Frequently asked questions.

Tile is the best option for wet areas — it's fully water resistant and unfazed by standing water. LVP is rated for bathrooms, but prolonged standing water can seep into the seams and damage the subfloor.

Installed, LVP typically runs $3–$10 per square foot. Tile runs $5–$40 per square foot, depending heavily on installation complexity and subfloor prep — every floor is different, which is why we quote after measuring.

Yes — if the existing surface is flat and level, LVP can go directly over old tile with no tear-out.

LVP lasts 10 to 25 years depending on the thickness of the protective wear layer. Tile lasts 20 to 50+ years with proper maintenance, though grout lines may need periodic cleaning or resealing.

Usually luxury vinyl plank — it handles scratches and accidents better than most alternatives. Bring it up when we measure and we'll talk through the trade-offs.

Most rentals do best with LVP or sheet vinyl for easy cleanup and fast turnarounds. We'll match the pick to traffic and budget.

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old flooring, plus flattening, repairs and moisture checks, are part of the scope we quote — that's what decides whether the new floor still looks flat in three years.

It depends on scope, square footage and how much prep the subfloor needs. We confirm the schedule after measuring.

A ballpark for finishing out a shower ranges from $5,000 to $10,000, depending on size and materials. We confirm a firm number after measuring and scoping the job.

Yes. Some builders shy away from it because of foundation movement, but with an uncoupling membrane and extra subfloor material the assembly absorbs the natural shifting and deflection of the wood framing. Pier-and-beam is common in older Central Texas homes, and we install over it regularly.

Both are easy to clean, but polished tile needs more day-to-day wiping — it shows soap scum, fingerprints and water spots more readily than matte.

Yes. We do recommend sealing it to help protect against food and grease stains.

Yes. We recommend a matte finish on floors, and either polished or matte finish on walls.

The timeline depends on size, tile choice, and details like niches, benches or patterns. After measurements and scope, we'll give you a clear schedule.

Yes. We commonly install niches, benches, accent bands and feature tile as part of shower builds and other tile projects.

Pricing varies by size, material, layout complexity, surface prep, waterproofing needs for showers, and finish details. We quote after confirming scope and measurements.

We carry quartz and granite countertops in a range of colors and finishes. Visit our Smithville showroom to compare actual slabs and edge profiles before you commit.

A typical kitchen countertop installation takes one to two days once the material is in. Lead times on the slab itself vary by product — we'll give you a clear timeline at quote.

Yes. We handle sink cutouts, faucet holes and a variety of edge profiles as part of the countertop installation.

Yes. Bring a photo, paint color, cabinet finish or sample and we'll narrow options by durability, upkeep and budget.

Both are low maintenance when installed right. LVP is warmer and softer underfoot, and tile is a great fit for wet areas and heat.

Yes. We coordinate finishes so the space looks intentional rather than assembled.

We start with the room and your goals, then measure and confirm materials, schedule the install, and finish with a walkthrough.

Yes. We help select and install flooring rated for commercial traffic levels — we'll match the product to the space's use, subfloor condition and expected wear.

Yes. We work directly with builders, GCs and property managers on commercial projects.

We install LVP, vinyl plank, carpet tile, sheet vinyl and other commercial-grade flooring suited for offices, retail spaces, rental properties and light commercial build-outs.
