Hello,

We are building a new home, our builder provides vinyl flooring standard in our Kitchen, dinette, laundry room and half bath. We want tile, but would rather hold onto the $5500 cash for other things that may arise during our build. We would like to then bring someone else in later to do the tile work. My question is this, how messy of a job is laying ceramic tile over this area? How messy and difficult to remove the vinyl? This floor will back up to hardwood and carpet, do I need to worry about them getting damaged in the process? Our builder has told us that they can put less glue than usual under the vinyl, plus they can install our trimwork raised to allow for the future tile. Are we crazy to wait to do this job?

Thanks!

Elaine
