Tile Removal And Thinset Scraping In Phoenix, AZ

Taking tile up is the easy half. The half that decides whether your new floor sits flat is the thinset underneath, and that is the part most people underestimate.

What The Job Actually Involves

We take the tile up and scrape the thinset back to a slab the new floor can actually bond to, with the dust contained rather than spread through the house. On older Phoenix slabs there is often more than one layer.

How We Run A Tile Removal And Tile Scraping Job

Tile Up, Thinset Back

A flat, clean slab rather than a floor with ridges under the new finish.

Dust Contained

Tile removal is the dustiest job in a house. Containment is not optional.

Multiple Layers Handled

Older Phoenix floors often have tile over tile over thinset.

Debris Removed

It leaves with us. Tile is heavy and there is more of it than people expect.

Questions

Frequently Asked About Tile Removal And Tile Scraping

Why does the thinset have to come off?
Because a new floor laid over ridged thinset will not sit flat and may not bond.
How much dust will there be?
A lot, which is why we contain the area rather than promise there will not be.
Can you do part of a house?
Yes, with the rest sealed off.
