Why Hire a Professional Tile Contractor

DIY Versus a Professional

Tiling a space the DIY way, can in theory save you money, however, it does require a great deal of skill and preparation, which is why most homeowners hire a professional tile contractor. The following are what you will come across if you decide to go it alone.

DIY installation considerations

Installing your own tiles, mentioned above, can save you money. However, if you lack the skills and patience needed, it may just end up costing you more time and money to get the job done right.

Tiling is a tricky job that can take much longer than people often anticipate, especially if you break tiles as you start to get to grip on the job. Most people can lay some tiles, but very few have the skill to install tiles that look great.

Things to consider before doing a DIY tile installation:

  • Time, if you work full time, consider whether you have the time, energy, or patience to fit this job in with your other commitments.

  • Inconvenience, unless you are only tiling a small area, the chances are it won’t be done in one go. So can you deal with tools and tiling paraphernalia all over the place? And if you are tiling the bathroom, are you and your family going to be comfortable using it around DIY tile installation?

  • Cost, in terms of labor costs, you will save money, assuming you get the job done properly the first time. But you must have all the tools needed, which will often eat into any cost savings that you have achieved.

  • Skill, when you hire a professional, you are not only paying for their time but their experience. Any qualified tiler will have a huge amount of know-how and experience through hours spent on the job.
