Columbus is the heart of Muscogee County, and its homes run the full range - from the older bungalows and mid-century houses around Midtown and Lakebottom to newer builds out toward North Columbus. A lot of these places have been standing for decades, which is exactly when you start seeing settled doors that won’t latch, hairline cracks in the drywall, tired trim, and floors that have taken on a little character. That kind of wear is normal in an established city like this - it just needs someone who knows how to fix it right the first time. JAPARCO has been doing that work here since 2010.
Tile is only as good as what’s under it. A floor set over a bouncy or uneven subfloor cracks along the grout lines within a year, and a shower tiled without waterproofing rots the wall behind it while everything looks fine on the surface. We start with the prep - checking the subfloor, setting backer board, leveling where it’s needed, and waterproofing wet areas - before a single tile goes down. In Columbus bathrooms and kitchens, that prep is the difference between a job that lasts and one you’re redoing in two years.
We install floor tile, kitchen and bathroom backsplashes, shower surrounds, tub walls, and entryways in ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone. Tiles are laid out dry first so the cuts land in the right places and the pattern stays centered, then set level with even spacing. Grout lines are kept straight and consistent, and we seal the grout so it resists staining and moisture. Cuts around outlets, fixtures, and corners are done clean, not fudged with caulk. Whether it’s a single backsplash, a full bathroom, or replacing cracked tile in a rental, we give you a free estimate based on the square footage and prep involved, and we protect the surrounding floors and fixtures while we work. Honest measurements, straight lines, and no shortcuts behind the tile where you can’t see them.
