Tile Removal and Floor Prep in Saint Paul, MN

Tile removal is heavy, dusty work, and floor preparation is where a hard-surface project either succeeds or fails. Once the old floor is off, the subfloor has to be flat enough for whatever goes down next, and large format tile in particular demands a flatter surface than most people expect.

Hardline Surface Co. handles removal and preparation across Saint Paul, MN, including self-levelling compound where the substrate needs it. Skipping this step is how tiles crack, corners lift and grout lines fail within a year of a job that looked perfect on completion.

Floor preparation is the line item people cut to save money and it is the one that causes the failures. If a quote has no preparation in it, the honest question is what happens if the floor turns out not to be flat, because that cost does not disappear, it just arrives later.

Tile Removal And Floor Prep FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Tile Removal and Floor Prep

Questions we hear most often about Tile Removal and Floor Prep in Saint Paul, MN.

Talk to a real person
What wear layer do I need for luxury vinyl plank?
12 mil for bedrooms and low traffic, 20 mil for pets, children and entry halls. Total plank thickness is not the number that matters, and a thick plank with a thin wear layer scratches within a year.
Can laminate go in a bathroom?
No. The fibreboard core swells permanently once water reaches it, and swollen laminate can only be replaced, not dried or repaired. Use sheet vinyl, waterproof LVP or tile instead.
Porcelain or ceramic, which should I choose?
Porcelain absorbs under 0.5% water and suits wet areas, exteriors and freeze-prone spaces. Ceramic costs less and is perfectly good for dry indoor floors, walls and backsplashes.
Why does my tile quote include floor preparation?
Because tile cracks on an uneven subfloor, and large format needs flatter than most people expect. A quote without preparation is not cheaper, it is incomplete, and the cost arrives later as failed grout and lifted corners.
Can you match my existing tile?
Sometimes. Discontinued lines are the usual obstacle and dye lots vary even within a current product. We will look before promising anything.
