        "text": "You need a professional tile installer if your floor requires structural subfloor repair, transitions between different flooring heights, or involves high-end materials like marble. Complex layouts, herringbone patterns, and large-format tiles require specialized cutting tools, precise spacing, and flat surfaces to prevent uneven tile edges, known as lippage. Working with an experienced remodeling contractor ensures proper moisture barriers are installed in wet areas like bathrooms and that underlying subfloor deflection is handled correctly before setting tile.",
