Built for Tile Installers
Tile work photographs beautifully. Trailfire turns your completed backsplashes, shower surrounds, and floor installations into stunning visual campaigns that sell your craftsmanship.
Tile is the centerpiece of every kitchen and bathroom renovation. Capture referrals from happy homeowners whose guests always ask who did the tile work.
After completing a tile project, automatically send postcards to nearby homes. Neighbors planning their own remodel will see your work is right next door.
Why Tiling is different
Tiling is one of the most craft-intensive interior finishes — grout lines, lippage, and pattern alignment can make or break a kitchen or bathroom. Generic review tools don't capture the photo-driven sales cycle, the substrate-prep quality differentiation, or the specialty install (heated floors, mosaic, large-format) upsells.
Tile customers compare grout lines and pattern alignment in photos before they call. Trailfire prompts photo uploads on every install and surfaces them prominently — every customer's tile becomes evidence of craft quality.
Cheap tile installers skip substrate prep (waterproofing membrane, cement board); the floor fails in 2-3 years. Trailfire surfaces 'they prepped the substrate properly' and 'still flawless at year 5' reviews — winning customers burned by previous installations.
A standard tile install is $8/sf. Heated floors add $5-$10/sf. Large-format tile installs require specialty leveling and command $12-$18/sf. Trailfire's drip marketing surfaces these specialty offerings to past customers.

Built for the way tiling actually works
Tile is a visual trade. Trailfire prompts customers to attach 2–3 photos with their review, so your Google profile and Yelp listing show finished work — not just star ratings.
Half your work comes from remodelers and designers. Trailfire tags the source on each job and triggers a thank-you note plus referral ask — turning a one-time intro into a steady referral pipe.
Kitchen and bath remodels cluster by neighborhood and home age. Postcards around every job hit homes most likely to be next on the remodel list.
