Question 1

How much does tile installation cost in Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

Most Atlanta homeowners pay $8 to $20 per square foot installed: about $8–$15 for ceramic, $10–$20 for porcelain and $15–$35 for natural stone. Labor alone runs $5–$10 per square foot, and labor plus prep is typically 50–60% of the total. The tile itself is often the smaller line item.

Question 2

How long does a tile installation take?

Accepted Answer

A standard bathroom of 75–100 square feet usually takes 2 to 4 days. A kitchen backsplash is 1 to 2 days. Whole-home flooring runs 1 to 2 weeks. Substrate repair, self-leveling and complex patterns add time, and your written estimate carries the specific schedule for your job.

Question 3

Should I choose ceramic or porcelain tile?

Accepted Answer

Porcelain is denser, less porous and harder to cut, so labor runs about 25–40% higher: $10–$20 per square foot installed versus $8–$15 for ceramic. Porcelain is the better call in showers, entryways and high-traffic floors. Ceramic is the value choice for walls, backsplashes and low-traffic rooms.

Question 4

Do you remove the old flooring?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Demolition and haul-away are part of the quote, priced around $3.50 per square foot with disposal adding $0.25–$0.75 per square foot. We inspect the subfloor once the old material is out and tell you before tiling if it needs leveling or repair, rather than discovering it mid-job.

Question 5

Can you install herringbone, chevron or mosaic patterns?

Accepted Answer

Yes: herringbone, chevron, basketweave, hexagon, diagonal layouts and custom mosaics. Complex patterns mean more cuts and more layout time, so they add roughly 20–60% to the labor line. We do a dry layout first so cuts land symmetrically instead of leaving a sliver at one wall.

Question 6

When can I walk on my new tile floor?

Accepted Answer

Light foot traffic is fine after 24 to 48 hours, and grout reaches full cure in 7 to 10 days. Wait 48 to 72 hours before using a new shower. We leave written care instructions matched to the specific tile, grout and sealer used on your job.
