Tile Installation for Kettering, Ohio Homes
Kettering's housing stock leans heavily mid-century, and that means a lot of original tile — the small-format pastel bathroom tile common in Dayton-area homes built in the 1950s and 60s, or dated kitchen backsplashes from a decades-old remodel. AGM Tile & Flooring, based 13 miles away in Springboro, specializes in bringing these spaces current.
We build custom showers and modern backsplashes for Kettering homeowners ready to move on from original finishes, plus tile flooring for kitchens and entries that need something more durable than what's there now.
Every estimate is free and starts with an in-person visit.

Why Kettering Homeowners Need a Tile Crew That Knows Older Housing Stock
Original Mid-Century Bathroom Tile
Many Kettering homes still have their original small-format bathroom tile from the 1950s and 60s. If your home was built before 1980, the tile setting materials can potentially contain asbestos — we're trained to recognize the signs and bring in a certified specialist before disturbing anything, rather than skipping straight to demo.
Converting Tub-Only Bathrooms
A lot of Kettering's original ranch and split-level homes were built with tub-only bathrooms. Converting to a walk-in tile shower means real plumbing planning, which we scope honestly before quoting.
Dated Kitchen Backsplashes
Kettering kitchens from past remodels often have backsplash tile that reads dated today — replacing it is one of our most requested updates here.
Efficient Scheduling for Established Neighborhoods
Most backsplash jobs wrap in a day, keeping disruption to established Kettering households to a minimum.
Why Kettering Homeowners Choose AGM Tile & Flooring
From potential asbestos-era setting materials to outdated plumbing, we know what to check before starting demo on a Kettering home's original tile.
Converting a decades-old bathroom into a modern shower takes real planning — we don't shortcut it to move faster.
Thirteen miles from our Springboro base means responsive scheduling, not a multi-week wait.
Kettering's established housing stock deserves a crew that's covered for what it might uncover.
