I'm a realtor and would say yes, it's a good idea to talk to your realtor before doing any upgrades to your house. Without knowing what area or market you're in and because of the current economy & housing market, I'd say off the cuff that your husband is on the right tract. Good luck though with whatever you decide to do.

Thanks, luk. I'll hold off until we at least speak to a realtor.

But still would like to know if "after-build" tile floors look as good as when done originally??? Don't want to take out cabinets, oh, and what about door jambs (sp?).

Thanks!
Tracey

I'm glad you're holding off, why spend $$ if you don't need to. To answer your question, there is no reason why tile installed after a build is completed would not look picture perfect. But I would recommend hiring a qualified person to do it if you don't exactly what you're doing.

They do when I install em! :-)

Thanks. I have 3 doorways in the master bathroom with the current vinyl running under the door frames....didn't know if it'd look right if the floor were changed out or not. Good to know that if we do this update, it should look fine.
