According to several residential owners, residential tile removal is one of the easiest DIY jobs that a homeowner can take on. There are two specific values that one must have to successfully finish the task: patience and persistence. But if the homeowner does not have the luxury of time to do such task, he can always hire a contractor to carry out the task of removing tiles for his home.
Hiring Contractor for Residential Tile Removal in Tampa
There are four simple steps that the homeowner must perform in order to work with the right contractor.
The first step is to scour the city for a tile contractor. There are a few techniques that can be done. The homeowner can ask the person who supplies tiles for names of trustworthy tile contractors. He can also ask for recommendations from his friends and family. Another way is to check out the yellow pages for phone numbers and advertisements.
The second step is to contact some tile contractors and ask for estimates. The homeowner must invite the contractors to his home to have a better view of the place and decide on the cost estimates.
The third step is to ask for pictures of the contractors� previous works.
The final step is to ask for a list of references. These are the people that the contractors have worked with before. The homeowner can contact each one to ask about the work ethics of the tile contractors. Talking to past customers will confirm whether the contractors are reliable or not.
After the homeowner has made the final decision on which tile contractor to hire, the latter can now proceed to residential tile removal.
Residential Tile Removal for Installation of New Tiles
The chosen tile contractor will surely be using tools that the homeowner has not heard of. Some of the tools and equipments required for this specific task are goggles for eye protection, protective hand gloves, hammer, roofing shovel, putty knife, hammer and grout saw.
There are several types of tiles that are eradicated by tile contractors. Each specific type of tile may be in need of particular procedures to be removed.
This article talks about the old ceramic tile used on the floor. Before the contractor starts his job, he normally asks the homeowner if the tile will be reused or sold. If the answer is yes, the tile contractor will be more cautious to avoid damaging the tiles. But if the answer is no, he can just destroy the whole thing.
The first step that the tile contractor performs is to break the grout lines on the tiles. The contractor usually uses a hammer and a cold chisel for this task. Then the contractor employs a shovel to remove the gout from the floor. The flat end of the shovel must be situated at the bottom of the tile which is pushed forward and up to break the gout. The tiles can be easily removed once the gout lines had been broken.
Finally, the tile contractor scratches the remaining cement and washes the floor using a heavy duty cleaner.
