Tile Installation & Repair

Tile work that's done wrong is impossible to ignore — and expensive to fix twice.

Tile is one of the most unforgiving surfaces in a home. When it's done well, it looks sharp, holds up for years, and adds real value to the space. When it's done poorly, the problems are immediate and visible — uneven tiles, inconsistent grout lines, cracked corners, and sections that start to lift within months of installation. At Xpert Handyman, tile installation is treated as precision work because that's exactly what it is. Mickey has been setting tile in Tyler homes and commercial properties across East Texas for over 20 years, and the standard on every job is the same — level surface, consistent spacing, clean cuts, and grout lines that stay uniform from the first tile to the last.

Xpert Handyman handles tile installation and repair across kitchens, bathrooms, showers, entryways, laundry rooms, and any other space in the home where tile is the right surface for the job. Floor tile, wall tile, shower surrounds, backsplashes — each application requires a different approach, and Mickey has worked through all of them. Every installation starts with a properly prepared surface. Mortar is mixed correctly, tiles are set level and square, and every cut at walls, fixtures, and edges is made clean. Grout is applied consistently and sealed where the application calls for it.

Whether you need a brand-new tile installation or repairs to an existing floor or wall that's cracking, lifting, or coming apart at the grout lines, Xpert Handyman handles it directly — no subcontracting, no sending someone less experienced to do the work. If tile in your Tyler home needs attention, this is the call to make. Reach out at (469) 673-7545 for a free estimate and let's look at what the job actually involves.

Why Choose Xpert Handyman for Tile Installation & Repair

Precision Work on Every Job — Tile installation is one of the trades where the difference between good and bad work is visible the moment you walk into the room. Xpert Handyman sets every tile level, keeps grout lines consistent, and makes clean cuts at every edge and fixture — because that's what the finished surface actually requires.

20+ Years of Tile Experience — Mickey has been setting tile in East Texas homes and commercial spaces for over two decades. That covers every tile type, every surface application, and every challenge that comes up when working in real kitchens, bathrooms, and showers with existing plumbing, irregular layouts, and tight cuts.

Surface Prep Is Always Done First — The most common reason tile fails is a substrate that wasn't prepared correctly before installation began. Xpert Handyman checks every surface for levelness, stability, and moisture before a single tile is set — and corrects anything that would cause problems after the job is done.

No Payment Until the Job Is Complete — You don't pay until the tile is set, the grout is finished, and everything looks exactly the way it should. That policy holds whether it's a single backsplash or a full shower and floor installation. The work earns the payment — not the other way around.
