Ceramic Tile
Hard wearing and practical for kitchens, laundries and family bathrooms.
Fully Insured Company
Tile Contractor in Easton, CT
Easton is a town of about 7,600 people, roughly 2,600 houses, and no sewer line anywhere in it. Every bathroom, kitchen and laundry in town drains to a septic field on its own lot, most houses draw from a private well, and 92 percent of the town’s land carries a three acre minimum.
That changes how a tile job here actually works. Magic of Tiles is a tile contractor based in Stamford, about 35 to 40 minutes down Route 58 and the Merritt, and we plan Easton bathrooms around what the house and the lot will genuinely allow.

Services We Provide
Tile Installation in Easton
The tile is the last decision, not the first. What determines whether it lasts is the floor under it.
02
Porcelain Tile
Absorbs half a percent of water or less, which is why it belongs in mudrooms, back halls and anywhere that sees boots and firewood through the winter.
03
Marble and Natural Stone
Stone over a wood framed floor needs roughly twice the stiffness that ceramic does. In an Easton house that usually means checking the framing before quoting the stone, not after.
04
Granite Tile
Tough and heat resistant. A sensible choice around hearths and in kitchens that get worked hard.
05
Large Format Tile
Big tile shows every dip in a floor. On a house of this age it nearly always comes with a levelling step, and that belongs in the quote.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling in Easton
Easton’s median house was built in 1974 and 60 percent of the town’s houses went up before 1980. Sixty one percent have four or more bedrooms and the median house has 8.3 rooms. That combination means most of what we do here is a second or third generation bathroom in a large house, often more than one at a time.
01
Shower Tile and Waterproofing
Built as a waterproofing system, not as tile that is hoped to shed water.
02
Bathroom Floor Tile
Set on a substrate that has been checked and prepared first, including the floor height question that comes with older houses.
03
Bathroom Wall and Accent Tile
Full height, wainscot or a single feature wall, set so the lines actually line up at the corners.
04
Tub and Shower Surrounds
Built to the same waterproofing standard as a full shower, whatever the finish material.
05
Tile Countertops and Vanity Tops
Tiled tops and vanity surrounds, detailed so the edges and the sink cut out are clean.
No Public Sewer
Every Fixture in Easton Drains to a Septic Field
This is the single biggest difference between a bathroom remodel in Easton and one in a sewered town, and it is worth understanding before you draw a new layout.
Easton has no public sewer service anywhere. The town’s own plan of conservation and development says so plainly and describes the entire town as a sewer avoidance area. Residents voted to ban community septic systems in 2006 to protect the reservoir watersheds.
In practice that means the drain locations in your bathroom are tied to a system sitting in your own yard. Keeping the toilet and the shower drain roughly where they already are, and spending the budget on a properly built wet area instead, is usually faster, cheaper and less disruptive than relocating fixtures. When a layout genuinely needs to move, that is a plumbing and site conversation first and a tile conversation second, and we would rather have it at the quote stage than halfway through.
Well Water and Your Grout
Public water reaches only part of Easton. Most houses here are on private bedrock wells, and groundwater is generally harder than surface water.
There is no single hardness figure for Easton, because there is no single source. Every well is its own answer. If you have a recent water test we will look at it, and if you do not, it is worth having one before we settle on grout color and sealer. Hard water is unkind to light grout and to glass shower doors, and the fix is a penetrating sealer and a squeegee habit rather than a darker grout you did not want.

Under The Floor
What We Find Under Easton Floors
The town’s housing splits into two clear waves, and they behave differently.
01
About 888 homes predate 1960
The Pre-1960 Third of Town
About 888 Easton houses, a third of the stock, predate 1960, and 346 of those predate 1940. In that era bath and shower floors were commonly set in a poured mortar bed over wire lath, on board subfloor rather than plywood.
Pulling a mud bed out drops the finished floor by an inch or more, which changes the threshold and sometimes the door. It is completely normal work. It just needs to be priced before demolition rather than discovered during it.
02
448 homes built in the 1970s
The 1970s Houses
The single largest group in town, 448 houses, went up in the 1970s. Those are plywood subfloors, which is a better starting point, but they still sit inside the 60 percent of Easton’s stock built before 1980. Under the visible floor there is often older resilient flooring and black adhesive.
Flooring of that type and age is treated by the trade as presumed asbestos containing until it is tested, so we do not sand it, level it or power strip it. If we open a floor and find it, we stop and talk to you before anything else happens.
03
65 percent heat with oil
Is the House on a Boiler?
Sixty five percent of Easton homes heat with oil and another 13 percent with propane. Natural gas runs only along a short stretch of Morehouse Road. Delivered fuel in this area almost always means a boiler, and it also means an existing heating loop may be sitting in the floor we are about to open. It is one of the first things we ask about.
Where We Work
Where We Work in Easton
Easton is a single ZIP code, 06612, and it covers essentially the whole town, so there is no part of Easton we treat as out of area.
01
Getting There
There is no Merritt Parkway exit inside Easton. We come up from Exit 27 for Black Rock Turnpike or Exit 28 for Sport Hill Road, both of which are physically in Fairfield.
02
Easton Center
The Center Road, Banks Road and Sport Hill Road area around the town hall, library and post office.
03
Aspetuck and Gilbertown
The oldest part of town, along Redding Road and Old Redding Road. The Aspetuck historic district holds 22 houses built between 1750 and 1850. Period houses want a considered material choice and, more often than not, a levelling pass before anything gets set.
04
Plattsville, Sport Hill, Flat Rock, North Park and Adams
The rest of the town’s named areas, including the neighborhoods along Sport Hill Road, Black Rock Turnpike, Westport Road, Morehouse Road and the eleven town designated scenic roads.
Logistics
Three Acre Lots Change the Logistics
Ninety two percent of Easton’s acreage sits in the three acre zone, with 200 feet of frontage and a 50 foot front setback as the minimum. Houses are set well back down long drives.
That affects the practical side of a job more than people expect: where the dumpster goes, where material gets staged, how far every box of tile has to be carried, and how we protect a long run of finished floor between the door and the bathroom. We plan that with you at the first visit rather than turning up and improvising.
Easton Winters
Winters Are Colder Here Than at the Shore
Easton sits at about 300 feet, inland, with no Long Island Sound frontage. The nearest inland gauge records roughly 93 days a year that cross the freezing point, against about 73 at the shoreline station a few miles south. Roughly twenty more freeze and thaw cycles a year, close enough to see on the same drive.
For anything outdoors that means frost resistant porcelain rather than merely low absorption tile, full mortar coverage with no voids that can hold water and freeze, and generous movement joints on any stoop, porch or patio.
Exterior porcelain paving, set in frost resistant material.
Choosing Tile
There Is Nowhere in Easton to Buy Tile
Easton has no commercial or industrial zoning district at all. Total retail sales for the entire town in 2022 were about $1.39 million, which is roughly $182 per resident. No showroom can open here, and none ever will.
The nearest real tile showrooms are down in Fairfield, off the Merritt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers before you reach out
All of it. Easton is a single ZIP code, 06612, and it covers essentially the entire town, from Easton Center and Aspetuck through Plattsville, Sport Hill, Flat Rock, North Park and the scenic road neighborhoods.
Sometimes, but it is the first thing to check rather than the last. Easton has no public sewer, so your fixtures drain to a septic system on your own property. Relocating a fixture is a plumbing and site question before it is a tile question. We will tell you honestly at the first visit whether the layout you want is straightforward or whether the money is better spent elsewhere in the room.
Almost certainly a mortar bed, which was standard in the decades when a third of Easton was built. It is a durable assembly. The thing to plan for is that removing it drops the floor by an inch or more, so the doorway transition changes.
If you have not tested recently, yes, it is worth doing. There is no single hardness number for Easton because most houses are on their own wells. Harder water is unkind to light grout and glass doors, and knowing the number up front lets us pick a sealer and a color you will still be happy with in five years.
It is about 20 miles and 35 to 40 minutes, up through Norwalk and in from the Merritt. We work as a tile contractor across this part of the county rather than in a single town.
