Rough Roots builds shower surrounds, backsplashes and floors set with proper waterproofing and even grout lines for homeowners in El Reno. We're a Canadian County contractor based in Mustang, and El Reno is west of Yukon, an easy drive from the shop, so you're not waiting on a crew that drives in from an hour away.
El Reno's historic downtown and older homes mean a lot of the work here is practical, like repairing, updating and adding on to houses with good bones. Bathroom floors, kitchen backsplashes, shower surrounds and accent walls. Clean cuts, tight grout lines and lasting installs. We approach tile work as finish craft, not filler work. In El Reno, that means shower surrounds, backsplashes and floors set with proper waterproofing and even grout lines. El Reno's clay ground gets the same deep-set footing treatment we use across the county. Whether your home is one of El Reno's established properties or a newer build, we scope the job to your lot and your budget, give you a firm price before we start, and build it to last.
Full waterproofing, backer board and tile install. Niches, shelves and bench seats built in as needed. No leaks, no shortcuts.
Bathroom, kitchen, laundry and entryway floors. Proper substrate prep, consistent spacing and clean transitions to adjacent flooring.
Subway, mosaic, large format and patterned tile. We handle the layout, cuts around outlets and windows and edge finishing.
Feature walls in bathrooms, kitchens, or living spaces. Designed to add texture and visual weight without overwhelming the room.
Patio surfaces and outdoor kitchen areas with frost-rated tile and proper drainage slope. Built for Oklahoma's freeze-thaw cycles.

El Reno is the Canadian County seat, with an older, more affordable housing stock and plenty of acreage on the edges, where practical repairs, fencing and additions get the most calls. Tile work exposes every flaw. We take the time to prep properly, lay accurately and grout cleanly because the result is visible every day. Our tile installs are built to the finish standard, not the speed standard. Because El Reno is west of Yukon, an easy drive from the shop, you get faster scheduling, a builder on site instead of a project manager, and warranty follow-up you can actually hold us to.

Tile cost depends on the size of the area, the tile you pick, and the prep, since a simple backsplash and a full shower surround with a niche and a bench are very different jobs. Larger format and specialty tile cost more to buy and set than basic ceramic. Tell us what you are picturing and request a free estimate, and we will price your El Reno project for free.
When a tiling project needs a permit, we file it through the City of El Reno and coordinate any inspections, so you don't have to manage the paperwork.
A shower surround usually takes several days from demo to grout, because the waterproofing, the thinset, and the grout each need time to set before we move to the next step. Floors and backsplashes are often quicker. Rushing any of those cure times is how showers leak later, so we do not skip them.
The waterproofing behind the tile is what actually keeps water out, not the tile and grout themselves. We install a proper waterproof membrane and pan and let it cure before a single tile goes up. Done right, that is what keeps water out of your walls and subfloor for the long haul.
Porcelain is the workhorse for floors and wet areas because it is dense, hard, and takes on very little water. Ceramic works well on walls and backsplashes and usually costs a bit less. Natural stone looks great but needs sealing and more care, and we will point you to what fits the room and how you live.
Sometimes, if the old tile is solid, flat, and well bonded, but it is not always the right call, especially in a shower where the waterproofing underneath matters. Often the better long term fix is to tear it out, check the surface behind it, and start clean. We will look at what you have and give you a straight answer.
Most standard backsplashes go in over a couple of days, one to set the tile and another to grout and seal after the thinset sets up. Intricate patterns, mosaics, or a lot of cuts around outlets add time. It is a smaller job that makes a big difference in how a kitchen looks.
Sealing the grout and keeping the shower ventilated does most of the work, since mold feeds on trapped moisture. Wipe the walls down and run the fan or crack a window after showers. When we tile a shower we seal the grout and can walk you through keeping it clean.
