Built for tile installers with pattern and waste built in.
Suparate is a tile installer estimating app for tile count, grout, thinset, substrate prep, waterproofing, pattern surcharges, trim, and waste. It gives tile estimating software that helps you quote floors, showers, backsplashes, and stone work with fewer unpaid extras.
Sound familiar?
Tile size and pattern change labor
Straight lay, diagonal, herringbone, mosaic, large format, shower niches, and stone all have different production rates. A basic per-sq-ft number can miss the skill and time involved.
Substrate problems show up early
Out-of-flat floors, bad backer board, moisture, cracked slabs, and failed old tile can change the job before the first tile is set. Prep needs to be visible in the estimate.
Trim, grout, and waterproofing add up
Profiles, bullnose, waterproofing membranes, grout type, sealer, leveling clips, and layout details can become unpaid extras if they are not listed.
Here's how Suparate fits your workflow
Capture surfaces before demo
Take photos of floors, showers, backsplashes, substrate, drains, corners, transitions, and access. Suparate keeps those details with the estimate so the finished proposal is specific.
- Photo notes for floors, walls, showers, and backsplashes
- Separate lines for demo, substrate, waterproofing, tile, grout, and trim
- Pattern and tile size notes included in the scope
- Allowances for leveling, repair, and hidden substrate issues
Price patterns and upgrades clearly
Clients often choose the tile after asking for a price. Suparate helps you show how material, pattern, trim, waterproofing, and grout choices affect the final number.
- Pattern surcharges written as line items
- Waterproofing and substrate prep separated from tile setting
- Digital approval before tile is ordered
- Change orders for tile changes, niches, and layout upgrades
Collect deposits before special-order tile
Tile and stone orders can be expensive and hard to return. Suparate lets you collect deposits, track balances, and invoice completion from one job record.
- Deposits for material-heavy tile jobs
- Milestone invoices for demo, prep, set, grout, and final
- Payment status visible by project
- Approved scope stored with tile and grout notes

A proposal that reflects skilled work
