Tile replacement in CBD / Downtown Miami, Miami, FL: what to check
Tile replacement in CBD / Downtown Miami, Miami, FL: the decision is whether broken pieces can be replaced, or whether the old tile is bonded well enough to stay as a substrate. Treat the neighborhood as a map label. Confirm hours, elevator rules, and the substrate at the address.
What you are deciding
You are choosing who does the work. The choice is the written scope for that room. Replacement can mean pulling individual tiles or taking up a whole field. New tile can go over old tile only when the old tile is still bonded, the extra thickness is acceptable at doors and appliances, and the surface is prepared for the new bond coat. A hollow or loose field is a demolition question.
What to check
- Treat the neighborhood as a map label. Confirm hours, elevator rules, and the substrate at the address.
- Find out how many tiles are damaged versus how many are loose.
- Check door swings, toilet clearances, and transitions before you add thickness.
- If the old tile stays, confirm it is bonded and name the preparation in writing.
- If the old tile comes out, name who repairs the substrate underneath.
