How tile installers usually price
Tile setters price per square foot with a minimum, or per room for common jobs like a bathroom floor or a backsplash. Prep, large tiles and patterns are priced on top.
Our guide on pricing tile work walks through it step by step, from your labor rate to the price on the estimate.
Where the ranges come from
6 of the 10 services carry a range. Each one comes from a koira.ai calculator that lists the cost guides behind it and the date they were checked: tile installation cost calculator, flooring cost calculator. They are national figures; the calculators scale the labor share to your state's wages when you enter a ZIP.
Lines marked "Set your own" have no range we could source well enough to publish. Price them from your own hours and parts.
