In short
Superior Tile Contracting installs large format porcelain tile and slabs throughout Galveston and Galveston County, TX.

Why Galveston trusts Superior Tile
Salt air, sand and storm surge make Galveston a tough place for flooring — and the perfect place for porcelain. Elevated beach houses get lightweight, deflection-checked assemblies, and every exterior install uses frost- and salt-resistant porcelain with flexible, polymer-modified mortars.
Building conditions in Galveston
Coastal homes are frequently elevated or built on pier-and-beam framing, which means wood subfloors that must be stiffened to the deflection requirements for large-format porcelain tile. We verify joist span and deflection, add plywood layers where needed and use uncoupling membranes rated for wood substrates before setting large format porcelain.
Coastal humidity makes substrate moisture testing and compatible setting materials important for large-format porcelain installations. Finish and joint selection are reviewed for each residential or commercial interior.

Large Format Tile Supply & Installation in Galveston
We do one thing, and we do it at the highest level: supply and install large format porcelain tile and slabs — for homes and commercial spaces.
How is large format tile installed in Galveston?
Plan the base, layout, joints, and cure time before tile work starts. Use the Tile Council of North America (TCNA) Handbook to choose a method for the space. ANSI A108.19 covers gauged porcelain panels. The steps below show how we plan and carry out the work, from the first site check to the final walk-through.
Step 01
On-Site Assessment
A senior installer visits, photographs the substrate, takes laser-level readings and discusses tile choice, layout and timing. No charge, no obligation.
Step 02
Written Installation Plan
Material selection, layout, substrate requirements and the installation schedule are reviewed together before work begins.
Step 03
Substrate Prep & Waterproofing
Grinding and self-leveling to TCNA flatness (1/8″ over 10 ft), uncoupling membrane, Kerdi-Band corners and bonded waterproofing in all wet areas.
Step 04
Tile Setting with Lippage Control
Large format tiles are back-buttered and set with Levtec™ clips; cuts are made on a wet saw for chip-free edges; layouts are dry-laid first to balance sightlines.
Step 05
Grout, Seal & 2-Year Warranty
Color-matched grout, penetrating sealer where required, on-site cleanup and a written 2-year workmanship guarantee handed to you in person.
Step 06
Final Walkthrough & 30-Day Check-In
We walk the finished installation with you, hand over a written care plan, and follow up at 30 days to inspect grout lines and resolve any concerns.

Large format tile FAQ — Galveston, TX
Do you install large format tile in East End Historic District, Pirates Beach, Jamaica Beach, Silk Stocking District?
Yes. We serve all of Galveston and Galveston County, including East End Historic District, Pirates Beach, Jamaica Beach, Silk Stocking District. Galveston is roughly 104 miles from our Willis, TX headquarters, and on-site assessments are scheduled within 2–3 business days.
Will large format tile crack on Galveston soil and foundations?
Coastal homes are frequently elevated or built on pier-and-beam framing, which means wood subfloors that must be stiffened to the deflection requirements for large-format porcelain tile. We verify joist span and deflection, add plywood layers where needed and use uncoupling membranes rated for wood substrates before setting large format porcelain.. With correct prep — flatness to 1/8″ over 10 ft, crack isolation and movement joints per TCNA EJ171 — large format tile performs extremely well in Galveston.
Do you supply the tile and slabs, or only install?
Both. We source large format porcelain, gauged porcelain tile panels/slabs through trade distributor partners, so Galveston clients can buy materials and installation from one accountable contractor. You are also welcome to supply your own tile — we’ll inspect it for flatness, warpage and shade consistency before installation.
How long does a large format tile project take in Galveston?
A typical 500 sq ft large format floor takes 3–5 working days including prep; a slab-wall shower takes 4–7 days including waterproofing and cure times; whole-home floors usually take 2–3 weeks. You receive a written schedule with your quote, and a senior installer supervises your Galveston job site every day.
