Tiling is much more complicated than it might seem. Whether it’s a floor, kitchen backsplash, or bathroom wall, there are several factors to consider before you tackle this project yourself. Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects can be a nightmare if you don’t have the proper tools, let alone experience. Moreover, installations vary by medium, materials, and square footage.
Many
tiles are made from delicate materials and installing them correctly can make a
significant difference in the finished product’s lifespan. Hiring a
professional to install tile might seem unnecessary initially, but you will be
thankful in the long-run. Read on to discover why hiring a professional to tile
your home is a better bet.
1)
Design Options
Since professionals install tiles daily, they are familiar with styles,
textures, layouts, grout colors, and much more. Industry innovations and updates
fluctuate – thus, licensed contractors can effortlessly adapt to changes and
know best practices.
2)
Speedy Installation
It should go without saying, but here we are. Hiring a licensed contractor to
install tile in your home will undoubtedly be much quicker than a DIY project, as
you will have time restraints and schedules to follow. Additionally, an expert
will lay tiles at a much faster rate since they are more familiar with the
complex process.
3)
Proper Equipment
To
install tiles, the tools sitting in your garage or basement probably won’t
suffice. Specialists will not only come equipped with all of the right tools –
they will also know exactly how to use them. It’s imperative to understand that
tiling can be a messy job; letting someone else handle the mud, grout, and
cleanup is the way to go.
4)
Reduced Waste
Remember geometry class? No? Well, the contractor you hire to install your tile
will be familiar with geometry to say the least. The progression of measuring,
cutting, and fitting tile can be tremendously complicated. To lessen the amount
of waste from your project, don’t DIY.
5)
Home Protection
Hurdles
will undoubtedly surface in nearly any home project. Tiling sounds fun and
easy, but don’t forget about the dusty, dirty demolition. You might not have
the capability to deal with unforeseen issues that arise in a DIY plan.
Removing old tile, disposal, protecting trim and walls from damage, and closing
off doors to contain dust are just a few of the extra precautions taken by
professionals.
