Tile installation involves much more than simply laying the product in a straight line. There are many things to be considered by the homeowner. For example, what type of surface will the tile be installed on? If it’s a floor, is it a raised floor or concrete slab? Floors can be tricky, if the surface is uneven with raised concrete areas it may be necessary to grind those areas down depending on the product you’ve chosen. If the floor is a large raised wood surface it may be necessary to put backer board down prior to tile installation.
You may save money by tearing out and hauling away the old flooring yourself, just make sure to sweep away all debris and scrape down any remaining adhesive element that can cause uneven spots.
Another consideration in the cost of the installation is the amount of special cuts that may be involved. If you have an elaborate pattern that includes custom shapes or have areas around the perimeter of the floor that necessitate multiple cuts the labor and time increases.
