By Janet Murray


You will realize that many people will tell you what you should do while you opt tile your building. Nevertheless, none or very few will tell you the things you should avoid to do in the process. It is important to note that, regardless of the final product of the tiling process, the tiling process requires a lot of attention for it to produce excellent results. A simple mistake in the procedure will destroy a whole project which will cost you more money to rectify. To avoid this whole menace, it is advisable to avoid the following mistakes while hiring ceramic tile contractors Boulder.

Make sure you hire a tiling contractor based on their experience in the field. You can find out by asking around from contractors who have done excellent tiling works in your neighborhood. If they were quite satisfied by a contractors work they will readily recommend you to procure his services. Again the other possible way of getting the contacts of expert tiling contractors is enquiring from your ceramic tiles shop. These people have information on contractors who buy from them regularly.

Just because you got a recommendation or contact from a reliable source does not mean that it is correct. Take your time and establish their expertise in tiling projects. This has been made easier by the emergence of the internet. You will find it quite simple to check for references to their work from their website. You will also have the chance of going through their online reviews which will help a lot in building confidence in them.

Are they certified to carry out ceramic tiling projects? The answer to this question can be found by validating their licenses and certification with the building and construction authority. You will notice that contractors who are certified by a regulatory body will ensure that they provide quality work to avoid revocation of their certificate.

Are you ready to cater for repair costs of items damaged during tile installation? If you do not then avoid contractors without a valid and current liability insurance coverage. This is the only way you will be assured that they will cater for the cost of repairing damaged items in your premises during their work. Again if you are not in a position to pay a worker for injuries he suffered while working within your premises, ensure that they have an insurance policy that will cater for compensation of their workers in an event of injuries.

Ensure you visit a contractors previous or ongoing project site. This will shed more light on his working process as well as his attention to details. You will most likely come across areas which you feel he would need some improvement in his work. This process improves your confidence in their work immensely.

There are two classes of contractors that you should avoid. One who overcharges you and the one undercharges. You will in most cases get low quality work form the contractor who charges you a low fee and loses money to the contractor who will overcharge you. There is always an average cost of tile installation.

Make sure you get a works contract before they commence their work. The contract should itemize all the necessary materials and their cost as well as the contract period and timelines. Finally, it should include the cost of the project and the payment plan and dates.
