QUESTION

Installing ceramic tile on vinyl - My daughter recently bought a newly constructed spec home. She decided to have the vinly flooring changed to ceramic tile. She presumed the installers would take care of the prep and advise of any problems or challenges. She has found out that the tiles were layed on the existing flooring. Now her appliances will not fit. What other kinds of problems might she encounter as a result? Shouldn't the installers have pulled up the vinyl? Please advise all pros and cons and what she should do or insist on the having done.
