Tile that holds up. For decades.
Porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone tile. Floors, walls, master baths, kitchens. Installed with proper subfloor prep, matched grout, and sealing — the things that make tile last.
Tile types breakdown
Porcelain is denser and harder than ceramic. Best for high-traffic floors, wet areas, and outdoor applications. More forgiving long-term.
Ceramic is softer, more affordable, easier to cut and shape. Best for walls and lower-traffic floors.
Glass is decorative — typically used for accents, backsplashes, shower walls. Beautiful, but not where you’d put a couch leg.
Planning a master bath remodel?
Shower tile is its own conversation. Waterproofing the underlying surface (Schluter Kerdi or RedGard), tile selection (large-format reduces grout lines, small-format improves slip resistance on shower floors), and grout sealing on day one and annually after — these matter more for shower tile than for floor tile.
We handle complete master bath flooring projects. Bring photos of what you’re imagining and we’ll show you what’s realistic for your space.
What about the grout?
Grout is the part most homeowners worry about — and it’s a fair concern.
Modern epoxy grout and well-sealed cement grout last 10+ years before needing re-sealing. Annual sealing on cement grout is good practice. Stain-resistant grouts are available — we’ll explain options at your estimate.
Crack-isolation membrane on slab installs
Slabs in DFW move with the seasons — clay soil expands when it rains, contracts in drought. Without a crack-isolation membrane between the slab and the tile, hairline slab cracks telegraph right through the tile. We install a membrane (Ditra or RedGard SLF, depending on the tile and the substrate) on every grade-level tile floor before the thinset goes down. It’s not optional in our book — it’s the difference between tile that lasts decades and tile that cracks in three years.
We also moisture-test the slab before tile setting. Concrete moisture under thinset can cause efflorescence (white mineral haze through grout) and bond failure. Twenty minutes of testing prevents months of frustration.
PEI rating — what to ask for
PEI is the abrasion rating on porcelain tile. It tells you how much foot traffic the surface can take before it visibly wears.
- PEI 3: residential floors — fine for most homes
- PEI 4: entry/heavy traffic — entryways, kitchens with constant traffic, busy mudrooms
- PEI 5: commercial — rarely needed in homes
Most builders use PEI 3 — that’s usually enough. But if you have dogs and kids running through the kitchen all day, ask about PEI 4. The price difference is small; the durability difference is real.
What’s included in your install
- Baseboard pull and reinstall (not shoe-mold over the new floor) — keeps the line clean
- Door undercutting where the new floor’s height requires it
- Transitions to existing flooring — T-mold, reducer, threshold, stair-nose as needed
- HEPA-vacuum dust containment during tile demo (especially important — tile demo is the dustiest part of any flooring job)
- Furniture moved by our crew — you don’t lift a finger
- Demo and disposal of the old flooring

What to expect from us
Are you licensed and insured?
We carry liability insurance; documentation available on request.
How long have you been doing this?
Over a decade across DFW.
How do you handle problems after the install?
We stand behind our work. Specifics come with your written estimate.
What's the timeline for a typical tile install?
Tile takes longer than carpet or LVP because of mortar drying and grout setting time. We give you a realistic timeline with your written estimate.
Do you handle furniture and dust containment?
Yes. Tile demo creates more dust than other flooring — we set up plastic sheeting and HEPA vacuums to keep it contained.
What if you find subfloor issues mid-project?
We stop, walk you through what we found, and explain options before any extra work. Tile is especially sensitive to subfloor flatness — we'll address it before laying tile.
Do you handle removal of old flooring?
Yes. Demo and disposal are part of the install.
Is the price fixed once you give me an estimate?
Yes. The written estimate is the price you pay.
