You should always purchase the tile before you go out and hire a tile contractor. The type of tiles you select will often dictate the level of skill needed to complete the job correctly. You want to see a proven track record and understand that the more complex jobs are going to cost more money.
After you have picked your tile and start to think about interviewing potential contractors it is important to ask the right kinds of questions. You should ask about their experience, licenses, liability and workman's comp insurance, availability, how long it is going to take to complete and ask them what materials they are going to supply and what you need to pick up for them.
Before you move forward with any installer make sure that you look through lots of photos of their work. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words and by going through and installer portfolio you will be able to snuff out the amateurs from the tile professionals. Who knows you may need to interview a couple guys or you may find the right installer on your first interview.
