I am looking for someone to lay approximately 300 square feet of tile. Does anyone know of any reputable people/contractors in the Phoenix area?

Your laying tiles, marble....what exactly

sundevil_CL

I'm laying about 150 sf of 18x18" and another 200 sf of 13x13" porcelin tile

italian_spak

your going with a pattern floor?

sundevil_CL

No, I'm doing the 18" in the kichten and the 13" in the bathrooms and laundry rooms

how much do they charge you per sq. ft?

sundevil_CL

That's what I'm trying to determine. The place I bought the tile from said "starting at $2.95 per foot" I was hoping to find someone to do it for substantially less or else I will try doing it myself

^ wow. My guy charges like 2.25/ sq ft (pending the floor is ready to go). If you need to remove OLD tile, then he charges like 2.50/sq ft and maybe a few hundred more for the extra work.

2.50$ us should be around 4$ can i think, if so its in the norms for the right price, but you cant just base yourself on the price, you gotta care the most about the quality of the polymer mortar that is used cause theres just some cheap cheap crap out there that costs nothing at all and just makes the tiles come loose after a year maybe before, a bag of mortar at 10$ and one at 30$ changes your sq price by alot, but its all in the quality , so if you think about it and all the investemtn your making are you gonna cry for a couple hundreds more???

I charge 4.50$ a SQ in canada, and i use exterior grade mortar for my interior installs , id rather invest more in the quality of my products than getting customers running after me for some tiles that come off the floors

Did you end up finding someone?

I've got a buddy that does tile but I'm not sure if he does jobs of this size. If you want you can PM me your phone # and I can have him call you with a bid. I assume you already have the tile?

sundevil_CL

Yes, I've found someone to do it for about $2.00 per foot. Thanks.
