Meyer Tile & Marble.

Washington L&I registers the business for a single specialty: tile, ceramic, mosaic, and natural and manufactured stone. The state puts the crew at one to three people, and the state lists Jeremy Meyer as a principal since 2008. The work is residential. Bathroom and kitchen tile replacements fit well here, as do mosaic backsplashes and accent walls, and natural stone floors in a custom renovation. Work tends to come through referrals and repeat customers rather than advertising. Because the focus is residential tile and stone, this isn't the shop for a large commercial flooring job, or for a house that needs carpet or hardwood laid throughout. Those trades sit outside the specialty. For a homeowner who wants one person accountable for the tile in a bathroom, kitchen or entry, a small specialist like this keeps the job in the same hands from layout to grout. Tile is indoor work, so it runs year-round in Spokane, but demand still bunches up. Late winter and early spring bring a wave of bathroom and kitchen remodels planned over the holidays, and fall fills with people trying to finish before family visits. A small crew books out faster than a big outfit when those waves hit. Plan a few months ahead if the timing matters, pick your tile early since stone and specialty mosaics can take time to arrive, and expect the most flexibility in midsummer.
