So why us, and not the other guy?

Honestly? Finding a tiler who shows up, does it right, and treats your kitchen like their own is harder than it should be. That is the whole reason MCode exists. We are owner-operated, so there is no rotating crew and no job handed off to whoever happened to be free that week. We have been setting tile since 2006, and we treat every project as if it were for our own home. We do it right the first time, the only time. We keep the space clean, and we keep you up-to-date with everything so you don't have to worry about anything.
Here's what your kitchen gets
- Demo, prep, layout, tile and daily cleanup
- Outlets and switches mapped before a tile is cut
- Help choosing tile, grout and layout so it looks designed
- A written estimate and straight pricing before we start
- Every tile installed by a 20-year licensed professional
- 63 five-star reviews behind every kitchen we take

Short version up top. Tap any row if you want the how and the why.
01Kitchen Backsplashes+
The wall everyone actually looks at.
Subway, herringbone, marble, glass or mosaic, all set on a layout we plan before a drop of thinset goes down. We mark the outlets and switches first, so you never end up with a sliver of tile sawn around a socket. The pattern gets centred on the range or the hood, and the awkward cuts get parked in the corners nobody stares at. Fairfax has everything from Old Town colonials to updated split-levels near George Mason, so no two backsplashes start the same, and we plan each one for the kitchen it is actually going into.
02Kitchen Floor Tile+
Built to take a dropped cast-iron pan.
A kitchen floor gets walked on, spilled on and dropped on, so it earns a proper base. Porcelain soaks up 0.5% water or less (ANSI A137.1), which is why a spill just wipes away. Set over a prepped subfloor with an uncoupling membrane, a thin layer that lets the floor move a hair with the seasons, it flexes instead of cracking a grout line. A lot of Fairfax homes are 1960s and 1970s ramblers with plywood subfloors that have settled over the decades, so that membrane is doing quiet, important work down there.
03Feature and Accent Walls+
One wall that carries the room.
A range wall, a hood surround, a wet-bar back. We dry-lay it, balance the pattern, and grout it in a colour we pick with you standing in your own kitchen, not off a chart in a shop. Marble, glass and mosaic all welcome, whether it is a townhouse near Fairfax Corner or an older place off Main Street.
04Layout and Design Help+
Where custom actually lives.
Custom is not the tile, it is the layout, the grout colour and the trim, and all of that gets settled before you order a single box. We hold samples up in your kitchen's real light and flag any tile that will fight us on the wall. Older Fairfax kitchens rarely have a square corner to start from, so getting the starting line right is half the battle. It comes with the job, not as an extra line on the bill.
05Kitchen Tile Repair and Regrout+
Fix the tile, not the whole kitchen.
Not every kitchen needs gutting, and we will tell you straight which camp yours is in. Cracked or loose backsplash tile matched and swapped, tired grout raked out and refreshed, and whatever caused it in the first place sorted so it stays sorted.
Kitchens we have actually finished.
Backsplashes, floors and feature walls from around the DMV. Every one dry-laid and signed off before a tile went up.












5 Star Rated
Amazing work. Honest. Reliable. Helpful. And super efficient.
I hired him for a backsplash installation, and I’m very impressed. He was professional, punctual, and did a fantastic job. The backsplash looks amazing, and he paid great attention to detail. Highly recommend for any home improvement needs!
Most importantly the work is great! Everything we expected. Worked hard, gave great advice, always on time, respectful, all around nice guy. And the price was reasonable. I was happy to pay a little extra.
Nik was easy to work with and provided clear lists for what I needed to provide and what he would provide; immediately responsive and good work. Took precautions to prevent damage to newly installed counters.
We are very happy with Nick’s work for kitchen backsplash. He is fantastic and best in his work.
Can't say enough good things. He came and tackled a hard job wev'e been putting off for a while. The end result is simply amazing and for a fair price! Will abso;utely return for services.
“Great job on the tile installation! The precision and craftsmanship really show, and the finished result looks fantastic. Your hard work and attention to detail are truly appreciated!”
Great professional
Should have gone with Nikolay in the first place. He spotted all the flaws from our previous contractor and even though he had to rip the other person’s work out he stood by his original estimate to us.
