Countertop, Tile & Flooring Installation in Baton Rouge
If you’re in Baton Rouge and need someone to install countertops, that’s exactly what our team does at STONE. We work with homeowners planning a single-room remodel and with contractors managing a full build. Whether you’re looking at tile, flooring, backsplashes, carpet, or outdoor pavers, our expert team can attend to your installation. No matter the material, we install to industry standards, and we’re glad to walk you through what those standards mean for your project.
Our founder spent years in construction before starting STONE, which shapes how we scope jobs, prep substrates, and sequence work alongside other trades. Our industry expertise shapes the way we manage vendors on job sites and small projects. We understand each perspective because we’ve been there too.
Countertop Installation
From luxurious granite to stunning quartz, get countertops at STONE.
When a countertop install goes wrong, you see it every time you walk into the kitchen: open seams, uneven overhangs, or a crack running out from the sink cutout. But when it goes right, new countertops or a countertop upgrade provide an immediate, dramatic transformation to any room.
At STONE, we regularly install granite, quartz, marble, quartzite, soapstone, and solid-surface counters. Our team templates with digital or laser measurement, cuts your sink and cooktop openings to the manufacturer’s spec, machines your edge profile (beveled, ogee, waterfall, or something in between), and finishes the joint where your backsplash meets the counter.
Whether you sourced your slab from us or from somewhere else, we can handle the install. We’re also happy to help you select the best material from our countertop slab and quartz inventory at one of our Baton Rouge showrooms if you’re still deciding.
Most folks searching for countertop installers in Baton Rouge are usually in one of two spots: mid-remodel and needing someone who can start soon, or still in the planning stage and wanting to better understand the process before ordering a slab. We’re glad to help with either.
Call for a showroom visit at our Airline or Jefferson location to see a wide selection in person and get a feel for the potential in your countertop project.
Tile Installation
Whether it’s porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone, we handle tile flooring with finesse.
Tile jobs succeed or fail on the substrate. A substrate is the surface below your tile where installers apply the mortar for tile placement. The substrate surface must be flat and precisely aligned. Without proper placement, you end up with lippage, which is hollow spots that fail under heavy foot traffic, or even cracking that traces back to the problems underneath.
We install porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, glass, and mosaic tile in kitchens and baths, on shower walls and pans, in mudrooms and entryways, on feature walls, and around fireplaces.
A lot of tile installation in Baton Rouge involves large-format porcelain going down over a concrete slab, which brings its own set of requirements around slab flatness, crack-isolation membrane, and mortar selection. We spell those steps out in your estimate so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Flooring Installation: Wood, Laminate, Vinyl, and Brick
Transform your space with our expert wood and brick flooring installations.
You know Baton Rouge humidity as well as we do. The city averages around 74 percent relative humidity year-round, which only climbs higher in summer, so when you’re considering what flooring to select and how to install it, know that humidity will affect any wood floor. The National Wood Flooring Association requires a maximum 4 percent moisture-content difference between your flooring and your subfloor at installation, and calls for indoor humidity to stay between 30 and 50 percent for the life of the floor to prevent cupping, crowning, and gapping. It’s critical to test the moisture in both the flooring and the subfloor before any installation.
We install solid and engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank and tile, laminate, and brick flooring. The first step on any job is checking the subfloor. If it needs leveling, patching, or a vapor retarder, we flag it and price it at the walkthrough, so when the material arrives, the job site is ready for smooth installation.
Brick flooring, which we’re seeing more of again in Baton Rouge kitchens and entryways, needs sealing to control moisture from both sides. That sealer schedule is part of what we handle on the install.
Backsplash Installation
Add the perfect finishing touch to your kitchen or bathroom with our backsplash installations.
Backsplash can be a gorgeous, stunning statement piece or the perfect complement to a minimalist design. No matter your style, a backsplash won’t conceal any flaws that result from poor or improper installation.
Plumb lines have to line up with the cabinets above. Cuts around outlets have to sit flush against the faceplates. Plus, grout lines have to carry through inside and outside corners cleanly, which many DIYers skimp on as though it’s not precise work.
We install subway, mosaic, natural stone, glass, and large-format backsplash tile, whether you want a standard 4-to-18-inch run between counter and uppers or a full-height treatment running to the ceiling or range hood. When we’re doing your countertop and backsplash together, we typically sequence the two for seamless installation.
Most homeowners searching for a backsplash installer in Baton Rouge, LA are working around a kitchen they still need to use. We schedule tight timelines, cover your appliances and cabinet faces, and clean up at the end of each day, so the house stays livable through the project, if needed.
Carpet Installation
Experience comfort and style with our precise carpet installations.
Best practices for residential carpet installation make proper power stretching mandatory for a reason. When a knee-kicker or any tool that punches through the backing gets used in place of a power stretcher, you’ll see wrinkles, buckling, and premature backing delamination within a few months. The effect is awful and makes even the finest carpet look cheap and dingy.
We install residential broadloom carpet in bedrooms, living rooms, stairs, and whole-home layouts. We power-stretch to match the pad to what your carpet’s warranty requires, and detail the transitions where carpet meets your other flooring. If you want us to pull up and haul away the old carpet, we can add that on to the project as well.
On stairs, we do both waterfall and cap-and-band styles. We’ll confirm which one you want before we order material, since the two use different yardage.
Outdoor Paver Installation
Beautify your backyard and patio with our outdoor paver installations.
Louisiana clay and heavy seasonal rain make base preparation the deciding factor in how long pavers hold up. The Concrete Masonry & Hardscapes Association recommends a minimum of 7 to 8 inches of excavation for pedestrian walkways. Driveways and areas that carry vehicles need deeper excavation and structural design coordination.
We install concrete pavers, clay brick, and natural stone pavers. Projects run from patios, courtyards, and pool decks to driveways, walkways, and segmental retaining walls with proper edge restraint.
Paver installers in Baton Rouge who cut corners on base depth, edge restraint, or compaction end up with jobs that heave inside a couple of seasons. Following the CMHA specs is what keeps a patio holding its line for decades in our wet climate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install materials I bought somewhere else?
Yes. Countertops, tile, flooring, or pavers you sourced from another supplier are fine. Share the product spec ahead of the job so we show up with the right setting materials and consumables.
How long does a typical installation take?
Timelines depend on scope. A kitchen backsplash usually takes one to two days. Countertops are typically templated one week and installed one to two weeks after that. A bathroom tile floor runs two to three days, including cure time. Paver patios scale with square footage and how deep the base prep has to go, so we put a project-specific timeline in your written quote.
Do you handle demolition and removal of the old material?
In most cases, yes. We can price countertop tear-out, tile demo, carpet removal, and haul-away into your estimate. Mention it when you request the quote so we size the crew and the disposal load right.
What areas do you serve?
The Baton Rouge metro area, including East Baton Rouge, Ascension, Livingston, and West Baton Rouge parishes. If you’re just outside that footprint, ask, and we’ll let you know whether we can cover it.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We’re happy to send our current license and insurance certificates over on request, especially for contractor and commercial jobs.
Can you coordinate with my general contractor or designer?
Yes. We work with general contractors and designers who need a reliable installation sub, show up for job walks, work off the shared schedule, and talk directly with your project manager.
