How difficult is tile work?

What do you mean coming up?

Id rec hiring a couple mexicans, they will knock that out quickly

Pulling up tiles and not breaking them would be a bitch

If you have to ask...... Don't try it.......

Go ahead and give it a whirl then. That way you will know firsthand. Then get back to us detailing how much time it took from start to finish and how much fun you had.

Yea the quote I received was from a couple Mexicans who only take cash. Cost of labor is not cheap right now after the flood.

Simple as long as you don't have to make any cuts. Still pretty simple even with cuts if you have access to a tile saw

Its damn near impossible to chip up tiles and mortar without causing unwanted damage, especially if you don't know what you're doing. Tile work isn't easy if you've never done it. My advice, pay the $600 to get the job done by someone who knows what they're doing. You'll come out a lot cheaper that way than by trying to do it yourself and messing up, then having to pay someone to come behind you and try to fix your mistakes

Don't know about floor tile, but I did the kitchen backsplash in our old house and it was a pain in the arse. I'll pay the money to have someone else do it next time.

Well after reading through this thread I feel very comfortable advising you frick that noise. Pay the $600 and be thrilled.
