How much would you expect to pay someone to...

[jfall]

Lay approx. 300 square feet of ceramic tile? Just for the labor, not including material costs etc.

 

[Malak]

2 beers and $100.

 

[richardycc]

depends on a lot of factors, but probably around $1000-$2000.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Depends on the market average?

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

I was expecting a more exciting service.

Around here, it's between $4 and $6/ per sq. ft. for the labor.

Get yourself a Do-it-yourself book and about 8 hours of your own labor. Or spend $1,500+ to pay some idiot to come and do it.

I would expect to pay $20-$25/hour.

qft. laying tile, unless you have some funny cuts to make, isnt anything special. get a book, and check out DIYtv for some videos to learn how its done.

I always had my wife pay with sexual favors. Of course, I've always done all the work myself too 😛

 

[IronWing]

$1000-1500 depending on local market.

ive got hooked into projects for the same deal. Expect Im pretty sure its a 6'er

Maybe I will take the DIY approach. I thought it might cost $200-300 to get someone to do it, not over $1,000.

The room looks fairly easy, other than one wall is on an angle. Here is a diagram of what it looks like: floor.gif (it's actually about 250 square feet total)

It's a basement floor, currently concrete. Is there any problem laying ceramic tile directly on clean concrete? Or would I need a sub-floor or some other product under it?

 

[HomeAppraiser]

I hate cutting tile at an angle. Concrete is prefered as long as it is level. How big are the tiles?

Let's see..you're in Mexico?

 

[mundane]

Any pointers for someone interested in doing some countertop tile work? I only meet one of the three criteria (ready, willing, and able).

As others have suggested around $4-5 per sq ft. Concrete would be the easiest install. If you do it yourself make sure there is no large cracks in the floor and if there is use a crack barrier.

If you DIY it will take you much longer than 8 hours.
