Surface preparation is one of the biggest differences between a quick-looking job and a durable professional finish. Floors and walls need to be checked, cleaned, corrected, protected, and made ready for tile. If the base is wrong, the finish will eventually show it.
For wet areas, preparation becomes even more important. Shower walls, niches, and floors need attention before visible tile work begins. This stage is not glamorous, but it is where the final room earns its longevity.
