Reading the table for a 18x22 space
Notice how the installed range widens as tiers climb: material choice, not labor, is what separates a $2,787 job from a $15,242 one on the same 396 sq ft floor plan. Labor for mid-range tile lands near $3,960 nationally, plus or minus your state's rate. All rows include the 10% cut-waste pros actually order.
