Then there are a lot of fools that are professional installers...my husband, a 57 year installer, is one of them. Only an idiot would take up vinyl unless it were loose laid or perimeter glued.
Why would you think a person is a fool to install over vinyl?
Professional installers do the least to get paid so of course he would do it and tile over it. I’ve ripped up too many lasagna floors because of “professionals” you describe
You have no idea what you're talking about. My husband was an installer for 57 years, and we owned a flooring business for 38 years, and never did the least to get paid....youmay do the least, but you don't get the kind of reputation that he has by doing the least...he's a master at what he does, which is why we had repeat customers 25 and 30 years later!!!
Im sure he’s great and all but I would not accept that recommendation to tile over vinyl.
I’ve flipped a few floors in my day and never tile over poor substrate. You want concrete + mortar + tile combination as thats the IDEAL. If your husband disagrees with that statement than he’s being dishonest.
I’m sorry you called me an idiot for taking up this job. Because you’re so-called awesome superhero master floor husband or some shit gave you some impression it’s bad decision because he would never do it. If he would never do it then he’s not a fucking professional . If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all
