Q: How long will it take to install new flooring?

• <div><p>Flooring installation usually takes about one to three days, so it&rsquo;s a project you can do over a long weekend if you plan to DIY. Keep in mind that for some types of flooring, like hardwood or laminate, you&rsquo;ll need to let the floor panels sit out of the packaging to acclimate them to their future home. This step will add at least a day to the project time, but it will help minimize the risk of warping due to changes in temperature and humidity.</p></div>

Q: Is porcelain less expensive than quartz?

• <div><p>Porcelain countertops are slightly more affordable than quartz. Most <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-quartz-countertops-cost.htm">quartz countertops cost</a> $50 to $200 per square foot, whereas porcelain typically costs $50 to $70 per square foot. However, lower quality builder&rsquo;s grade quartz is similar in price to porcelain. This type of quartz contains more resin and fillers, making it less vibrant. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to demo and retile a bathroom?

• <div><p>Tile removal costs about <b>$2 to $7 per square foot</b> unless you do it yourself. When you hire a pro, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tile-installation-cost.htm">tile installation costs</a> $5 to $45 per square foot. Costs vary widely, but they depend on the tile material (custom-made stone tiles cost significantly more than plain ceramic tile), location, and tile size.</p></div>

Q: Should you tile the shower floor or walls first?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to start with tiling the shower floor before moving on to the walls for the most visually-pleasing results. When taking on any tiling project, you&rsquo;ll want the wall tiles to &ldquo;sit&rdquo; neatly on the floor tiles rather than overlapping them. Finishing your floor tiles first will allow you to place your wall tiles without any gaps, holes, or awkward intersections.</p></div>

Q: Should tile touch the tub?

• <div><p>Tile shouldn&rsquo;t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it&rsquo;s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/your-shower-tile-really-waterproof.htm">tile shower waterproofing</a>.</p></div>

Tom arrived to do an estimate when he said he would and he was polite and professional. He made it clear that he might not get to my job for weeks because of a backlog of work. I was fine with that. He didn't give me a specific date when the tree would be cut down. In fact, he just showed up one...
