Question 2

How did you decide to get into your line of work?

Accepted Answer

My Father had 20 or 25 Ceramic Tilers working for him so i used to help in the school holidays etc. I was born into the job and I could not wait to leave school so i could make money and be independent.

Question 3

Do you have a favourite customer story you would like to share?

Accepted Answer

I usually have customers saying that they did not think the project would come up as good as it has. Like most finishing trades Tile selection is quite hard to visualise what the area is going to look like until after its finished. Normally they are quite proud of themselves and their selections.

Question 4

What do you like most about your job?

Accepted Answer

Seeing the end result is the most satisfying thing. I think a good Tiler always has a lot of the perfectionist in them.

Question 5

What questions should a customer ask to hire the right service professional?

Accepted Answer

Ask whether the Tiler is Licensed and Insured. How long have they been doing there trade and finally ask how they suggest doing the installation so it will look its best.

Question 6

What questions do customers commonly ask and how would you answer them?

Accepted Answer

The most common question is when can you start! I like to operate by not have myself booked out too far ahead, i think i work better when under pressure.

Question 7

What makes you the most reliable and trustworthy person for the job?

Accepted Answer

I am a good communicator so i always try not to have too many balls in the air at any one time. There is always going to be small delays from time to time and some shuffling around with weather etc but i always approach things with good communication being the key. I know many Tilers to assist if things get out of my control.

Question 8

Why should a customer hire you over another service provider?

Accepted Answer

I am Old School in the fact that i take great care and precision in doing my craft. I started my apprenticeship in 1985 when it was extremely hard to get into a trade as it was so popular. It is very hard to get a Tiler these day who has really put the time in to learn the many things they are required to know. Experience is the key.

Question 9

What are the typical things that you need to know before you can provide a quote to a customer?

Accepted Answer

I will always request to see what it is you require at site. I will discuss the Tile selection and what is the overall look you are trying to achieve. Tile selection and how the tiles are to be layed are the main factors to be discussed before pricing as well as access, stairs, condition of walls or floor etc.

Question 10

Buy quality Tiles that will look good and that will stay current for a long period of time. Only look for Licensed Tradesmen. Remember good work aint cheap and cheap work aint good.

Question 12

What makes your pricing competitive?

At the end of the day i am driven by the service that i will provide and the fact i know it is going to last and look great. I have been in this game long enough to know that paying a bit extra for quality really makes a difference overall. Your friends will notice it too.

Question 13

How do you normally charge for your service?

Accepted Answer

Almost always it is a site visit with the owner to discuss the requirements their expectations and what their tile selection will be. The price can vary if the tile is a more difficult or a more time consuming install.
