Can you handle other work while you are here?

Usually yes. We run painting, exterior repair and carpentry, doors and trim, and remodeling, so related Minnetex work can go on the same scope instead of a second trip.

Do you take on small tile installation jobs?

We do. Small jobs done right are how most of our long-term Minnetex customers found us, and many come back later for the bigger scopes.

How soon can you start in Minnetex?

Fast for a look, honest about the start. Your Minnetex walkthrough is usually days away; the work start depends on the season and goes in writing.

Do I need a permit for tile installation in Minnetex?

It depends on the scope. Purely cosmetic work usually needs no permit, while anything structural, electrical or plumbing-related often does. We check the rules that apply to your address and handle what is required before work begins.

Are you licensed and insured?

Licensed & Insured. We are happy to provide current documentation before any work begins at your Minnetex home.

What does tile installation actually include?

Short version for Minnetex homeowners: the preparation is in the scope, not an upsell. Waterproofing or crack isolation where the location calls for it.

Do you serve all of Harris County?

Yes, Harris County is core coverage for us, Minnetex included, along with the neighboring counties in the Houston metro. If a project sits outside it, we say so on the first call instead of padding the price.

Minnetex Tile Installation

the Minnetex 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.

What the work involves

Homes in Minnetex 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.
