Tile installation and repair in Hillsborough

Tile deliveries and parking rules in Hillsborough

Tile is heavy, and a shower job means boxes of tile, sheets of backer board and bags of thinset. Hillsborough's construction rules say parking should stay on the project site, parking plans and truck routes are strictly enforced, and crews may not park in front of mailboxes or damage parking strips. The project superintendent must also coordinate parking and deliveries with nearby construction sites.

So we plan the delivery for the driveway, inside the Town's hours of 8 to 5 on weekdays and 10 to 5 on Saturdays. For repairs, text photos of the cracked tile and the grout, plus any spare tiles you've kept. A new shower counts as a bathroom renovation on the Town's permit list, so it's contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc.

Worth knowing about Hillsborough

• Hillsborough incorporated in 1910 largely so estate owners could keep a rural setting; estates such as Uplands were subdivided between 1910 and 1938, and the half-acre minimum lot dates to 1953.
• The 1970s added more of Hillsborough's 3,821 homes than any other decade (24.5%); overall 73.6% predate 1980, and 11.4% date to 1939 or earlier.
• The Town says many Hillsborough properties and homes lie within the Wildland Urban Interface, and it maps North, South and West WUI fire zones.
