Unlike typical flooring companies or one-man operations, Footprints Floors isn’t focused on selling you products—we’re dedicated to providing outstanding customer service. Many other companies require you to buy flooring directly from them to use their installation services, limiting your options and potentially guiding you toward choices that may not suit your needs. At Footprints Floors, we install any flooring material you want, regardless of where you purchased it. This approach allows us to remain unbiased and genuinely focused on helping you choose the best solutions for your unique situation. We offer a comprehensive range of services including hardwood installation, wood floor refinishing, tile installations, backsplashes, bathroom remodels, carpet, sheet vinyl, exterior flooring, and more. Because we handle all types of flooring, we’ll never steer you away from refinishing an existing floor or combining different flooring types throughout your home. We have strong relationships with various reputable vendors such as Floor and Decor, ProSource, Shaw, Coretec, and others. This means we can assist you in sourcing materials at discounted prices, and we even offer pick-up and delivery directly to your home, further simplifying your project. Our commitment extends beyond just installation. My production manager visits your job site daily to ensure quality standards are consistently met. We’re dedicated to completing your project efficiently, showing up every day—including weekends—until the job is done to your satisfaction. In short, at Footprints Floors, we’re not just in the flooring business; we’re in the customer service business, dedicated to making your flooring project smooth and stress-free.

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.
