Eastex-Jensen Tile Installation
the Eastex-Jensen 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 Eastex-Jensen
- Waterproofing or crack isolation where the location calls for it
- Layout set so cuts land where they read best
- Tile set with full coverage, no hollow spots
- Grout and sealed movement joints to finish
- Substrate checked and made flat and sound
Homes in Eastex-Jensen share the conditions of the surrounding Harris County communities: the same soils, the same weather load, the same building eras. Large-format tile needs a flatter substrate than most existing floors here start out.
The process is deliberately boring. Estimate first, in person and free. Scope second, in writing. Then the tile installation itself, and finally a walk of the finished work with you at your Eastex-Jensen home before the job is called done.
