Tile work in Millbrae's older and newer neighborhoods
Millbrae built out in phases, per its Housing Element: Capuchino and Millbrae Highlands between 1900 and 1929, Meadow Glen and Lomita Hills in the 1930s and 1940s, Mills Estate in the 1950s and 1960s, and Green Hills from 1970 on. Tile from different eras went in differently. Older jobs were often set in thick mortar beds, newer ones on backer board.
Patching old mortar-bed tile takes care to keep the height even at the edges. Send photos of the tile and any cracked pieces, plus a spare if one's in the garage. Millbrae needs no permit for tiling, and the wet saw stays off until posted hours begin, 7:30 a.m. on weekdays.
Worth knowing about Millbrae
- The Housing Element dates Millbrae Highlands and Marina Vista to 1900 through 1929, Bayside Manor and Lomita Hills to 1930 through 1949, and the western hills to 1950 through 1969.
- Roughly three in four Millbrae homes (76.7% of 8,705 units) predate 1980; more went up in the 1950s than in any other decade, 23.0% of the total.
- The San Andreas Fault lies within a mile of Millbrae's western edge, the Serra Fault crosses the city, and soils in the east have very high liquefaction susceptibility.

Professional, quick and clean work recaulking our tub and kitchen sink! They also replaced a lightbulb and consulted on another project. Will use them in the future. Thank you, Junior!
J&J and Junior and crew provides great Handyman services and support especially for seniors that need a little excellent home maintenance for a reasonable price. Junior and crew repaired and caulked my upstairs shower pan to its shower wall and helped mme clean up my roof deck by cleaning up leafe debris. They were prompt and knowledgeable and honest about their estimates to complete the maintenance. Highly recommended for repair and fixing those tough maintenance jobs you don’t have the time or expertise to finish.
