Tile cutting and shaping: Cutting tiles to fit around obstacles, into corners, or for specific shapes using hand or power tools.
Adhesive and grout application: Mixing and spreading adhesives like mortar or cement, and applying grout to the joints between tiles.
Installation: Laying the tiles onto the prepared surface, pressing or tapping them into position, and ensuring they are level and properly spaced.
Finishing: Wiping away excess grout with a damp sponge and installing any necessary trim or edging.
Quality control: Inspecting the finished work to ensure it meets quality and aesthetic standards.
