Reading the table for a 12x24 space
Notice how the installed range widens as tiers climb: material choice, not labor, is what separates a $2,027 job from a $11,085 one on the same 288 sq ft floor plan. Labor for mid-range tile lands near $2,880 nationally, plus or minus your state's rate. All rows include the 10% cut-waste pros actually order.
