"The tile floor in our master shower was literally falling apart. It was past time for us to act, so we scheduled one of those popular TV commercial companies to come out and take a look. The lady that visited was nice but the estimated she offered was not. All that money to replace just the small shower area with some ultra-thin plastic paneling glued to the wall? It was outrageous. There had to be a better option. So my wife and I looked on Angi for a local business and found Patriot Flooring. We received a call almost immediately after submitting our request. James and Tammy came out in almost no time. Right away we could tell these were not flashy commissioned based Salespeople but rather seasoned professionals with decades of experience and a Class A contractor license. James quickly provided all the information on how we could get our problem fixed. Not only would he remove the old tile from the shower area but also the bath and replace both with tile our choice. All this at a fraction of the cost we were quoted by the big-name brand company. In a couple of weeks, James and Vance were onsite to begin. Both are very courteous and respectful. The removal of the old tile was completed in about a day. James let us know some of the incorrect practices he was seeing done by the original installer like having no moisture barrier on the walls, putting nails through what is supposed to be the waterproof membrane around the bottom of the shower and so much more. We also had a horrible build-up in our shower drain due to debris from the original material. James was able to replace the blocked-up portion of the drain included as part of the project. Every evening my wife and I would look at the progress. It seemed a little slow at first but doing things right can take time. James was upfront before the work began about the timetable, so this was expected. Each step from putting in the pre-float, assembling the new membrane, overnight water testing to check for leaks, pouring the cement base of the new shower pan, applying the Red Gard, setting all the new tile, grouting, and reinstalling the fixtures (probably missing some steps), is not something you should expect to all be completed overnight. Day by day our new shower and bath took shape. Every day James would give us an update and answer any questions. Soon enough we had our new beautiful, tiled shower and bath. There was no question during this project that we had selected the right company for the job. James and his team take pride in the work they do, and it was apparent every step of the way. My wife and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re looking for quality work at a reasonable price, look no further. You can believe all the 5-star reviews and ours as well."

Labor costs for ceramic tile installation range from $3 to $15 per square foot, varying based on your location and project complexity. Basic grid patterns on well-prepared surfaces fall toward the lower end of this range, while intricate designs or installations requiring extensive preparation command premium rates. Most professionals calculate charges based on square footage rather than hourly rates, with labor representing 60 to 70% of the total project cost.
For a 1000-square-foot ceramic tile installation, expect to pay between $12,000 and $45,000 total, though most standard residential projects trend toward the lower half of this range. This breaks down to $12 to $45 per square foot for materials and labor combined. Projects of this magnitude often qualify for volume discounts, potentially reducing your per-square-foot cost, especially when using standard tile types and straightforward installation patterns.
Tile installation requires significant expertise, specialized tools, and meticulous attention to detail throughout multiple labor-intensive stages. Professionals must properly prepare surfaces, apply appropriate adhesives, precisely cut and place each tile, and finish with proper grouting and sealing. The process involves critical waiting periods between steps for proper curing. Improper installation can lead to expensive problems, including water damage, cracked tiles, and mold growth, making professional expertise particularly valuable.
The 3/4/5 rule uses basic geometry to ensure tile layouts begin with perfectly square corners. Installers measure three feet along one wall and four feet along the perpendicular wall, then verify that the diagonal between these points measures exactly five feet. This triangulation technique, based on the Pythagorean theorem, confirms right angles and helps prevent alignment problems that would become increasingly noticeable as installation progresses across the room.
