        "text": "Before hiring an installer, you should measure your room's dimensions and purchase your tile with a 10 to 15 percent overage to account for cuts, pattern waste, and future repairs. Decide on your preferred tile layout pattern, such as straight lay, brick joint, or herringbone, as this changes material requirements. You should also verify whether your project requires moving plumbing fixtures or appliances, clearing the room of personal belongings, and selecting grout colors and widths compatible with your tile choice.",
