Ceramic tile remains one of the most popular finishes for kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor living spaces in the Alamo City. Its durability, timeless style, and easy maintenance make it ideal for the hot, humid climate of South Texas. Yet many homeowners hesitate because the estimating and installation process can feel unpredictable. That’s where CountBricks transforms the experience. By combining AI-driven blueprint takeoffs with real-time material pricing and a vetted network of tile craftsmen, we deliver faster, clearer, and more affordable residential construction results.
• Resists heat and moisture common to Central Texas summers
• Stands up to heavy foot traffic from patios to playrooms
• Offers unlimited design options from Spanish Saltillo to sleek porcelain looks
• Boosts resale value with a finish buyers recognize as premium
• Requires minimal upkeep compared to hardwood or carpet
Inaccurate Measurements: Manual takeoffs often miss alcoves, closet transitions, or stair risers, leading to costly reorders and project delays. CountBricks’ AI scans PDFs or photos of your plans and calculates precise square footage in seconds.
Price Volatility: Tile, thin-set, and grout prices change weekly. CountBricks pulls live material costs from local suppliers so your estimate reflects today’s market, not last month’s flyer.
Scheduling Conflicts: Finding a crew that’s available when the tile arrives is tricky. Our platform pairs you with proven tile installers who commit to your timeline—and our system automatically updates the schedule if products ship early or late.
1. Upload your floor plan or room photos to CountBricks.com/services
2. Select “ceramic tile in San Antonio” from the material library and choose your preferred pattern, grout line width, and trim details
3. Receive an instant AI estimate that includes demolition, substrate prep, waterproofing, tile, grout, and sealing
4. Approve with one click—our platform converts the estimate into a professional PDF quote carrying your branding or ours
5. Track deliveries, crew assignments, and daily progress in the CountBricks dashboard until final punch-out
• Tile size and pattern complexity—herringbone or diagonal layouts require more cuts and labor
• Subfloor condition—cracked slabs or uneven plywood may need additional underlayment
• Waterproofing level—showers and exterior patios demand specialized membranes
• Access and staging—second-story bathrooms add transport time for materials and debris removal
• Grout type—epoxy grout costs more but resists stains in high-traffic kitchens
Entry-level 12”x12” ceramic floor tile installed: $7-$9 per square foot
Designer wood-look planks with upgraded grout: $10-$14 per square foot
Custom shower walls with niches and mosaic accents: $18-$25 per square foot
With CountBricks, you see a line-item breakdown for each component so there are zero surprises when the final invoice arrives.
• Always acclimate tile and setting materials to on-site temperature for 24 hours
• Use a self-leveling compound on slabs poured before 1990—they often slope toward the garage
• Mix thin-set in small batches to maintain pot life during South Texas heat waves
• Back-butter large-format tiles to avoid hollow spots that can crack
• Seal grout three days after installation to repel the limestone-heavy water typical in San Antonio

When the Ramirez family decided to replace 300 sq ft of aging vinyl in their Stone Oak home, they wanted the warmth of wood with the toughness of ceramic. Within minutes of uploading their floor plan, CountBricks detected three pantry jogs that a previous contractor’s quote had ignored—saving an estimated 40 sq ft of waste tile.
Project Metrics
• Tile selected: 6”x36” wood-look ceramic planks
• Substrate prep: 1/4” cement board with anti-fracture membrane

The same workflow powers bathroom remodels, outdoor kitchens, and even accent walls. Because CountBricks stores your tile choices and room dimensions, you can generate follow-up estimates—say, for a matching laundry room—without another site visit.
• Ask your installer to blend cartons from multiple dye lots for a natural look
• Opt for rapid-set thin-set on summer jobs to minimize downtime between rows
