Bathroom Remodeling & Tile Installation in Andover, MN
Andover homes work hard — acreage, outbuildings, mudrooms that earn their name. The bathrooms and floors in those homes should work just as hard, and look like they belong there when the boots come off.
Andover borders our home base in Ramsey, so we know its mix well: established subdivisions on one road, working acreage with long driveways on the next. Seven years of tile experience goes into every Andover project, scoped plainly and priced honestly. Northline Renovations LLC is registered and active in Minnesota; we are not a licensed Minnesota general contractor — we install under licensed general contractors and take defined bathroom, tile, and flooring installation scopes directly with homeowners.
What we install in Andover
Andover calls usually combine a bathroom project with a flooring problem somewhere else in the house. We cover both:
- Tile installation — Ceramic and porcelain tile for showers, bathroom floors, backsplashes, and the hard-working entries and mudrooms acreage homes depend on.
- Flooring installation — Tile and hard-surface flooring chosen for real life — tracked-in gravel, wet boots, dogs — installed over properly prepared, leveled substrates.
- Bathroom remodeling — Primary and hall bathroom remodels in a defined scope, including the larger primary baths many Andover homes were built with.
Planning both a bath and a floor? The remodel cost calculator gives you a starting number for the bathroom, and we can scope the flooring on the same visit.
Acreage and subdivisions: Andover's two kinds of projects
Andover grew in two directions at once. The subdivisions carry mostly 1980s through 2000s homes with familiar layouts — and, by now, familiar wear: original hall baths, builder tile, and primary suites ready for a real shower. Out on the acreage properties, the houses are often larger, the primary baths more generous, and the entries do serious duty. It is no accident that mudroom tile and flooring is one of our most requested Andover scopes: a floor that shrugs off snow, mud, and grit is not a luxury on a rural lot, it is maintenance you do once.
Parts of outlying Andover run on septic systems and private wells, which matters for planning rather than for tile itself: bathroom projects there are usually about finishes and fixtures within the existing footprint, not adding new plumbing wholesale, and we will talk through that honestly at the estimate if expansion is on your mind. What tile needs everywhere in Andover is the same — a flat, sound substrate, real waterproofing in wet zones, and layouts planned before thinset is mixed. Larger primary baths also give Andover homeowners options smaller baths do not: a separate tiled shower and a kept soaking tub, both done properly.
How estimates work in Andover
Start with the free estimate form — photos help more here than anywhere, since Andover homes vary so much — or call 763-260-4117, Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 4 PM. If your project includes an entry or mudroom, photograph it too; scoping bath and floor together on one visit saves everyone a trip.
- One visit, whole scope — bathroom, entry, and flooring measured together, quoted as clearly separated line items.
- Substrate honesty — leveling and prep written into the scope, especially under large-format tile.
- Practical material guidance — finishes matched to how the space is actually used, not just how it photographs.

Common questions in Andover
We are on septic and well in Andover. Does that change a bathroom remodel?
For a finishes-and-fixtures remodel within the existing footprint, generally no — tile, waterproofing, and flooring work is unaffected. Where it matters is if you want to add a bathroom or significantly expand plumbing in an outlying area; we will flag that at the estimate so any septic questions get answered before money is spent.
Can you do our bathroom and our mudroom floor in the same project?
Yes, and in Andover that combination is common. We scope them as separate line items on one estimate and sequence the work so the house stays livable — mudroom tile is often the fastest win in the whole house for acreage homes.
Do you serve the rural parts of Andover, or only the subdivisions?
Both. Acreage homes on the outlying roads are a normal part of our Andover work — there is no travel charge for estimates anywhere in Andover. Call 763-260-4117, Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 4 PM, to set up a visit.
Our primary bath is large. Is keeping a tub and adding a tiled shower realistic?
In many Andover primary suites, yes — the square footage that smaller suburbs lack is exactly what you have. We will lay out both options at the estimate: a combined tub-shower rebuild, or a dedicated tiled shower with the tub kept, each with its own price.
