What You Should Expect From Your Marble Installer For Guaranteed Work -Part I

Before you set out to hire anyone for a Marble installer in South Florida, you are going to want to make sure that you have a fairly good understanding of the process of the work, including materials and tools used and the prep work that will need to be done. 


You might think that this should not be your concern, after all, that is why you are hiring someone else. However, you are paying someone to do a job that you do not want to do, you are not paying them to think and make decisions for you.


In order to make sure that you are staying in charge and that you are going to end up with exactly what you wanted, then you are going to have to make sure that you are educating yourself on what you should be expecting from the marble installation company services. 


When you do not do this, there is a chance that installation will not be done properly and then you might just end up with a bigger mess on your hands than you originally started with.


One of the first things that you are going to want to expect is an installer that has been doing this kind of work for many years. 


The last thing you would want is to have someone that is brand new at this type of work. Since you probably do not have the time, patience or money to allow your floors to be used as a training ground, you want to ask for references and a detailed description of the natural stone installer experience.

Another thing you want to do is to ask your ceramic tile installer just how he or she will prepare the substrate. If your installer is sketchy with this information, you will want to look for other help. It is vitally important to make sure that the substrate is going to be properly cleaned because all of the oil, moisture,paint and dirt that has built up over time can really get in the way of the tiles being adhered to the substrate.

The substrate will also need to be double checked for being level. If the substrate is not completely flat or level, an flatten on the substrate will be necessary. Once that is completed, a waterproofing layer will need to be added. Since you are most likely having the ceramic tile company services install tile in moist places, such as an outdoor patio, kitchen or bathroom, you are going to need that additional protection.

Believe it or not, there are some ceramic tile installer professionals that simply want to sweep the substrate and then start laying the tile. If you get the feeling that this is what your installer has in mind, it is time to start looking for help from another person or company. 


Even though you are hiring someone else for the job, it is ultimately up to you to make sure that it is being done right. After all, at the end of the day, when the ceramic tile installer leaves, you are the one that is left with the tile and if it is not up to your standards, you are the one that pays the price.
