Check local availability
Tell us about your tile project. We review each request by hand and, if an independent local installer is available, we put you in touch. Submitting does not guarantee availability.
We do not do the work. Independent local tile installers do, and you contract directly with the one you choose.
In South Salt Lake the floor is usually a stack. A house off 2100 South or east toward 700 East may carry sheet vinyl over particle board over an older linoleum over the original wood, each layer glued down by a different owner during a different decade. Most of it has to come out, because tile bonded to a floating layer fails no matter how carefully it was set. Older sheet flooring and its adhesive can also contain material that should be tested rather than sanded or ground, which changes how the removal gets handled.

What affects the scope
Every tile job is different, and the independent installer who does the work sets their own price. These are the things they will usually need to know before they can estimate:
- The square footage and how many rooms and doorways it crosses
- The condition and flatness of the subfloor, which often needs work before tile
- Whether the existing floor has to come out, and what it is
- The tile size, since large format demands a flatter floor than small tile
- Whether a crack isolation or uncoupling membrane is called for
- How many transitions, thresholds, and trim details the layout creates
Worth asking any installer directly: are you licensed and insured for this work, what waterproofing system do you use, what is your estimate and what does it include, when could you start, and what happens if something is not right afterwards?

Questions
Frequently asked
How much does tile flooring cost in South Salt Lake?
The number of layers under the current floor, whether any of them need testing before removal, and how the new finished height meets the rest of the house are what set the scope here. Taylorsville Tile Co. does not set prices. If an independent local installer is available for your job, that installer gives you their own estimate and you agree it directly with them before any work starts.
Does old sheet flooring need to be tested before it comes out?
In houses of this age it is worth asking about. Some sheet flooring and the black cutback adhesive under it were made with material that should not be sanded, ground or swept up dry, and a lab test on a small sample is the only way to know instead of guess. If the test is positive, the removal follows a different procedure and is handled by someone licensed for it. If it is negative, the floor comes up normally. Either way, that answer belongs at the front of the job rather than the middle.
