Tile installation in Utica, Michigan
Utica is small — a walkable, historic downtown surrounded on almost every side by Sterling Heights and Shelby Township — and its housing skews older and smaller than the subdivisions that surround it. Kitchens in Utica's original homes tend to be compact, with original floor tile that's often original to the house itself. That's the most common call here: a kitchen floor that's decades overdue, in a house too small and too well-located to consider replacing rather than updating. Utica homeowners tend to want the job done well and done once, not the cheapest option that'll need redoing in five years.

Why Utica homeowners call DGJ
Utica is one of the closest cities to DGJ's Macomb Township base — usually well under 15 minutes. Utica's small footprint and older housing means most jobs are compact and specific: a kitchen floor, a small original bathroom, not a full-room remodel. DGJ treats a small Utica bathroom with the same waterproofing and layout attention as a much larger job.
Utica Community Schools — the second-largest district in Michigan — actually serves a much bigger footprint than the city itself, stretching into Shelby Township and northern Sterling Heights, which is part of why DGJ's Utica work often overlaps with calls from those neighboring areas too.
Utica tile questions
Do you work on smaller, older homes in Utica's historic core near downtown?
Yes — a large share of DGJ's Utica work is exactly this: older, smaller homes near Utica's downtown, usually a kitchen floor or an original bathroom that's never been touched. Compact footprints don't mean a smaller job gets less attention to layout and waterproofing.
How far is Utica from Macomb Township?
Usually well under 15 minutes — Utica is one of the closest cities DGJ serves.
Do older Utica kitchens have subfloor issues that need addressing before tile?
Sometimes — an older, smaller home can have a subfloor that's settled slightly or was never quite level to begin with. That gets checked and corrected before new tile goes down, not tiled over.
What is the cost for a kitchen floor retile?
Cost depends on square footage, tile choice, and subfloor condition — a small, compact Utica kitchen typically costs less than a larger kitchen in a newer subdivision. {{PLACEHOLDER: price range}} A free, in-person estimate gets you a real number for your kitchen.

Yes — that whole area, Utica's downtown core out to the surrounding neighborhoods near Van Dyke, is regularly-served territory for DGJ, along with the parts of Shelby Township and Sterling Heights the district also covers.
