What to Ask Before You Hire a Tiling Contractor Near You
Before hiring a tiler, it’s important to ask the right questions. From insurance to tile prep, getting clarity upfront helps you avoid issues later.
Here are some key questions to ask:
What types of tiling do you specialise in?
Some tile contractors focus on bathrooms and kitchens, while others handle large-format flooring tiles, mosaics, or natural stone. Make sure their expertise matches your project.
Are you licensed and insured?
Work with a tiler who carries liability insurance and, if required in your province, the appropriate trade license. This protects you in case of damage or accidents.
What’s included in your pricing?
Tile contractors may charge per square foot or offer a fixed job rate. Always confirm whether costs include:
- Surface preparation and waterproofing
- Tile cutting and trimming
- Grout and sealant
- Old tile removal and disposal
Do you handle preparation and finishing?
Ask if they level the subfloor, apply waterproofing membranes, or provide sealing services for natural stone. Skipping prep work can lead to costly issues later.
Will you move appliances or bathroom fixtures?
Some bathroom tilers expect the space to be cleared before work begins. Others include moving sinks, toilets, or appliances as part of their service.
