Highest Quality Artisan Tile Installation & Design!




Hello, my name is Wally Cockcroft, I'm a Tile Setter and I love what I do. 

Setting Tile is much more than just a trade for me, it’s a way of life. Learning the craft from my father in my early years instilled in me the pride of work ethic and the satisfaction of a job well done. 

I carried this with me into my first Tile Apprentice Job with Bill McDonald in Durango, CO. Bill came from a great lineage through Glen Camarca who was widely respected as the best Tile Setter in the 4 Corners for some time. I learned not only a great many things about tile from Bill, but life as well. 

In 2013 after working for many years on & off with 2180 Lighting & Design(Formely McCormick Tile & Stone) in Durango, CO I ventured out and started my own company, Walter Cockcroft Tile & Stone. Since then I have had the opportunity to work with amazing builders and designers, to have my work in some of Durango’s most recognized custom homes & have been blessed to create some wonderful lifelong friends with my clients. 

Now, In moving to Nashville, TN I look forward to bringing to same Work Ethic, Unparalleled Finished Product & Fluid Work Process that has made me recognized as one of the Best Tile Setters in the 4 Corners. 

Whether it's a simple straightforward shower or a complex designed floor in a custom home, I take the same time, care and expertise to make your project everything that it can be. 

Utilizing the latest in Tile Setting components, you can rest assure your project has been completed with the upmost quality and longevity in mind. 

I look forward to an opportunity to work with you and help achieve your dream for your Floor, Backsplash, Custom Shower & More.

### All 10 reviews

**★★★★★ — Eric Tichenor, March 2019**

> Wally was awesome to work with from start to finish.  We relied on his expertise to help select the best type of tile and layout.  He made the whole process completely painless - he even bought the tile and materials as part of the price which was extremely fair.  Wally is a true professional in every way.  He was on time and has a great work ethic.  We couldn't be happier with the end result and highly recommend him!

**★★★★★ — Jarrosak Woodwrights ltd, Feb. 2019**

> Walter is a professional tile setter. With a keen eye for detail and knowledge of materials his quality of work is second to none. He takes pride in his jobs and finishes in a timely manner.

**★★★★★ — Suzanna Hamilton, Feb. 2019**

> Wally did an excellent job with all of our tile through-out our new construction home. He's extremely creative. He is also able to look at photo's and suggest changes to make the look you're trying to achieve even better. We did sliced gaged rock flooring in all of our bathroom showers as well as in the shampoo and soap insets. Wally was amazing at integrated the sliced gaged rock as well as making the flow of the larger tile pieces seamless. Per Wally's suggestion, we also integrated schluter strips in all of the bathroom showers. The backsplash in our kitchen is seamless and beautiful thanks to Wally's creativity. We highly recommend Wally.

**★★★★★ — Chris, Feb. 2019**

> To say Wally is a Master Tile setter is an understatement. He is an artist and obsesses over the quality of his work. His product not only reflects the personal commitment to his craft, but his desire to leave a legacy with his work well after the job is completed. He is excellent at communicating with general contractors and other trades on new construction and has excellent job site awareness and equally adept at respecting the homeowners space on remodel projects.

**★★★★★ — Erica Buckwalter, Feb. 2019**

> We hired Wally to work on a couple of tile projects in our home.  We would absolutely hire him again!  He is very detail oriented, professional, and was able to offer some great design ideas for our shower tile.  He is also very personable and easy to communicate with. Without reservation we would highly recommend him to anyone needing tile work!

**★★★★★ — Steve Kawell, Feb. 2019**

> Wally is a true craftsman.
> He has the skills to work with specialty stone tiles.
> His work is amazing!
> He completed the work in the time frame he said and for the price he quoted.
> His energy and enthusiasm is contagious.
> I highly recommend Wally for all tile work requiring a skilled installer.

**★★★★★ — Ann Christensen, Jan. 2019**

> Wally just completed two bathrooms and several floor areas for our new home. He is a true master of his craft and brings an eye for detail.  His pricing was very reasonable and competitive. He finished the work quickly and was a great communicator.  Highly recommend.

**★★★★★ — Candent Design, Dec. 2018**

> Wally is an excellent tile installer.  His attention to detail, his professionalism and his positive attitude make our shared projects, no matter the scope, finish on time, in budget and with thrilled clients.

**★★★★★ — Buena Vista Builders, Inc., Jan. 2017**

> Wally is the BEST tile designer and setter! We can't say enough great things about him. Looking forward to working with you in the future!

**★★★★★ — 2180 Lighting & Design Studio, Jan. 2017**

> We have worked with Walter, or as many know him as Wally, often over the years and have recommended his services to many of our clients. His work is beautiful, especially when it comes to laying tile. Fun, reliable, & an artist - Walter will not disappoint.
