CTEF has the information you need before hiring tiling professionals!
Time after time after time after time, I receive phone calls from people under stress because they hired the wrong people to complete their tile work.
“O stop, Ben you're just trying to scare me!”
“O Ben, you're just trying to up sell.”
NO, NO, NO!
Let me scream it from a mountain top! Beware of who you hire. Tile is a skilled trade, not for the faint of heart.
The only way to “fix” bad tile work is to tear it all out! That’s why I wrote a blog post called, The top mistakes homeowners make when hiring a tile guy It explains the ins and outs of recruiting a professional grade tile person.
Another great resource and one that backs up EVERYTHING I say in my blog post is a post by the Ceramic Tile Education Foundation by the master himself, Scott Carothers. My only advice for you today is to not take a bathroom remodel lightly, or any other tile work. Follow the guidelines and take a principled approach to recruitment. PAY MORE, RESEARCH MORE, CARE MORE. If you value your time and your emotions, don't set yourself up for a construction nightmare!
