There are many factors to consider when a tile installation is priced for a client; what is the substrate? how is it prepared? what else needs to be done to the surface to insure a proper installation? what kind of tile is being used and is it the right kind of tile for the area? what type of thinset and grout will be used based on the application and other materials? Is the area considered a wet area? does proper drainage exist or does it need to be sloped? There are man considerations that cannot all be listed here. However, quality tile installations require:
1. A reputable company
2. Skilled installers
3. Correct methods
4. Quality setting materials
5. Coverage
6. Substrate integrity
7. Movement joints
8. Controlled conditions
9. Cure time
10. Crack isolation
The National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA) is the trade association for installation professionals. There is a list of installers throughout the country under "find a contractor." These professionals understand industry standards. They have a Standards and Methods Committee which writes those standards for tile installation in the United States and tile and product manufacturers prefer that these skilled professionals install their products to guarantee a quality installation.
Also consider an NTCA 5-Star Contractor - these contractors use CTEF Certified Installers who are trained and tested to industry standards and have met several other criteria including recommendations from owners. The NTCA 5-Star Contractors have gone above the industry standards to earn this designation.

In southeastern PA, the cost of installing porcelain tile should begin around $4.00 per square foot. This price represents a basic installation of simple 12 X 12 tile over a smooth, flat concrete surface. Upgrades would include a large format tile (larger than 12 X 12), a patterned installation, or any special considerations such as expansion joints and transitions. If the tile is being installed over a plywood sub-floor, an approved cement or fiber-cement based subfloor must be installed prior to the installation of the tile. This labor charge usually runs about $2.00 per square foot (materials are additional). Grout installation is included in the tile installation labor charge. Installation of tile on walls in showers and kitchens is usually higher and usually requires a site visit prior to pricing.
