The floor by my toilet feels spongy. Can you just tile over it?
No, and I would not. In the older homes near the Town Centre that soft spot is the job, so I fix the subfloor cause rather than burying it under a new finish that will fail early.

The local scope
Tile & Flooring in Cloverdale, scoped in writing first.
Flooring requests in Cloverdale track the housing stock closely. Clayton Heights townhouse owners mostly want luxury vinyl plank run through the main floor, which lives or dies on subfloor prep and clean transitions between rooms. The older detached homes in West Cloverdale and near Cloverdale Town Centre bring bathroom tile work: floors, tub surrounds, and grout that has gone dark and needs repair or replacement. I check the subfloor before promising anything, lay underlayment correctly, keep the lines square, and finish with proper transition strips and trim so the edges look intentional. Engineered hardwood installs and tile repair round out the scope, and the rural Hazelwood houses sometimes add a mudroom or laundry floor that has to survive real farm traffic. Full remodels that move plumbing get referred or partnered, but installation, grouting, and sealing are all mine. Photos of the room and the material you are considering are enough for a written estimate, and I will tell you honestly if your subfloor needs work before the finish goes down.

Field note
Walk through a typical Cloverdale flooring job with me. In a Clayton Heights townhome I start by checking flatness, because plank floors telegraph every dip, then run the LVP with the seams staggered and the transitions at doorways sitting tight. In an older Town Centre bathroom, the floor often reveals a spongy spot near the toilet, and I fix the subfloor cause instead of tiling over it. West Cloverdale homes frequently pair a bathroom floor with fresh grout work in the shower. Out at Hazelwood, durable tile in entries and laundry areas earns its keep. Every quote states the prep honestly, since prep is the difference between a floor that lasts and one that fails early.
Pricing
What a Cloverdale floor is quoted on.
Square footage is the smaller half of it. Subfloor condition, transitions into the next room, and the cut count around corners set the real number, so I check the subfloor before quoting. You approve a written number before I pick up a tool in Cloverdale.
