Why Colorado prices differ from national averages
Material prices are fairly consistent nationwide — a box of tile costs about the same in every big-box store. What moves is labor. Installer day rates in Colorado track local cost of living and contractor demand, which is why Floormath applies a 0.91 multiplier to installation, demolition, baseboard, and stair labor for Colorado projects, while material stays at list price.
A mid-range example: Large-Format Porcelain installed at $10.00/sf nationally becomes about $9.10/sf in Colorado.
