TILE & BACKSPLASHES
Bathroom and kitchen tile
Coordinate bathroom or kitchen tile across the surfaces included in the project. Distinguish decorative wall tile, walking surfaces and wet-area assemblies so each receives the appropriate preparation.
START WITH THE DETAILS
What goes into
the work.
Measure each tiled surface. Note tile size, pattern, corners, openings, edges and wet areas; waterproofing is a separate assembly.
Typical scope to confirm
- Measure each floor and wall separately
- Coordinate tile, trim and grout selections
- Define wet-area boundaries and installation sequence

SCOPE-SPECIFIC PRICING
Your scope sets the price.
A combined kitchen or bathroom tile package needs separate measured floor, dry-wall and wet-area assemblies; a single square-foot allowance would hide major scope differences. A numeric range is withheld until the scope and relevant costs are known.
A planning reference for this service only. Selections, local labor, access, quantities and existing conditions need Coastal’s review. Do not add overlapping whole-project and component ranges.
What changes the price
- Number of surfaces
- Wet versus dry area preparation
- Tile pattern and edge count
What the reference covers
- Confirm the written scope and responsibility for each item.
Allow for these separately
- Cabinet and fixture replacement
- Shower pan unless specifically included
- Unlisted plumbing changes
- Any work not listed in the eventual written proposal

PERMIT PLANNING
Usually cosmetic work
Usually a finish-only scope when the structure, room use and utilities stay unchanged. This is a starting classification, not an address-specific exemption; confirm any related regulated work before starting.
- Opening walls or changing structural support
- Moving or adding wiring, plumbing or ventilation
- Historic exterior restrictions or regulated-material removal
ENGINEERING & DESIGN
Engineering is not usually needed
Engineering is not usually part of this finish-only scope. Stop for review if hidden damage, structural changes or unusual support loads are found.
- New structural work or damaged framing
- Unverified heavy-load support
Confirm requirements with the city or county responsible for the property before work begins. The address, exact scope and adopted code determine the final requirements.
