How can I be sure the tile installer installs correctly?

QUESTION

Installation Guidelines for Ceramic Tile and Stone - How can I be sure that my tile installer will install my ceramic tile or stone correctly?

ANSWER

ANSWER - The key to a quality and successful tile installation that will last many years is to have a quality control plan to ensure your installer is installing the tile correctly per industry standards. If you can't afford to hire a qualified third party to implement the quality control plan then YOU must be the QC inspector to make sure it gets installed correctly. The installer may have 30 years experience, but he probably is not familiar with all of the standards of the industry. For some general installation guidelines download the following pdf: Tile Installation Guidelines.

    The pdf “Tile Installation Guidelines” link does not work. Could you please email the document to me? Thank you so much! (We’re in a nightmare situation of leaks through a tile deck recently installed over a garage roof, and the contractor has gone out of business.)
