Does not cover

Does not include hollow or structural partition tile.

Hiring tip

Tile installation quality depends on proper substrate preparation and waterproofing, especially in wet areas like showers. Ask the contractor about their waterproofing method, thin-set selection, and grout sealing. Get material and labor warranties separately.

A California contractor license is generally required when a project costs $1,000 or more in combined labor and materials, requires a building permit, or uses additional workers. Small jobs cannot be split from a larger project to qualify for the exemption. Read the CSLB requirements.
