What tile costs, in plain English
We get the same questions on every estimate, so we wrote the answers down. Real numbers for our area, and the reasons behind them.
Tile layouts, explained
What each pattern costs to install, per square foot
Straight lay, offset, herringbone, chevron, hex, large format. How much more labor each one takes, what a shower wall costs versus a floor, and a worked example for a typical hall bath.
For homeowners planning a shower, floor, or backsplash
How long a tile job takes
A week for a small bathroom, two for a full one
Every tile job runs through the same five phases: demo, prep and rough-in, setting tile, grout and finishes, cure time. Where the days go, typical schedules by job type, a hall bath day by day, and what stretches a job.
For homeowners planning around a bathroom being out of service
Why three bathroom quotes came back so different
The business models behind the numbers
The same hall bath can quote at $4,000, $9,000, and $22,000. The four kinds of contractor behind those bids, what each dollar buys and where it stops buying a better bathroom, five questions for comparing quotes, and where we sit.
For homeowners holding two or three bids that do not agree
