What tile and flooring work covers
In a bathroom remodel, this trade handles everything below and around your feet: removing old tile or vinyl, checking and leveling the subfloor, installing a waterproofing membrane where it matters (shower pans, curbs, niches), setting tile or stone on the floor and walls, and finishing with grout and sealant. It also includes transitions to hallway flooring, heated floor mats under tile, and the flashing details around drains and thresholds that keep water where it belongs. Shelton has 13 businesses listed under this category, ranging from small tile-setting crews to full remodelers who handle flooring as part of a larger job.
What to look for before hiring
Ask how they waterproof shower floors and walls, not just whether they do. A proper membrane system (like Schluter or a liquid-applied product) under the tile matters more than the tile brand itself. Get a clear answer on subfloor prep, since uneven or soft substrate is the most common cause of cracked grout and loose tile down the road. Check that lead times for special-order tile are factored into the schedule, and confirm who handles disposal of old materials.
