Michael Rodriguez has been setting tile, cutting stone, and remodeling homes for over 20 years. He started M7R Tile and Stone Services because he wanted to build something he could put his name on — a company where the work speaks for itself and the customer never has to wonder if it was done right. Every project, from a single bathroom floor to a full outdoor kitchen, gets the same level of attention. That standard hasn't changed since day one, and it won't.
M7R serves homeowners in Hockley, Waller, Cypress, The Woodlands, and the surrounding area. This is not a large regional company routing calls to whoever is available — when you reach out, you're talking to Michael directly. Being fully insured means your home and your investment are protected throughout the job. The work is backed by the kind of accountability that only comes when the owner is also the one showing up to your door.
Our Team
Michael Rodriguez — Owner & Tile and Stone Specialist
Michael handles everything from the initial walkthrough to the final install. With over 20 years working in tile, stone, masonry, and remodeling, he brings a level of experience to each job that shows in the details. His approach is straightforward — assess the space honestly, plan the work carefully, and deliver results that hold up long term.

A bathroom remodel is one of the highest-return projects a homeowner can do. We handle the full scope — demo, waterproofing, tile layout, and finish work. Whether you want a clean modern look or something more classic, the design fits your space. The result is a bathroom that works better and looks exactly how you pictured it.

Your kitchen sees more use than any other room in the house — it should look and function like it. We work on backsplashes, floors, and tile surrounds to modernize the space without overcomplicating it. Every cut is precise and every layout is planned before a single tile goes down. A well-tiled kitchen holds up for decades and adds real value to your home.

A shower that isn't properly waterproofed or set will fail — usually in the walls behind what you can see. We do this work the right way, with correct substrate prep and grout that won't crack or crumble in two years. Whether it's a walk-in shower, tub surround, or full bath-and-shower combo, the tile work is built to last. No shortcuts, no callbacks.

An outdoor kitchen extends your living space and adds real usability to your backyard. We build with materials that hold up against Texas heat, rain, and everything in between. From countertops to tile surrounds and base structures, every element is built for the outdoors. It's the kind of upgrade that changes how you use your home year-round.

A well-built firepit does more than look good — it becomes the center of your outdoor space. We design and install firepits using stone and masonry materials that handle high heat without degrading. The work is clean, structured, and built to stay in place for years. Whether it's a simple circle or a more custom shape, we build it to your space.

Pavers done right stay flat, drain properly, and hold their look for years. We prep the base correctly so there's no sinking, shifting, or uneven joints six months down the road. Driveways, walkways, patios — each layout is planned to match the grade of your yard and the style of your home. The difference between good and bad paver work shows within one Texas rain season.

Travertine is a natural stone that requires skill to cut, set, and seal correctly. We work with it regularly — indoors and out — and understand how it moves with temperature and moisture. The finish work matters as much as the install itself, especially for outdoor travertine that faces direct sun. When it's done right, it's one of the most durable and refined surfaces you can put in a home.

A countertop takes more wear than most surfaces in your home. We install stone, tile, and other materials with the attention to edge detail, levelness, and sealing that actually makes them last. Whether it's a kitchen, laundry, or outdoor counter, the fit and finish will be right. This is work that shows every single day — and it should look that way.

Floor tile has to be flat, properly bonded, and set with consistent joints — or it will crack, pop, and sound hollow within a few years. We do the layout, leveling, and installation with care so the floor performs the way it should. Material options, grout color, and tile direction all matter, and we help you think through each decision. The goal is a floor you won't have to redo.

Stone and brick masonry is craft work — it requires experience, not just labor. We handle exterior masonry, accent walls, and structural stone work with the same attention given to interior tile. The joints are tight, the lines are clean, and the work is built to handle the Texas climate. If you want stonework that adds real character to your home, this is the right call.


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You Reach Out, We Listen
The process starts with a conversation. When you call or text M7R, Michael picks up — not a receptionist, not an automated system. He'll ask about your project, the space, and what you're hoping to achieve. From there, he schedules a time to come see the job in person. There's no commitment required at this stage. The goal is to understand exactly what needs to be done before any numbers are discussed.
A Clear, Honest Estimate
After walking the space, Michael puts together a detailed estimate covering materials, labor, and timeline. Everything is explained in plain terms — what the work involves, how long it will take, and what it costs. There are no vague line items or last-minute add-ons once the job starts. If scope changes during the project for any reason, that conversation happens upfront, not after the fact.
The Work Gets Done Right
Once the job is approved, Michael gets to work. Every step — from prep and substrate work to the final grout and seal — is handled with care. The space is left clean, and the finished product is reviewed with you before the job is considered complete. If something isn't right, it gets addressed. The job isn't done until the work meets the standard M7R has built its reputation on.

The price depends on the size of the space, the materials selected, and the condition of what's already there. A basic bathroom tile job in the Hockley area can range widely based on those factors. The best way to get a real number is to schedule an estimate — Michael will walk the space and give you a clear, itemized quote. There are no guessing games and no pressure after the visit.
Yes — M7R Tile and Stone Services works throughout the greater Hockley area, including Cypress, The Woodlands, Waller, Fulshear, and surrounding communities. Most of the work is within a reasonable distance of Hockley, Texas. If you're unsure whether your location is covered, just call or text (844) 601-0935 and we'll confirm quickly.
Most shower tile installations take between three and five days from demo to finished tile, depending on the size and scope. If new waterproofing or substrate work is needed — which is common in older showers — that adds time but is not something to skip. Michael will give you a realistic timeline before the job starts so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes, M7R is fully insured. Working with an insured contractor protects your home and protects you if anything unexpected happens during the project. It's something Michael has carried consistently throughout 20 years in the business. Always ask your contractor for proof of insurance before any work begins on your property.
Yes — M7R works on both interior and exterior projects. Indoor work includes bathrooms, kitchens, showers, and tile floors. Outdoor work includes patios, outdoor kitchens, firepits, pavers, and travertine installations. Having one contractor handle both sides of a project keeps communication simple and the quality consistent throughout.
Porcelain and ceramic tile are the most practical choices for Texas kitchens — they hold up well under heat, foot traffic, and cleaning. Travertine and natural stone work too but require more maintenance and sealing. The best option depends on your budget, how you use the space, and the look you want. Michael can walk you through the options during the estimate so the decision makes sense for your home.
Call or text (844) 601-0935 to set up a time for Michael to come out and see the project. He'll assess the space, talk through what you have in mind, and give you a straightforward quote. There's no obligation after the visit, and you'll have a clear picture of cost and timeline before committing to anything.
Travertine installed and sealed correctly can last decades, even in the Texas heat and humidity. The key is proper installation — the right adhesive, correct sealing, and sound substrate work underneath. Without those steps, outdoor travertine will absorb moisture, stain, and crack faster than it should. M7R has installed travertine in outdoor spaces across the Hockley and Cypress area and understands what it takes to make it last.
