Tile design and installation, Harwich, Cape CodHarwich, Cape Cod
Cape Cod Tileworks is Lane and Tom Meehan: a RISD-trained tile designer and a second-generation tile installer, creating mosaics, murals, showers and backsplashes for Cape homes.
Cape Cod Tileworks has done custom tile in Harwich, MA for decades. In February 2022 the business marked 27 years in its Harwich building, and it still designs and installs tile projects. Its Facebook page sums it up in three words: design and installation.
The work is easy to spot. Pebble backsplashes with ceramic fish and a mermaid swimming across them.
A tile map of Cape Cod set into a white tile wall. Pebble fireplace surrounds, and patios that used to be bare cement slabs.
Owner Lane Meehan is a RISD graduate who helps you pick the right tile, and Tom Meehan, a second-generation installer, sets it.
One-of-a-kind pieces drawn for your house: a Cape Cod map set into a tiled wall, carved owls and flowers among river pebbles, sea life tucked into a backsplash. Lane designs the piece and it is laid out by hand before installation.
From quiet marble-look porcelain with a woven border and niche, to 12 by 24 porcelain pulled together for a rich look, to navy herringbone. Builders like Schoolhouse Construction have used Cape Cod Tileworks on many bathroom remodels.
Backsplashes that tell a story or simply finish a kitchen well. One family bought tile for two new bathrooms here, then came back and had Cape Cod Tileworks install their kitchen backsplash, and called the results fabulous.
A fireplace is a natural place for something personal. Photos show a surround in cream pebble mosaic with small fish and reeds worked into it, framed by white painted trim, the same coastal style as their backsplashes.
Not every customer needs installation. Homeowners and contractors come to Lane for help choosing tile, then have their own builder install it. One couple says they were guided to the perfect tile for two new bathrooms, and another reviewer says the owner knows her stuff.
Lane Meehan is a RISD graduate, and a builder who has worked with her for years says her design knowledge and grasp of materials have been extremely helpful.
Tom Meehan is a second-generation tile installer and a technical writer for JLC and Fine Homebuilding magazine, according to Schoolhouse Construction.
Schoolhouse Construction says it has worked with Cape Cod Tileworks for many years on many kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects, and highly recommends them.
Fish, mermaids, shells, a map of the Cape, pebble floors: their mosaics are designed for one house. 'Looking forward to recreating this look again for a new customer,' they wrote.
Cape Cod Tileworks is owned by Lane Meehan, a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, and ran from its building in Harwich for 27 years. In February 2022 the business posted that it had walked out of that building for the last time, adding that it is still here to help design your next project.
Tom Meehan is a second-generation tile installer and a technical writer for JLC and Fine Homebuilding magazine. Together they design tile and install it, from coastal pebble mosaics to clean, simple showers.

Call (508) 246-6324 and describe the room, the feel you want and any pieces you already love.
Lane draws on her RISD design training to help you choose tile, colors and any custom mosaic or mural elements.
Custom mosaic pieces, pebbles and glass are laid out by hand on paper before they go on the wall, as their photos show.
Tom, a second-generation installer, sets the tile. Or your own contractor installs it, as some customers prefer to do.
Yes. Custom work is what Cape Cod Tileworks is known for: pebble backsplashes with ceramic fish and a mermaid, a tile map of Cape Cod, carved owls and flowers among river pebbles. Lane designs each piece, and they have written that they look forward to recreating a look for a new customer.
Both. The Facebook page describes the business as design and installation. Tom Meehan, a second-generation tile installer, sets tile, and one family had their kitchen backsplash installed after buying tile for two bathrooms. Other customers have their own contractor install the tile Lane helps them choose.
In February 2022, after 27 years, the business posted that it had walked out of the building for the last time, and that it is still here to help design your next project. Google still lists 705 Main St, Harwich, so call (508) 246-6324 before visiting.
