Flooring

If you are thinking of Ceramic or porcelain tile the quick answer is NO!!

The moisture in the adhesive/thin set will likely make the wallpaper release at the worst possible time. It needs to come off & the substrate needs roughed up a bit to give the thin set something to mechanically bond to.

If this is a wet area like a shower or tub surround DRYWALL is a NO NO too, should be green board.

The thin set you should use over plywood is called Durabond. Durabond is a water-based coating that dries to a hard, durable finish. It can be applied directly to new or old drywall and will not cause any harm if it comes in contact with insulation.

The sealant goes on the grout not on the tile & yes it is a great idea & do it quickly before the grout starts to get stained by use.

Yes.

You should use a good quality underlay with it though to reduce the noise of the laminate knocking on the tiles.

Depending on the type of pad you have, this will differ.

Usually if it has a barrier, like a solid red or blue plastic attached, this side goes up. If there is netting of some sort, this side also goes up.

Yes (if it is unsealed). Otherwise the grout will stain it.

I'd charge $150 plus expenses and I'd only take the job in hope of bigger things to come from this customer.

If you want to finish in one day you need to use fast drying mortar such as quick-set.
Trip to store for tile, grout and mortar.
Remove old tile and grout
Mix mortar
install tile (any cutting? more time, more tools, more clean up)
wait to dry (and clean up tools)
grout
wait
wipe off excess
wait
go over with sponge
clean up job site.

Also, ask your self, why ire the 5 tiles damaged? Bad sub floor? will you have to come back and fix it again out of your pocket?

It depends on how big the carpet is.

The labor cost to install vinyl composition tile should cost between $.75 and $1.00 to have installed. Note that the tile needs to be polished and waxed after installation that will run between $ .15 and $.25 per square foot. Prices can range based on the size of the job. The more you buy the more you save.

Ceramic tiles come in different types, including glazed ceramic, porcelain, terracotta, quarry, mosaic, and cement. Glazed ceramic tiles have a hard and durable surface due to their glass-like coating. Porcelain tiles are moisture- and wear-resistant. Terracotta tiles have warm, earthy tones, while quarry tiles are unglazed and durable. Mosaic tiles are small and used for creating decorative patterns or designs. Cement tiles are a mixture of cement, sand, and pigment and are known for their durability and unique patterns. Each type of ceramic tile offers various looks and benefits for different applications.

This depends on many factors including what area of the county you are in and what type of subfloor you have (e.g. concrete vs. plywood). It can also depend on type of tile (e.g. natural stone is more expensive than ceramic/porcelain) and what type of hardwood/type of installation (e.g. solid vs. engineered, glue down vs. float vs. nail down) as well as width of wood. This also depends on how level your floor is/what floor prep is needed.

In the NY area/mid Atlantic, it is usually less expensive to install hardwood rather than tile, esp if you have a plywood subfloor. In the South and Southwest, though, it's usually the opposite - labor is often less for tile and the homes are built on concrete slab.

It's best to get estimates from actual contractors in your area and have someone look at the current condition of your floor/subfloor to give you an accurate answer to this question.

When used with area and Oriental rugs, carpet padding is used to provide an extra cushion beneath your feet, to prevent the rug from sliding all over the floor, and to promote even wear on the rug's pile. For flatweave and antique rugs, carpet padding is a must!

Hello Amy

It always depends on the quality of the installer but a good installer should charge no more than about $2 per sq ft for the installation unless there is a lot of custom work involved.

Or you can install it yourself for around $0.50 / ft including all the tool rentals you might need.

It depends on who you hire for this job - floor installation company, self-employed hardwood floor installer or yourself. The difference in prices is may be very high. And if you are installing hardwood floor for the firs time and just planing your budget, do not forget to include:

subfloor preparation:removing old floor covering and making perfect floor leveling (because it is not for carpet).

Moldings

Baseboards

Transitions

If you plan to install hardwood on stairs - there is additional stuff for it.

Anyway, at the first time you have to make hard job, at the second - you'll be professional! Good luck!

If the tiles are 9"x9" assume they are asbestos. Never sand, scrape, pulverize, or agitate existing VAT, or VCT. You can pick them up off the floor if they are dislodged without worry, but I know you can have them tested to be sure

Vitrified tile looks much like a natural stone tile and is often used as an alternative to marble and granite flooring. Ceramic tile look more like a tile that most people are used to. Vitrified is resistant against water, acids, and staining when compared to granite or marble.

I am currently using an air chisel and popping the tiles up that way. The thin-set underneath can be chiseled or scraped up also.

of corse you can! it's not common practice but if your floor is sound it should be fine

It is a good practice to put down a sub floor first. Use 1/4" luon (Might have spelled that wrong). Glue that down liqued nails subfloor glue, and nail it down with ringshank nails. Then you can install your wood floors on top of that

Carpet layer.

Some builders put the base all the way down in all areas. Works fine.
