A second opinion on tile quotes that reads bids side by side, checks prep, waterproofing and scope and points out gaps and questions to ask.
Two tile quotes can look similar and be very different. One may include waterproofing, leveling and new backing, and the other may assume none of it. Homeowners in Nashville who hold two or three bids often want help reading them, and a second opinion can reveal gaps before they become change orders.
Send us the quotes or bring them to a visit. We compare scope line by line: demolition, prep, waterproofing, backer, tile, grout, trim, sealing and cleanup. We note what is missing, what is vague and what looks unusual, and we suggest questions to ask each company. We do not criticize other companies, and we do not pressure you. We simply help you understand what you are comparing. Our quote scorecard also helps you weigh scope, schedule, communication and terms using your own priorities. Send complete copies of the quotes, including the fine print. Photos and measurements help us see if the scopes match. Ask each company to confirm in writing what is included for waterproofing, prep and cleanup. We then help you compare the quotes fairly. Look for differences in demolition, floor leveling, backer board, waterproofing, the named tile and setting materials, grout type, trim pieces, the schedule and who handles cleanup. Write down any question you want each company to answer, and note how clearly and quickly each one replies, since communication during the quote often predicts communication during the project.
