Professional Tile & Flooring in Dunwoody
Expert Installation Services for Dunwoody Homes & Businesses
First Choice Tile LLC works out of Marietta, GA. Dunwoody sits entirely in DeKalb County, about fourteen miles north-northeast of downtown Atlanta, and we have worked there since 2020 on full-room tile, repair of tile that was already failing, and backsplash. Dunwoody is a young city over an older suburb: it only incorporated in December 2008, but the houses long predate that, and the housing data says exactly what a tile installer should expect. The 1970s are the single biggest building decade here, about 28 percent of all housing, and the typical owner-occupied house in Dunwoody dates to around 1977. A little under half of the city's homes were built before 1980. That means most of the floors we open in Dunwoody are carrying original or first-generation flooring on plywood subfloors that have had four or five decades to move, and it is why we look for the cause of a failure before quoting the fix: cracked tile, hollow spots and failing grout usually trace back to subfloor movement, a failed bond or missing waterproofing, and a cosmetic patch over a live problem fails again. It is also why self-leveling underlayment shows up as its own line on our estimates rather than hiding inside a lump sum: the 12x24 and 24x48 tile people ask for now magnifies every high and low spot a 1970s floor has accumulated, and skipping the prep produces lippage, the raised edge that catches light across a room and cannot be fixed with grout. Just under half of Dunwoody's housing, about 49 percent, sits in multi-unit condominium and apartment buildings, largely around Perimeter Center, where the work is more often a kitchen backsplash or a single bathroom than a whole floor. We quote materials, labor and timeline separately, a 30 percent deposit holds your start date, and you get daily updates plus a final walkthrough before the last payment. We work in English, Portuguese and Spanish, we are licensed and insured, and every installation carries a 1-year workmanship warranty.

Our Services in Dunwoody
Tile Installation
The job we are called for most in Dunwoody. Ceramic runs $8-15 per square foot installed and porcelain $10-20 on our published pricing, with demolition and subfloor prep quoted as their own lines: on a 1970s floor the prep varies far more between houses than the tile does.
Tile & Grout Repair
Repair is a steady part of the work here, which is what forty-year-old floors do. Every repair estimate starts with why the failure happened (subfloor movement, a bad bond, or missing waterproofing), because a cosmetic fix over a live cause comes back.
Backsplash Installation
Work we have done in Dunwoody, and the job a condo or townhouse kitchen asks for most often. Backsplash is quick but unforgiving: outlets, window returns and the run behind the range expose any misaligned joint. Glass and mosaic are the most demanding to set, in the published $20-50 per square foot installed range.
Bathroom Renovation
A bathroom original to a 1970s Dunwoody house is well past the end of its waterproofing's service life even when the tile still looks sound. Demolition, substrate prep, membrane, then tile: the tile scope of a standard bathroom runs 3 to 5 days.
Shower Waterproofing
What is behind the tile decides how long a shower lasts. We open the assembly, fix what the decades took, and rebuild with a modern membrane system, quoted as its own line so you can see what the protection costs before the tile goes on.
Large-Format Tile
12x24 and up, sometimes 24x48. Large format magnifies every high and low spot in a floor, and a floor laid flat enough for 1970s tile is frequently not flat enough for it, which is exactly why self-leveling shows up as its own estimate line. Installed large format runs $12-25 per square foot on our published pricing.
LVP Installation
Luxury vinyl plank runs $4-9 per square foot installed and handles kids, dogs and spills better than most alternatives. It still needs a flat, sound base: plywood subfloors of this era often need refastening and leveling before the first plank goes down, which we check before quoting rather than after.
