        "text": "Proper preparation is crucial for a lasting tile installation. This typically involves removing old tiles, repairing and waterproofing the substrate (usually drywall or cement board), and ensuring the surface is clean, dry, and level. Any plumbing or electrical work should be completed before tiling begins. Customers should decide on their tile layout, grout color, and any decorative accents in advance. Hometelligent Inc. offers comprehensive site assessment as part of our process to ensure all preparatory steps are addressed efficiently, minimizing delays.",
