What is the average price per square foot for tile installation in New England?
I pay my subcontract installers $5 per foot on if over 100 sq foot. They provide labor, all tools, thinset and clean up. They must be insured for $250k. (located in CT. would vary by area I'd guess)
Keep in mind that is the price for a contractor paying a sub contractor. I tack my profit on top of that.
Any other work such as adding a layer of subfloor is extra.

Installing hardwood floors over tile?
A number of factors come into play here in regards to a successful installation over tile. In this case we're referring to ceramic tile. Providing the existing tile is sound and secured securely to the subfloor a floating floor is the preferred method. However, finished flooring height can cause problems with adjourning floor coverings, door swings, entries, and appliances; should they be in the installation area.
For instance let's say the ceramic tile is 3/8" in height. By adding a floating engineered hardwood you increase the overall height of the floor. Considering thicknesses of hardwood floors that can be floated can vary from 5/16" up to 9/16" adjacent carpet areas are now much lower that can create trip hazards. Installers generally improve this situation by ramping the carpeted subfloor area with shims. This allows for a less noticeable transition because hardwood flooring manufacturers do not produce a true transition piece that deals with this issue.
Glue down engineered hardwoods are a possible alternative, but should only be considered by very experienced professionals. One needs a flat and acceptable tile surface to accomplish successfully. One that has also been modified by scarifying to accept a good adhesive bond. In my opinion, removal of tile will provide a better overall solution to the above possible alternatives.
How many 18 inch tiles will it take to tile a 8x18 foot room?
An 18-inch square tile is 1.5 feet on a side. So the area of each tile 1.52 = is 2.25 square feet. The room is 8 x 18 = 144 square feet. Divide 144 by 2.25 to get 64 tiles, which is your answer if your question is a pure math one (like on a test or homework assignment). But if you're really tiling a room, you will have to buy more, to account for breakage and cutting the half tiles around the perimeter. Most professionals say to add five or even ten percent, so you should buy about 70 tiles. You can always return any unopened boxes.

Do you get charged by square foot or square yard when having carpet installed?
In Europe we all get charged by square meters when having carpet installed. It depends on the store. Not many years ago everyone in the US priced their carpet, pad, and installation by the square yard. Then someone realized they could advertise much lower prices if they changed everything to square feet. Now most flooring is sold by the square foot, but it seems most still install by the square yard (plus a surcharge for steps and odd shapes).

What is the average cost to install tile?
It varies greatly from product to product and from market
to market. The best way to get an answer is to put an ad on Craigslist
telling what you want installed, ie..
12' porcelain tile overwood subfloor,
new construction, 400 sq feet.
The lesson here is that the more detail you put in the ad, the better the quote.. You will have to understand that not every installer has Golden Hands, some are thieves & butchers, so you may not always want the low bidder..
