How to remove an old tile counterop with chicken wire, concrete. This job was a mess but with the right tool, the right people, it’s a pretty quick job! I recommend renting a hammerdrill (home depot or lowe’s) to get this job done. Quick tip: rent equipment in the evening (less than 4 hours prior to close) and you don’t have to return it until 9 am the next morning (4 hour rental)

Tile counter tops are a scourge, no doubt about it. They have never looked good, and removing them is a huge pain in the ass. I loathe them so much I would never buy a house with them because the inevitable removal is absolutely dreadful.
why wouldn't you just unscrew the ply wood off? and remove it all together vs messing with removing the tile since you are putting quartz over it?
If your putting in laminate should you remove the plywood underneath?
I’m agreeing with your method, just hire someone. Looks like a messy, painful way to spend a few days!
Great video to show me what I'm in for. Our kitchen is a bit smaller, but we do have windows I'm thinking of covering with plywood during the tile removal. In a couple spots near our sink and stove, the grout cracked, which allowed small amounts of water to seep in over almost 4 decades. The plywood underneath those spots has swollen, and pushed the tiles upward slightly. This has caused the cracks and subsequent seepage to increase, exacerbating the swelling and unevenness of the plywood surface. Would replacing the plywood be the best bet at this point?
I have seen other videos that show you can pop off the plywood without removing the tiles individually. Seems much much easier to remove plywood and replacing it is super easy too. Thoughts?
so we have a bad tile job, and want to remove it and redo. what is it that can be done to the actual plywood to make it a counter top
There are way easier (less messy) ways to remove raw edges… just saying.
I will ask my question after
