Tile Flooring Installation · Hurst, TX

Tile flooring installation in Hurst often starts with removing tile that is already there. In houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the old floor may be ceramic set in a thick mortar bed, sheet vinyl or newer tile glued over an earlier layer, and what comes up decides how much prep the new floor needs.
Our main tile flooring installation page compares porcelain and ceramic and covers flatness and movement joints. Tear-out of old tile, mortar beds and thinset is described on our old flooring removal page.
The 1970s were Hurst's busiest building decade. Census estimates count about 3,700 homes from those years and another 3,400 from the 1960s, together more than 40 percent of the city's housing (American Community Survey, 2020 to 2024). Many of those houses have had their kitchens and bathrooms redone at least once, so a tile job here often means removing one or two earlier floors before we can see the concrete.
Once the slab is bare, we look for what half a century on North Texas clay tends to leave behind: hairline cracks, a crack running from the corner of a doorway, a ridge where part of the slab has lifted and patches where a plumber opened the floor. Each one gets mapped. Stable hairline cracks get a crack isolation or uncoupling membrane. Wider cracks, or ones that keep opening or step up on one side, get a foundation check before any tile is set. Large porcelain needs a flatter slab than the smaller tile common in older homes, so we price grinding and leveling in the quote instead of adding them later. If old vinyl or black adhesive turns up under a tile layer, we stop and recommend asbestos testing before it is broken up.
How we set tile, step by step, is on the page linked above. For a Hurst kitchen, bath or entry, the quote lists:
Why choose us
7,050
Hurst homes built 1960 to 1979 (ACS 2020-2024)
Seven thousand homes from the 1960s and 1970s add up to a lot of slabs that have cracked, settled or been cut open for plumbing repairs. We map what we find, write the treatment for each crack into the quote and tell you plainly when a foundation check should come before tile. You see the prep plan before you pick a single tile.
A118.15
ANSI standard for improved modified thinset
Large porcelain and natural stone need a mortar rated for the job. We use thinsets that meet ANSI A118.4 or A118.15, as the tile maker specifies, and we lift a tile now and then during setting to confirm coverage. Hollow spots under big tile are where cracks and loose corners begin, so full coverage is part of how we work.

FAQ
Yes. Mortar beds are heavy and slow to break out, so removal takes longer than pulling thinset tile, and we price it on its own line. Taking out the bed can also lower the floor, which we bring back up with patching or leveling. Dust controls stay in place the whole time, since breaking tile releases silica.
Sometimes, if the old tile is flat, fully bonded and free of cracks, and if the added height works at doors and appliances. Tile set over a cracked or hollow floor will crack too, and older kitchens often have both problems. We tap the old floor and check flatness before recommending either path.
