It is important that you hire a contractor with experience installing the type of tile you want to use. Some tiles are very brittle before they are installed. If you are using this more sensitive tile, then your contractor needs to be experienced with it. It will make the installation go faster and your contractor will break less tiles while cutting them to size.

Large tiling jobs can take a long time to complete. Due to this, you want to make sure you're hiring a trustworthy contractor that will do his or her job well and professionally. This will help you in a couple of different ways. First, you will be sure that you're hiring someone that will act professionally while working in your home. Second, you will likely save money by hiring a contractor that doesn't "run out the clock."

Try to get an estimate for any large tiling jobs. The material costs for tiling can go up quickly if you don't have an estimate to hold your contractor to. This is due to the fact that tile needs to be cut sometimes if it is too big to fit into the end of a row of tile. A lot of broken tiles can become very costly.
