        "text": "Tile is worth considering when you want a highly durable, water-resistant surface and are comfortable with a harder feel underfoot. It performs best over a properly prepared, stable, and sufficiently flat base with correctly planned joints and transitions. Context: Loose tiles and recurring grout failure can indicate movement, poor preparation, moisture, or an underlying base problem. The replacement scope should address that cause. Key factors: - Subfloor stability - Tile and grout maintenance - Slip resistance and texture - Added floor height Practical guidance: Ask how the installer will prepare the substrate and align tile height with adjoining rooms. Elite Remodeling & Design can incorporate tile selection into the broader kitchen layout and finish plan.",
