In short
Superior Tile Contracting installs large format porcelain tile and slabs throughout San Marcos and Hays County, TX. We’re based about 179 miles away in Willis, schedule on-site assessments within about a week, in a dedicated crew block, and back every San Marcos project with a written project proposal, an in-house crew and a 2-year workmanship warranty.
Why San Marcos trusts Superior Tile
San Marcos sits on the I-35 corridor between Austin and San Antonio, and new communities like Kissing Tree are full of open plans ideal for large format porcelain. Downtown restaurants rely on us for durable commercial floors.
Building conditions in San Marcos
East of I-35 you’ll find expansive Blackland clay; west of the Balcones Escarpment, homes sit on limestone and thin soils. That split matters: east-side slabs need crack isolation and movement planning, while Hill Country homes often feature split levels, stem walls and stone that demand careful transitions between concrete and wood subfloors.
Central Texas summers push interior glass walls and patios to extreme temperatures. We use high-performance thin-sets (ANSI A118.15) for large format tile and porcelain slabs exposed to sun and heat, and frost-rated porcelain for exterior spaces that see occasional hard freezes.

Large Format Tile Supply & Installation in San Marcos
We do one thing, and we do it at the highest level: supply and install large format porcelain tile and slabs — for homes and commercial spaces.
How is large format tile installed in San Marcos?
Plan the base, layout, joints, and cure time before tile work starts. Use the Tile Council of North America (TCNA) Handbook to choose a method for the space. ANSI A108.19 covers gauged porcelain panels. The steps below show how we plan and carry out the work, from the first site check to the final walk-through.
Step 01
On-Site Assessment
A senior installer visits, photographs the substrate, takes laser-level readings and discusses tile choice, layout and timing. No charge, no obligation.
Step 02
Written Installation Plan
Material selection, layout, substrate requirements and the installation schedule are reviewed together before work begins.
Step 03
Substrate Prep & Waterproofing
Grinding and self-leveling to TCNA flatness (1/8″ over 10 ft), uncoupling membrane, Kerdi-Band corners and bonded waterproofing in all wet areas.
Step 04
Tile Setting with Lippage Control
Large format tiles are back-buttered and set with Levtec™ clips; cuts are made on a wet saw for chip-free edges; layouts are dry-laid first to balance sightlines.
Step 05
Grout, Seal & 2-Year Warranty
Color-matched grout, penetrating sealer where required, on-site cleanup and a written 2-year workmanship guarantee handed to you in person.
Step 06
Final Walkthrough & 30-Day Check-In
We walk the finished installation with you, hand over a written care plan, and follow up at 30 days to inspect grout lines and resolve any concerns.

Will large format tile crack on San Marcos soil and foundations?
East of I-35 you’ll find expansive Blackland clay; west of the Balcones Escarpment, homes sit on limestone and thin soils. That split matters: east-side slabs need crack isolation and movement planning, while Hill Country homes often feature split levels, stem walls and stone that demand careful transitions between concrete and wood subfloors.. With correct prep — flatness to 1/8″ over 10 ft, crack isolation and movement joints per TCNA EJ171 — large format tile performs extremely well in San Marcos.
Do you supply the tile and slabs, or only install?
Both. We source large format porcelain, gauged porcelain tile panels/slabs through trade distributor partners, so San Marcos clients can buy materials and installation from one accountable contractor. You are also welcome to supply your own tile — we’ll inspect it for flatness, warpage and shade consistency before installation.
How long does a large format tile project take in San Marcos?
A typical 500 sq ft large format floor takes 3–5 working days including prep; a slab-wall shower takes 4–7 days including waterproofing and cure times; whole-home floors usually take 2–3 weeks. You receive a written schedule with your quote, and a senior installer supervises your San Marcos job site every day.
