Tile Installation in Houston, TX
SOSA Tile & Remodeling began as a tile company. Our founder spent about two years as a professional tile installer before starting SOSA in 2015, and tile is still the craft the business is built on. We install floor, wall, and shower tile for homeowners across Houston, Memorial, Cypress, Katy, Sugar Land, and Missouri City.
Tile Showers
A tile shower is only as good as what’s behind it. Every shower we build gets proper waterproofing behind the tile and a floor sloped to the drain. We build walk-in and curbless showers, tub-to-shower conversions, tiled niches and benches, pebble and mosaic shower floors, and tub surrounds. See bathroom remodeling for full bathroom projects.
Floor Tile
Porcelain and ceramic tile don’t swell or cup in Houston humidity, which makes them one of the longest-lasting floors for local homes. We level the subfloor before tile goes down, because most cracked tile and uneven edges come from skipping that step. We install porcelain, ceramic, wood-look plank and large-format tile in kitchens, baths, entries and whole homes.
Backsplashes
A new backsplash is one of the fastest ways to change how a kitchen feels. We install subway, zellige-style, mosaic and slab-look tile, with clean edges around outlets, windows and cabinet ends. See kitchen remodeling for full kitchen projects.
Mosaics and Accent Walls
Mosaics, feature walls and fireplace surrounds are where a tile installer’s skill shows most. One of our favorite projects was a fully custom mosaic recreating the NASA insignia, set by hand piece by piece. Popular choices include hexagon and penny-round floors, marble-look feature walls and patterned niches.
Tile Removal and Replacement
We remove old tile, level the subfloor or rebuild shower walls, and install the new tile as one project, so you don’t have to coordinate separate crews.
Why the Prep Matters
Most tile failures come from what’s underneath: an uneven subfloor, missing waterproofing, or the wrong setting material. We level and prepare the surface, use the right membrane for wet areas, and plan the layout so cuts land in clean, balanced places.
How Long Does Tile Installation Take?
A backsplash, a shower, and whole-home floors are very different jobs. Timing depends on square footage, demolition, and leveling.
What Does Tile Installation Cost in Houston?
Cost depends on the square footage, the tile you choose, and how much demolition and leveling the space needs. As a reference point, custom tile installation in a shower typically runs $1,800 to $6,800, according to Angi’s 2026 data. Tile material alone varies widely:
| Tile material | Typical cost per sq ft (2026) |
|---|---|
| Porcelain tile | $0.50 to $30 |
| Stone tile | $5 to $50 |
| Glass tile | $10.50 to $25 |
| Porcelain slab | $10 to $30 |

Tile Installation FAQs
Can you remove my old tile and install new tile?
Yes. We handle demolition, subfloor leveling, and the new installation as one project.
Is tile a good choice for Houston homes?
Yes. Porcelain and ceramic tile don’t swell with humidity, which makes them one of the most durable floors for Houston. See our Houston flooring guide.
Do you waterproof tile showers?
Yes. Every shower we build gets proper waterproofing behind the tile and a floor sloped to the drain, because tile and grout on their own are not waterproof.
