I want to replace our old laminate flooring with new tile flooring, but I am not sure where to start. I am a quick learn and very meticulous, so I think I can learn how and feel confident pretty quickly. So here are a few questions. Hopefully some one can help to answer them. Do I have to rip out the old floor first? There are a couple creaks in it and it seems that would be a problem for tile flooring. How hard would it be to remove the old flooring (Its old and it is the small laminate squares not the big sheets)? Once removed do I need to put down any type of base before I start installing the tile? Can you rent a tile cutter and other necessary power tools needed for this type of job? And lastly how much do I need to read or classes would I need to take to install a tile floor the first time with no mistakes or at least end up with a nice looking and strong long lasting floor. Thanks for reading my post and helping in any way you can.
