I having my bathroom re-tiled and repainted. The re-tiling involves
the demolition of the current tile and from what I've been told will
cause a lot of mess. If I paint before I'm thinking that I'll have my
newly
painted walls covered with dust. If I paint after I risk spills on my
new tile? Any advice would be appreciated.

TIA

I'm a remodel contractor and I always paint first. Any grout or thinset
can be wiped off with water and sponge same goes for dust. I don't like
spending the time masking and covering. Touch up is easy and fast. The
time it takes masking you'd be done painting.

Paint in the bathroom should be gloss/semi which is much harder to spot
touch-up. I don't think I would want to hire a remodel contractor who
is too lazy to mask and cover things.

Tile first, mask and cover, then paint.

I'm outta here I got a 4 million dollar house in Dana Point, California I'm
remodeling and yes 2 bathrooms are involved so I won't have the time to
help people in this lame ass newsgroup. unappreciated *******s!
