What is the average price per sq-ft for tile installation for a kitchen Apex NC?

Answer 1

Labor Prices

Fees & charges change from town to town, region to region, the best ways I can suggest to find a good range is :

Run a short ad in Craigslist, that will likely get you someone hungry & maybe unlicensed so you will know the cheapest price.

Then call the local Home Depot or Lowes & ask what they charge if you buy your tile from them?

That will be the highest price in the market

Now you would have a good range & then its time to look for quality & references. a steal on tile or a great price on labor, can be VERY COSTLY if you give the job to a butcher..

My bet will be you will find someone on the low end at about $2 per sq ft & that the depot will be $6-8 bucks a foot after they do all the add ins.

Get it in writing. Never pay for it all upfront

ANSWERIn the greater Raleigh area the cost to install (including average priced tile) is about $8-11/sf. The cost can go higher depending on what you are putting the tile on top of. It also varies if you are doing a diagonal pattern or decorative border. Laying the tile on the diagonal does make the room appear larger. If it is a slab foundation that is relatively level that is the cheapest. If you are on a crawl space, they will have to add an underlayment before they can add the tile or you will have serious problems with cracking and settling. The retailers are usually reasonable for doing this as they employ independent contractors who must guarantee their work. Make sure you get a few extra tiles! Another route is to contact the Home Builders Association in Raleigh and ask for a tile contractor or a remodeler referral.
