Frequently asked
How much does tile installation cost in DFW?
DFW tile installed ranges $9–$15 per sq ft for mid-grade porcelain, $14–$22 per sq ft for large-format (24-inch or larger), and $18–$28+ per sq ft for natural stone or mosaic. Shower tile with full waterproofing typically runs $2,500–$6,500 depending on shower size and tile choice.
What waterproofing system do you use for showers?
Schluter Kerdi or Wedi sheet membrane on every wet shower. Both are warrantied systems we register in your name at handoff. We don't rely on liquid waterproofing alone — long-term failure rate is too high.
Can you install large-format tile (24x48 or bigger)?
Yes. Large-format tile requires a slab flatness of 1/8 inch over 10 feet and the right thinset — we grind, level, and back-butter every piece. The crew sets large-format with leveling clips to prevent lippage between tiles.
Do you do mosaic and herringbone patterns?
Yes. Mosaic, herringbone, chevron, basketweave, and custom inlays are routine work. Pattern layout adds 15–30% to the install time but no premium on materials beyond what the pattern itself costs.
Is the tile work warrantied?
Three-year workmanship warranty. Schluter or Wedi waterproofing carries the manufacturer system warranty registered in your name. Tile and grout carry manufacturer warranty.
Why TrueForm for DFW tile
Tile is a forever finish if it's set right and a callback risk if it isn't. We level every substrate before tile, set every wet shower with a warrantied Schluter or Wedi membrane, and use leveling clips on large-format tile to prevent lippage. Grout joints are sized to the tile rectification spec — a calibrated porcelain plank doesn't need the same 3/16-inch joint that a hand-made ceramic does. Silicone, not grout, at every change-of-plane joint (wall-to-floor, wall-to-wall corners) so normal building movement doesn't crack the grout line. Manufacturer warranties on tile, grout, and membrane pass through to you at handoff.
