Q: Can you put a new tile floor over an old tile floor?

• <div><p>Yes. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-tile-over-tile.htm">tile over tile</a> if the old tile is in good shape, but this will also create a thicker floor. As a result, you may have to remove and readjust baseboards and other room trimmings and potentially even raise door heights to work with the higher floors. In most projects, it&rsquo;s best to remove the old tile before installing a new tile floor. </p></div>

Q: Does removing tile damage the subfloor?

• <div><p>No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn&rsquo;t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.</p><p>If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it&rsquo;s in good enough condition to lay new tile.</p></div>

Q: What outdoor flooring is not slippery?

• <div><p>Outdoor kitchens get wet and are sometimes next to pools. To avoid accidents, go with a non-slip material like concrete, brick, or rubber. Avoid materials like ceramic and porcelain, as they are known to be quite slippery. Wood and composite flooring can be slippery if untreated, so make sure to stain or finish these materials.</p></div>

Q: Why do you leave a gap when laying laminate flooring?

• <div><p>When you install laminate flooring, you have to install spacers (also called expansion gaps) along the edges. This space along the edges gives the flooring the room it needs to naturally expand and contract. When you don't have an expansion gap, you can end up with damaged or warped planks. This can lead to uneven flooring, which is unsightly and can cause a trip hazard.</p></div>

Q: Do transition pieces go under the baseboard?

• <div><p>Whether or not transition pieces go under the baseboard depends on a few different factors. If the transitions are being installed with the flooring and before the baseboards, then they will go under the baseboards. If the baseboards are already installed, then it depends on whether or not you want to remove them or undercut them. If not, the transition pieces can butt up against the baseboard.</p></div>
