About this service
Patio tiles are flat, uniform units—often porcelain, stone, or composite—laid over an existing concrete slab or solid base to refresh the look of a deck. You need them if your current surface is stained or outdated but still structurally sound. They provide a clean, level floor for furniture. Costs shift based on the tile material, the need for a mortar bed or pedestal system, and the total square footage. Installation labor varies by complexity; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
