01 / The Story
A Trade Learned Through the Work

A company built around care for the room and the people living beside it.

Shawn began setting tile at 20 while working beside his father. He learned by measuring, preparing, laying out, and finishing rooms for homeowners who expected the details to hold up every day.

He later ran his own company in Moorhead, Minnesota, returned to the Twin Cities for another stretch on his father’s crew, and founded Precision Tiling in 2018. The path shaped a focused standard: the person who understands the proposal stays close to the work that fulfills it.

Today, Shawn carries more than 400 completed projects across his career. He still meets homeowners in their space, confirms the scope from the room itself, and leads the project with the crew responsible for the finished result.

Age 20

Learning the trade.

Shawn began setting tile beside his father on active job sites.

Moorhead

Running his own work.

He led his own company in northwest Minnesota and built the experience of carrying a project from scope to finish.

Twin Cities

Returning to the craft.

Back in the metro, he continued the work alongside his father and refined the standard he would build under his own name.

2018

Founding Precision Tiling.

Precision Tiling began as a focused bathroom-remodeling and tile-craftsmanship company serving the Twin Cities.

02 / The Founder-Led Standard
What It Means for Your Remodel

A clear process follows when the person meeting you in the home stays connected to the build.

The consultation creates the foundation for the project. Shawn measures the room, reviews the direction you are considering, and prepares the written scope that guides materials, schedule, construction details, and the final walkthrough.

PS / 01

The room is measured before the proposal is prepared.

A proposal begins with the actual layout, conditions, and construction requirements of your space. That creates clarity around what the work includes and how the project is planned.

PS / 02

The system behind the tile is specified in writing.

Schluter or Wedi waterproofing is selected for the shower scope and named before tile work begins, so the important construction layers are part of the plan.

PS / 03

Scope changes are documented before added work proceeds.

A requested change or a concealed condition discovered during demolition is reviewed, priced, and presented through a written change order for approval.

PS / 04

The work is guided through the final walkthrough.

Shawn leads the build with the same crew while licensed plumbing and electrical contractors complete their scheduled trades. The project closes with a walkthrough of the finished room.
