East Houston Tile Installation
the East Houston area of Houston sits inside Harris County, and the housing stock changes street to street. We set the tile installation scope after looking at your house rather than off a price sheet, because Large-format tile needs a flatter substrate than most existing floors here start out.
Our Tile Installation scope in East Houston
- Tile set with full coverage, no hollow spots
- Grout and sealed movement joints to finish
- Substrate checked and made flat and sound
- Waterproofing or crack isolation where the location calls for it
- Layout set so cuts land where they read best
