Hello,
I started as a tile apprentice, and installed tile to pay my way through college, and earned a BFA in Graphic Design. Since 1999 I’ve worked in Colorado’s tile and stone world in distribution and design—supporting architects, designers, builders, and homeowners through thousands of decisions on materials, methods, and design. Along the way I earned CTC certification, blending hands-on installation knowledge with a design-focused eye.
What I learned: remodels and new construction often fail (and budgets explode) when details get missed—coverage, prep, wrong mortar for large-format tile, or specs that don’t match real-world conditions. Even well-intentioned people in showrooms or installation may give guidance that seems right but is missing critical training or technical depth. In this industry, most mistakes don’t show up right away—they reveal themselves the expensive way 4–7 years later.
That’s why I started Home Tile & Stone Consulting. I provide industry-backed information through the (NTCA) combined with a strong design background, giving homeowners unbiased, practical guidance from both a technical and aesthetic perspective. I believe when a homeowner begins with a strong knowledge base, it’s priceless. My goal is to help you choose the right products, set a realistic plan, and avoid the common traps that cost people thousands.

“Working with Corey on the Western Slope has been a game-changer for me as a tile installation company owner. Over the years, we tackled numerous projects together, and Corey’s expertise in both tile and allied products has always been a huge asset. He’s got a knack for solving tricky installation issues and making sure every detail is spot on. I’ve always appreciated his support and the practical know-how he brings to the table.” – Ken Johnson
