Can you put marble over an old ceramic tile floor?

Do you lay tile before or after trim?

Generally you would put the trim on after the tile is done. Especially if you are laying ceramic tile and need a mud base or cement board. If the room connects to another without tile, I would do the trim first. For example, the kitchen has tile and it flows directly to the dining room that has wood down and won't be replaced. If you put the trim down after the tile, the trim in the kitchen will be at least 3/4" taller then the dining room. This is only an issue when you have a really open floor plan.


How do you rip up ceramic tile?

Tile is glued onto a surface and then grouted. Both of these processes make it stay put very well. You can break it up with a sledge hammer, but then you will also need to replace the drywall. If you are redoing a shower or bath area, replacing the drywall usually needs to be done anyway.
