FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Prices vary moderately depending on a number of factors. First, what material is being considered. The installation process varies from basic tile to polished marble. Ceramic or porcelain can be put down fairly easy, assuming the substrate is acceptable. Marble on the other hand is laid closely together so each tile needs to be laid perfectly level to the next, although the subfloor may look level to the eye, there must be enough cement under the marble to allow the tile to "float" perfectly level. Price is commensurate to time. Second, condition of existing floor, does the old floor have to be removed? How many floors are there? Ideally it is best to get down to the original sub floor if it's wood, if concrete, it's a must to remove all old flooring to the slab to ensure a long lasting tile floor. Third, is the area to be tiled level? Tile is beautiful, except if it's not level. An unleveled floor cannot be hidden like it can with carpet. Tile, marble, porcelain or mosaics whatever is being used, just won't look good unless installed level. There are more than a few variables when pricing a tile project, so Exclusive Design will explain all the options with a detailed proposal and we are always a call away.
