The tile and floor side of a bathroom remodel, across Wilmington and New Castle County.
A bathroom remodel is several trades wearing one word, and the most useful thing to know before it starts is who does which part. BESA handles the part you walk on and look at: tearing out the old tile, vinyl and backer board, checking and flattening the subfloor underneath, the waterproofing preparation behind the shower walls and under the pan, the layout, the setting, the grout, the trim, the transition into the hallway, and setting the fixtures back onto finished tile. Where the job crosses into moving a drain, re-piping a shower valve or running a new circuit for a fan or a heated floor, that is licensed plumbing and electrical work in Delaware, and you are told so at the quote rather than halfway through a gutted room.
Most bathrooms that come up around Wilmington are one of two kinds. Older rowhome and twin bathrooms, where the floor is rarely flat, the walls are rarely square, and the layout has to hide both. And the builder-grade bathrooms of the 1980s and 1990s across New Castle County, where a fiberglass surround or a tired vinyl floor is coming out for tile that will outlast it. Either way the order is the same: the floor under it first, the layout decided before the glue, and edges that are finished rather than filled. Bathroom remodels are done across Wilmington, Newark, Bear, New Castle and Hockessin.
Floor and wall tile, mosaic, marble and pattern work, set to a layout that is planned before anything is stuck down.
02Hardwood, luxury vinyl plank and laminate through living space, laid to run with the room rather than against it.
03The new kitchen floor and the backsplash, planned around the cabinets and counters so the room reads as one piece.
04Shower walls, floors, pans and niches, with the waterproofing prep done before any tile is set over it.
05Backsplashes and kitchen floors, cut around outlets and cabinet runs so the pattern still reads as one piece.
06Subfloor flattening, old flooring removal and tile repairs, which is where most failed floors actually went wrong.
Tile is not a trade you can rush or hand off halfway. The person who measures your floor is the person who sets it.
Substrate checked flat and sound first, because tile telegraphs every dip and every soft spot beneath it.
Where the full tiles land and where the cuts fall is decided before anything is stuck down.
Set to a line, spaced consistently, then grouted and trimmed so the edges are finished rather than filled.
Where a job crosses into licensed plumbing or electrical, you are told plainly, not sold it.
