Craftsmanship Rooted in the Flathead Valley

Kalispell is our home base

Nautilus Design and Build is not just a company that serves Kalispell. We are based here. Our shop is located at 191 Shady Lane, and the majority of our crew lives right here in town. That proximity means faster response times, easier scheduling, and a level of accountability that out-of-town contractors simply cannot match. When you call Nautilus, you are calling your neighbor.

Serving Every Corner of Kalispell

Kalispell is the commercial and residential hub of the Flathead Valley, and we have worked in every part of it. From the tree-lined streets of the historic Westside neighborhood to the newer developments pushing north along Highway 93, from established homes along Meridian Road to the growing subdivisions east of town, Nautilus has set tile, floated plaster, and built stone features across the full spectrum of Kalispell properties.

We work closely with local builders and designers on new construction projects throughout Kalispell, providing the finishing surfaces that turn a house into a home. Custom mud-set tile showers, hand-troweled Venetian plaster feature walls, natural stone fireplace surrounds, and poured concrete countertops are just some of the surfaces we install regularly in Kalispell homes.

Residential and Light Commercial Work

Beyond residential projects, Nautilus also handles light commercial tile and stone installations throughout downtown Kalispell and the surrounding business corridors. Restaurant floors, retail spaces, brewery tap rooms, and professional office lobbies all benefit from the same hand-crafted approach we bring to our residential work. The growing downtown Kalispell scene demands durable, beautiful surfaces that can handle heavy foot traffic while still looking exceptional, and that is exactly what we deliver.

Whether your project is a quick backsplash upgrade in a Westside bungalow or a complete bathroom remodel in a new north Kalispell build, Nautilus brings 22 years of experience and a commitment to quality that has made us the trusted name in tile, plaster, and stone throughout the Flathead Valley.
