        "text": "Before your tile installer arrives, remove all furniture, storage bins, and existing floor coverings like old carpet, tack strips, or peeling linoleum. Clear an unobstructed pathway from the exterior entryway down to the basement so crew members can safely bring in heavy tile boxes, mortar bags, and cutting equipment. It is also helpful to test for slab moisture issues beforehand and decide where transitions between rooms or mechanical closets will sit so the layout aligns with your remodel plans.",
