bordering existing carpet with tile: bringing the hearth up to code

FrancesandDavid · Nov 2, 2009, 07:34 PM

We just moved and our new place, as it turns out, is not up to code. The hearth has to be extended. Plus we would like to improve its looks. So, we're planning to cover it with tiles and then extend the tiles a bit on the floor in order to match the code. There is a carpet on the floor. How would a professional handle the carpet/tile border?

Thanks sincerely,
Frances & David

That makes sense except i am seeing the rate option attached to other posts including my own.

That definitely jives with my experience so far.

Thanks again,
