Skilled and professional tiler is essential when you are in need of a quality job with simple or extraordinary design. But how to find a person who will do the job correctly and with the best intentions in mind?
You seek for qualities that match your preferences.
Let’s take a look at a quick summary our team has put up of what we seek in a tiler:
- 1. Skills and experience. They have broad range of skills and understanding of different types of tiles – ceramic, porcelain, marble, etc., substrates and installation techniques. They need to be precise as the work contains patterns and grout lines.
- 2. They need to have attention to details. Meaning, that the job is quite specific: small details, layout, spacing, alignment – even the smallest inconsistencies can ruin the whole look for the tiled surface.
- 3. Knowledge of materials is a must – right adhesives, grouts, sealants – depending on the type of tiles and their locations, they need to be able to reference the best option and explain of why to use the exact one.
- 4. Time management – you don’t want to rush a tiler, but knowing how long the job will take is a trait that will be appreciated by the customer.
- 5. Certifications: it is good to have a tiler that is licensed or have relevant certifications, especially for very specialized work. But, let’s be honest, not all the great tilers have the needed education – they have gained their specialization during the years of work and experience. But that doesn’t mean that you cannot ask them for it.
- 6. Professionalism, punctuality, respectful and approachable – good quality combo to look for in a tiler.
Take your time and investigate the potential workforce that you will trust with your tile work. As in the process you can be calm and trust them with their experience and at the end, get the quality job you seek.
