Tile Installation in Lamont, CA
Bakersfield Keystone Tile & Pavers provides professional tile installation in Lamont, CA. Lamont is a small, tightly knit community southeast of Bakersfield where homeowners take genuine pride in maintaining their homes. Minor tile repairs that get ignored in larger cities tend to get addressed here — which is exactly why we enjoy working in communities like Lamont. Our clients want it done right, and so do we.

Bathroom Tile Renovation for Lamont Homeowners
Bathroom tile in many Lamont homes dates back to the original construction — 1960s and 1970s era installations with pink, avocado, or almond tile that is grouted with dark staining that no amount of scrubbing removes. Beyond aesthetics, older bathroom tile systems often lack proper waterproofing beneath the tile layer, which means moisture has been working its way into the wall studs for years and causing damage that is not yet visible on the surface.
We address both the cosmetic and structural realities of bathroom renovations. Before installing new tile, we remove the old material and inspect the substrate. If we find water damage in the backer board or framing, we address it before tiling — because putting new tile over damaged substrate is borrowing trouble. We install Schluter KERDI waterproofing membrane as standard practice on all shower walls, which creates an impervious barrier that protects the structure for the life of the installation.
For Lamont homeowners who are ready to finally update that bathroom, the project timeline is typically one to two weeks from start to tile-ready. We handle demolition, substrate repair, waterproofing, tile installation, and grouting — the complete scope, with no subcontracting.
Kitchen Tile and Floor Tile for Lamont Homes
Kitchen backsplashes are one of the most common tile projects we do for Lamont homeowners. A professionally installed backsplash protects the wall from cooking grease, takes the kitchen from dated to updated, and runs significantly less than a cabinet or countertop replacement. Most backsplash projects — 25 to 50 square feet — complete in 2–3 days with no disruption to kitchen use during the cure period.
We also install tile floors throughout Lamont homes — kitchen, bathroom, hallway, and living area. Ceramic and porcelain are both good choices for South Kern homes: easy to clean, durable under foot traffic, and resistant to the dust that comes through during dry, windy periods. We check the subfloor before we start and use self-leveling compound where needed so the finished floor doesn't develop cracked grout lines within the first year.

We serve the full South Kern corridor and are comfortable working in smaller communities where some contractors simply do not bother to travel. Lamont is a community we know well, and we respect the tight-knit character of the area. Word of mouth is important here — we know that every project we complete in Lamont reflects directly on our reputation with the community.
We also serve property owners in McFarland, CA. If you know someone in McFarland who needs tile work done by a crew that shows up when they say they will, we would be honored for the referral.
Frequently Asked Questions — Lamont, CA
Does it cost more to have work done in Lamont vs. Bakersfield?
No. We do not charge travel surcharges for Lamont projects. Our pricing is based on the scope of the work itself, not the city ZIP code. You pay the same as a comparably sized project in central Bakersfield.
How long does a bathroom tile renovation take from start to finish?
A standard bathroom tile renovation in Lamont typically runs seven to fourteen days from demolition to final grout seal. The duration depends on the size of the space, whether we discover substrate damage that needs repair, and the tile layout complexity.
Do you waterproof showers in Lamont homes?
Yes — we use Schluter KERDI waterproofing membrane on every shower and tub surround we install. Grout is not waterproof, and cement board is not waterproof. KERDI creates a continuous barrier behind the tile that prevents moisture from reaching the wall framing. It's standard practice on every wet area installation we do.
Can you repair grout or replace just a few broken tiles?
Yes. We do single-tile replacements and re-grouting without tearing out the whole floor or shower. The key is finding a reasonable tile match first — we search our supplier network before confirming any repair. If nothing matches well, we'll show you your options before starting.
Can you give me a ballpark estimate over the phone?
We can provide rough ranges over the phone based on project type and square footage, but we strongly prefer to provide written, fixed-price estimates after an on-site visit. Phone estimates frequently miss variables that significantly affect cost, and we do not want to create unrealistic expectations.
