DIY vs. Call a Pro
Tile installation is a manageable DIY project for floors with proper subfloor preparation. Install cement backer board, use notched trowel for thin-set mortar, place tiles with spacers, and grout after 24 hours. Use a wet saw for clean cuts.
Call a professional when:
Hire a professional for large-format tiles, natural stone (requires special handling), complex patterns, shower floors with slope requirements, or if subfloor leveling is needed.
