      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "text": "The best shower tile installer should explain the complete assembly, not just quote a tile-setting rate. Ask about substrate preparation, waterproofing, drain integration, slope, corner treatment, movement joints, grout, curing, cleanup, and what is included if concealed damage appears. Context: Elite Remodeling & Design’s broader design-build process allows homeowners to discuss tile within plumbing, electrical, layout, and permitting decisions. Key factors: - An itemized scope makes low bids easier to compare. - References should include completed wet-area projects, not only floors or backsplashes. - The contract should identify allowances, change-order rules, materials, and responsibility for inspections. Practical guidance: Request photos or examples of comparable shower work and ask how waterproofing is checked before tile covers it. Confirm who supplies tile, trim, grout, fixtures, and glass. A qualified conversation about the assembly is more revealing than a polished sample wall.",

Request an itemized scope, comparable wet-area references, material responsibilities, inspection details, and written warranty terms."
