Notes and additional information forServiceWhale Ceramic Tile Installation Estimator

The suggested prices are for standard averages on ceramic tile installed on pre-prepared surfaces. The tools and materials needed for the installation are based on indoor and outdoor ceramic tile installation. If exotic laminate floors are to be installed, or if the installation pattern is sophisticated, prices will increase and require an onsite estimate visit with a contractor. The laminate floor installation prices given by the ServiceWhale Cost Estimator are NOT official quotes from contractors. Get a custom quote instantly from a local, pre-screened contractor here

Scope for ServiceWhale Ceramic Tile Installation Guide includes:

  1. Removal of the existing flooring (if present):

    prices are estimated based on ServiceWhale laminate installation historic pricing. Each case is evaluated individually depending on furniture in the room(s), size, location, house levels, type of existing floor, sub-floor type, and disposal regulations as your local law requirements demand.

  2. Installation of new ceramic tile flooring:

    prices are estimated based on ServiceWhale historic pricing for regular installation of new ceramic tile. Installation in special patterns, custom ceramic tile types, mixed installation and other complications in installation are not included in the estimator. For exotic ceramic tiles or sophisticated custom installation it is recommended to contact with professional contractor and or conduct onsite estimate.

  3. Cost of related materials and supplies typically required to install ceramic floor tile including:

    fabrication and polishing disposables,manufacturer recommended underlayment, fasteners, ceramic cutter, laser beam level, adhesives and surface sealants, typically required to install new ceramic tile floor are included in the price. Contractors are responsible for all materials needed for installation.
