i.e. paint, flooring, cabinets, tile, etc.  

What @Nathan Gesner said ^^^^ plus....do you have other construction skills like plumbing/electrical/tile/etc?

Also, he knew one of his guys had done a bad job on the kitchen tiling and was planning to redo it.

Fortunately our remedy was fairly simple, large floor fans and new ceiling tiles but it was a massive inconvenience and the damage would likely be much worse if it repeated in units in other places.

Also when it came time to pick the finish products (tile/stone/fixtures/etc) I would request getting the manufacturer, the model #, sku#, picture if possible...everything.

Slate roof or even Spanish tile.

I would assume that it should be blocked off with some type of decorative tile or something of that nature.

Along the way, I discovered hardwood floors under the tile (unfortunately, not salvageable) and replaced them with new hardwood.
