Your Greater Fondren Southwest Tile Installation Crew
the Greater Fondren Southwest 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 Greater Fondren Southwest
- 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
- Waterproofing or crack isolation where the location calls for it
Greater Fondren Southwest is one of the City of Houston's designated super neighborhoods, which means city permitting and inspection rules apply rather than a suburban city's. We confirm what a given scope needs before work starts.
We do not quote tile installation sight unseen. Someone comes out to Greater Fondren Southwest, measures and inspects, and you get a scope that says what is included and what is not before you commit to anything.
