Tiling Homes in Alamo Heights
Alamo Heights homes are some of the oldest in the metro: 1920s to 1950s bungalows and Tudors near Broadway and the Olmos Basin, many on pier-and-beam rather than slab. That changes how we tile. Wood subfloors need a cement board or uncoupling membrane layer and a stiffness check before tile goes down, and original bathrooms often hide plaster, old mud beds and out-of-square walls that have to be corrected before a modern large-format tile will read straight.
Most of our Alamo Heights work is bathroom renovations in those older homes, marble and mosaic floors that suit the period, kitchen backsplashes in remodeled 78209 kitchens, and travertine patios behind the deeper lots in Terrell Hills. We also handle the Olmos Park and Terrell Hills addresses that share the same housing stock and the same slab-versus-pier question.

Outdoor tile →Prep First, Then the Pretty Part
Level, Flat, Square
We prep the substrate first: self-leveling over slab dips, backer board or foam board on walls, and layout lines before a single tile is set.
Waterproofing That Lasts
Showers get a proper waterproofing system (sheet membrane or liquid-applied) and a pre-slope, not just cement board and hope.
Clean Cuts & Straight Grout
Wet-saw cuts, consistent joints, leveling clips on large-format tile and grout matched to the design.
Written Quote First
Materials, labor, demo and haul-away itemized before we start, so the number does not move once the old tile is out.

Yes. Hexagon and basketweave mosaics, subway with a pencil liner and honed marble suit the 1920s to 1950s houses and are all standard work for us.
