Backsplash Installation in Texas
Some upgrades change a room. Others change how you feel in it. A backsplash, when done right, does both. It protects the walls behind your life’s daily messes — but more than that, it brings everything together. At Southwest Tile Company, we don’t just install backsplashes. We refine homes. One line, one layout, one perfect tile at a time. Since 1987, we’ve earned our place as Texas’s trusted tile experts, delivering handcrafted precision that lasts — and customer care that shows.
The Most Overlooked Upgrade in Your Home Might Be the Most Transformative
There’s a moment after we finish a backsplash when homeowners pause, take it in, and smile like the room just breathed in for the first time.
Because it did.
A backsplash seems small. But it holds visual weight. It ties together your countertops and cabinets, reflects light, frames your appliances, and catches the eye with quiet elegance.
You’ll notice it every time you walk in. Guests will too — though they won’t know why your kitchen feels complete.
Custom-Tailored For Real Homes
Design trends come and go. Cookie-cutter installs fade fast. What lasts is craftsmanship rooted in intention. We help you choose what fits your space, your lifestyle, and your vision — not just what’s trending online.
- Porcelain and ceramic for durability and low upkeep
- Glass for a clean, reflective look that opens up tight kitchens
- Marble and stone for warmth, movement, and timeless character
- Mosaics and inlays when you want the backsplash to tell its own story
We don’t just show samples and send a quote. We walk your kitchen or bath with you. We listen. We ask the right questions. Then we help you create something you’ll still love ten years from now.
And when people search for a custom tile backsplash near me, it’s us they find — because this is what we’ve been doing here for nearly four decades.
Where Precision Meets Peace of Mind
Great tile work doesn’t announce itself loudly. It’s in the even spacing, the flush edges, the way the light dances off clean grout lines. It’s in what’s not crooked. What’s not cracking. What’s not going to cost you twice.
This Is What We Build Into Every Backsplash:
- Moisture-resistant backers like HardieBacker, because your walls deserve protection beneath the beauty
- Exact pattern alignment — no lippage, no uneven spacing
- Flush corners, crisp trim, and sealed edges that don’t peel or mildew
- A full cleanup so the only thing left behind is a finished look worth showing off
This is what makes our name appear when people type backsplash tile installation Texas. And why most of our clients come from one source: word of mouth.
Kitchens. Bathrooms. Laundry Rooms. Bar Walls. We’ve Done It All.
Wherever there’s tile, we bring the same level of care. Whether it’s a cozy kitchen refresh in Tanglewood or a complete bath renovation off Camp Bowie, we adapt our approach to fit the project and the people.
We’ve installed:
- Custom backsplashes for designer kitchens
- Sleek tile walls behind freestanding tubs
- Utility sink surrounds in Texas remodels
- Regrouting and fixes for bad installs done by others
And when another contractor walks off a job or leaves you with crooked lines, we step in. We make it right — without judgment, without overcharging.
It’s About Earning Your Trust
You’ve probably heard it before. “We’re different.” “We care.” “We go above and beyond.” We believe that kind of trust is earned — not said.
So here’s how we earn it:
- Bill Lenz, our owner, still visits job sites. He’s been doing this since 1987. His standards haven’t changed — and neither has his presence.
- No subcontractors. Every installer is part of our close-knit team. All are English-speaking American citizens, insured, and trained the Southwest way.
- We’re fully accredited — including an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
- We’re here after the job’s done. If there’s ever an issue, we pick up the phone.
What Our Customers Say About Us
Posted on Sam TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company! Bill Lenz is a solid guy. Highly recommended!Posted on Gary HaseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great advice and easy to work withPosted on NTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Southwest tile company to lay some tile in a shower/tub where the drywall had crumbled. Bill came by to take a look at the repair job the drywall man did and he was frank and honest telling me the job was not done correct and it had to be redone. Of course, this is never good news but he showed me how uneven the tile would be and that the drywall might now hold up in the long run. He didn't pressure to redo but taught me about what is the right and wrong backing for tile. When it came time to install, Johnny was the installer and he was simply awesome. The finished job looks wonderful! So happy with the results. You can't tell it was a repair job. Would highly recommend this company!Posted on Southern LadyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed to have my shower retiled and grab bars installed. Not only did they do a good job but they were pleasant to work with. They were very careful to make as little mess as possible, cleaned up after themselves every day - even worked on Saturday to get the job finished as quickly as possible.Posted on Tina PomeroyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Southwest Tile Co. not only installed 16 X 32 marbleized porcelain tile beautifully (up to 2500 SQFT), they also repaired a section of previously poorly installed work. Trey and Johnny are ROCKSTARS!...true trustworthy tile setting professional maniacs. All aspects of tile setting mechanics were understood and applied: floor properly scraped for proper adhesion, proper amount of thinnest used for proper adhesion and for leveling highs and lows of concrete...proper prepping of self leveling concrete mix, expert pattern layout. They were well prepared for any situation that arose with proper tools. All work was performed in a timely, clean fashion, and reasonably priced. (previous tile setter violated most of these aspects...at $1.50 sqft...left a nightmare. You get what you pay for. NO comparison between the two)

Before You Go — A Few Things to Keep in Mind
- A backsplash should add value, not frustration. Done wrong, it’ll drive you crazy. Done right, it becomes a quiet showpiece.
- Not all contractors treat your home like their own. We do.
- You shouldn’t have to babysit a crew, chase down timelines, or clean up after tradesmen. That’s our job — and we take it seriously.
