The Versailles Standard
Tile Is the Most Unforgiving Finish in Your Home — and the Most Visible.
Versailles is our hometown — the Morgan County seat where our family has built since 1958. Lake Ozarks Remodeling Co was established here in 1996 by our owner, who has personally led every project since. We've built more projects for more Versailles neighbors than any contractor in the region across 65+ years of family operation. A tile installation done incorrectly shows every flaw within a year: lippage between tiles, grout lines that aren't aligned, cracks that appear over an uneven substrate, efflorescence blooming across the surface. We are professional tile setters — not general contractors who do tile between drywall jobs. We use Schluter edge and transition systems, medium-bed mortar on large-format tile, proper trowel size for full back coverage, and TCNA installation methods on every project. The difference is visible immediately and permanent.
- Book-matched marble installations
- Custom mosaic and pattern work
- Handmade zellige and artisan tile
- Heated tile floor systems
- Schluter waterproofing systems

Local Expertise
Versailles Is Home — and We Work Here Like Every Neighbor Is Watching, Because They Are.
Our headquarters is at 301 Fairground Rd in Versailles — the Morgan County seat — and this is where our family has lived, worked, and built since 1958. Our owner, Michael McGee, has worked the Lake personally since 1996. We know every street, every building inspector, every supplier, and a substantial portion of the neighborhood. When you hire us for a Versailles project, your project manager is 5 minutes away at all times. Our crews don't carry a drive premium in your bid. And our reputation in Versailles is built on four generations of neighbors recommending us to neighbors — which creates a standard of accountability that no out-of-town or out-of-state contractor will ever face. Lake environments demand more from tile: humidity causes grout failure in showers that aren't properly waterproofed, freeze-thaw cycles crack tile on outdoor surfaces installed without movement joints, and high guest traffic in vacation properties accelerates wear on improperly bonded installations. We specify materials and installation methods for each location's specific exposure — indoor, outdoor, wet area, high-traffic — so your tile investment performs for decades, not years.
- Versailles is our hometown — family building here since 1958, 5 minutes from headquarters, Morgan County licensed, zero drive premium, 65+ years of neighbor references
- Large-format tile installation with medium-bed mortar and 95%+ back coverage specification
- Schluter edge, transition, and trim systems — no cheap plastic finishing on any installation
- Outdoor tile with freeze-thaw rated materials and properly spaced movement joints
- Waterproof shower tile — full membrane system, not plastic sheeting behind cement board

FAQ
Common Questions, Honest Answers
What tile sizes work best in lake home spaces?
Large-format tile (24×24 and larger) is the dominant choice in lake home renovation for its clean look and minimal grout lines. Larger tiles require a flatter, more carefully prepared substrate and medium-bed mortar installation — shortcuts here cause lippage and bond failures. We assess substrate flatness before tile selection so you're not choosing a format your floor can't support.
Can tile be installed outdoors at a lake home?
Yes, but outdoor tile at the Lake of the Ozarks must be specified for freeze-thaw exposure — a tile rated for exterior use with low water absorption, proper movement joints throughout the installation, and exterior-rated mortar and grout. Improperly installed outdoor tile cracks within one or two winters. We handle the specification and installation correctly.
How do you fix a tile floor that is cracked or hollow-sounding?
Hollow tile indicates bond failure between the tile and substrate. Cracked tile often indicates substrate movement or insufficient mortar coverage. Both require removing the affected area and reinstalling over a corrected substrate. We assess the root cause before proposing a repair approach so the new installation doesn't repeat the same failure.
What's the real advantage of hiring a contractor based in Versailles for a Versailles project?
Your project manager is 5 minutes away. Material deliveries are faster. There's no travel markup embedded in your bid. And we've been accountable to this community for 25+ years — our neighbors can find us, talk to us, and reference our past work in ways that out-of-town contractors will never face. In Versailles, our reputation is on the line on every project in a way that matters to us personally.
Do you work on historic and older homes in Versailles?
Absolutely — many Versailles properties include homes dating back 60–100+ years, and updating these homes while preserving their character is one of our genuine specialties. We assess existing structural and mechanical conditions thoroughly before we commit to scope, we're honest about what's behind the walls before budgets are finalized, and we know the Morgan County building code requirements for work on older residential structures.
