What the work should include
The scope should distinguish tile removal, disposal, substrate review and any correction needed before setting. A base that looks acceptable from above may be damaged or unsuitable after removal. Discuss how additional preparation will be documented and agreed if hidden conditions change the estimate.
Choices to make before work starts
Confirm the proposed tile and installation system before selecting the replacement base. The existing assembly's thickness matters at doors, counters and adjacent floors. Preserve nearby finishes through an agreed protection plan, but do not assume demolition will leave every boundary ready without repair.
What affects the estimate and schedule
Assembly thickness, bond and hidden damage affect removal effort. Send photos of tile edges, room access and the replacement material.

A question about this work
Can the original backing always be reused?
No. Its condition and suitability for the new installation need to be reviewed after the old material is removed.
