Porcelain tile installation typically involves preparing the surface, ensuring it is clean, level, and suitable for tiling, followed by measuring and planning the layout to minimize cuts and optimize appearance. The process includes applying adhesive or mortar, carefully placing and aligning the tiles, and cutting tiles as needed to fit edges and corners. Grouting between tiles is then performed to secure the tiles and create a finished look. When evaluating requests, details such as the size and condition of the area, the type and size of porcelain tiles, the complexity of the layout, and any specific surface or substrate considerations help determine the scope, materials, and time required for the project.
