as any full remodel.
Durable floor tile for the rooms that take the most daily wear.
We work as a tile contractor on its own merits, not only as part of a kitchen or bathroom renovation.
The work that determines whether tile holds up for twenty years or fails in five, done right from the start.
Local context
Most homes in Forks Township were built in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s with builder-grade tile throughout — small ceramic floor tiles, basic tub surrounds, minimal grout quality. These materials have held up over time, but they show their age and rarely reflect how the homeowner actually wants the space to feel. Replacing tile in these homes is often straightforward: consistent framing, standard floor heights and no major substrate surprises in most cases.
A smaller number of older farmhouses on the township's remaining agricultural parcels may have older substrate conditions, including lath and plaster or uneven subfloors, that require more preparation before tile work begins. We are EPA Lead Safe certified for any home built before 1978. Regardless of the home's age, we assess substrate conditions before committing to an installation approach.
Our approach
We live just down the road in Easton, so Forks Township is not a new service area for us — it is part of the community we work in every day. We know what tile work looks like in homes here, what homeowners are upgrading from and what they are trying to achieve.
Most of the homeowners we work with in Forks Township are making a long-term investment in a home they plan to stay in. They want tile work that is planned with intention, installed with care and managed without the chaos that too many remodeling projects involve. That is what we build.
