Quality Tile Installation Starts With a Team You Can Trust
Tile is a permanent decision, so it helps to know who’s doing the work. Austin Painting & Drywall is a BBB accredited business and commercially insured, and OSHA 10/30 training covers every employee, subcontractor, and manager on your project. A full-time project manager runs the job, from layout and prep to the final grout line.
Tile Installation in Austin TX, From Bare Surface to Finished Grout Line
Tile looks like the finish, but the real work happens underneath. The surface has to be flat, sound, and dry. The layout has to be planned before the first piece goes down. And the grout lines have to stay straight across the whole space. Skip any of those and the tile shows it within a year.
Because drywall and paint are daily trades here, the wall or floor under your tile gets the same attention as the tile itself. Weak board gets repaired before a single piece is set, and the room around the tile gets painted by the same crew, so there's nothing left unfinished when you walk through it.
services we offer
What Tile Installation Covers, Surface by Surface
Tile goes on floors, walls, and showers, and each one needs a different approach. These are the six services that make up a full tile project, all handled by one crew and one project manager.
Tile Removal and Re-Tiling
Old, cracked, or dated tile has to come off before new tile goes on. The old material is removed, the surface underneath is checked, and anything damaged is repaired before the new tile is set. This step keeps the new installation from inheriting the problems that caused the old tile to fail.
Shower and Tub Surrounds
Surrounds see water every day, so the surface behind the tile and the grout lines matter most. The crew sets the tile surround to the layout you choose, with niches, benches, and accent rows handled as part of the scope. Plumbing connections are handled by a plumber you coordinate separately, and the tile work picks up once that rough-in is done.
Wall Tile, Backsplashes, and Accent Walls
Wall tile protects and decorates, from a kitchen backsplash that handles splashes to an accent wall that anchors a room. Cuts around outlets and corners are planned so lines stay straight and edges sit clean. The crew finishes the surrounding walls with paint so the tile blends into the room instead of stopping at a rough edge.
Floor Tile Installation
Tile floors take the most wear, so they need a flat, solid surface and a layout planned from the doorway in. Your project manager measures the room and sets the pattern with you before anything is cut. Ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone all handle differently underfoot, and the right choice depends on traffic, moisture, and how the room connects to the rest of the house.
Surface Prep and Drywall Behind the Tile
A tile job is only as good as what it sits on. Weak or water-damaged board gets fixed with drywall repair, and sections that can't be saved are replaced entirely. The crew handles this prep work in-house because it's the same trade they do on every other job.
Grout, Sealing, and Finishing
Grout and sealing finish the surface and protect it. Lines are kept consistent, joints are cleaned, and natural stone in particular gets sealed to resist stains and moisture. The room is painted around the tile, and bathroom accessories like towel bars and mirrors go up once everything is dry.

problems we solved
Tile Problems a Proper Installation Puts Behind You
Tile fails in predictable ways: it cracks, loosens, stains, or sits uneven. These are the problems homeowners call about most.
Cracked or Loose Tile.
Tile on a weak surface moves and breaks. The crew makes the surface sound first, so the tile has something solid to bond to and stays where it belongs.
Tile That Sits Uneven.
Uneven edges catch socks and feet and look sloppy from across the room. A flat surface and careful setting keep every tile level with the ones next to it.
Grout That Cracks or Stains.
Grout takes a beating in wet and high-traffic rooms. Lines are kept consistent, filled properly, and sealed where the material calls for it so they hold up to daily use.
Moisture Behind the Tile.
Water that gets behind tile ruins the wall or floor where nobody sees it until the damage is serious. Soft board is repaired, and larger water damage is addressed through water mitigation services before the new tile goes on.
Old Tile That's Stubborn to Remove.
Dated tile can be difficult to pull off, and removal can damage what's underneath. The surface is checked and repaired after tear-out so the new tile starts on a clean foundation.
A Room That Still Looks Unfinished.
New tile beside tired paint doesn't read as complete. Painting and finishing around the tile ties the whole room together so it looks like one project, not two separate ones.

Travis Hawk started the company after a decade as an insurance adjuster reviewing construction claims. That background gave him a clear picture of what happens when surface work gets rushed. The company covers Travis and Williamson counties, with North Austin and Central Austin as the primary markets. You can meet the team behind the work.
