Tile Installation Near Dayton, TX
Most tile installation problems we get called out to in Dayton trace back to preparation rather than product. Movement joints get left out most often, and they are what stop cracked grout lines on slab-on-grade homes. That is where our time goes on a Liberty County job, and it is why the finish is still holding up years later.
Our Tile Installation scope in Dayton
- Grout and sealed movement joints to finish
- Substrate checked and made flat and sound
- Waterproofing or crack isolation where the location calls for it

- Tile set with full coverage, no hollow spots
