How to find the right wall and floor tilers

If you’re new to the tile game, it’s best to hire an expert player. An expert bathroom tiler or kitchen tiler can give that polished magazine look you’re aiming for. However, not all tilers are real experts as they claim to be. To ensure you got the someone that suits your needs, check out the following:

• Choose a floor or wall tile first before choosing the tiler. Counterintuitive? Not really! Choosing the kitchen floor tiles you wish to install informs the scope and challenges of your tile installation. The tiler then can advise you on the approach they’re going to take based from that. Take note of their suggestions because that’s when you’ll know if your speaking to a real expert tiler.
• Ask your tilers for work references and previous sample photographs. Make time for inspections and check on how the tiles are laid out (grout alignments, tile placing and spacing etc.).
• Got your prospect? Make sure that your prospect is a right fit for you in terms of work scope, your requirements, their experience, your budget, the duration of work and their availability.
• Request for a quote in writing. It is important to get a detailed quote of the services that will be rendered. The quote should indicate the cost starting from removal of your old tiles, applying suitable underlayment, priming, grouting and then up to the polishing and finishing.
• To feel more confident, ask the tiler on the adhesives and the grout system they’re using. Do a quick search on your tile manufacturer and verify if the right materials are used.
