Question:

labor cost for installing 50 quare feet of tile?

tiles on back splash, work done in south florida, 4x4 inch tiles

Answer:

The price of tiling depends mostly on who's installing the tile and things like. extra for a diagonal, a basic install price starts at around $5-$10 sq ft and have heard of up to $25 sq ft depending on the complexity of the pattern.
Tile labor usually runs in the 3/5$ a s/f range. Doing a back splash usually closer to the 5$ a s/f .. This is a labor intensive job ( not hard just a lot of cuts etc) and with that amount of s/f it will run a day and a half, maybe 2 full days with the grouting and clean up.Any one telling you different isn t doing quality work. This price doesn t include the tile, adhesive or grout. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL
shouldnt be know more then 125 - 150
I charge around 5 a s/f and if u believe the other tile setters on the forums they are getting much more than i am. I work for 3-$3.50 for builders for basic 12x12 installations. The price goes up for different tiles/sizes/custom/complicated installs.
