Tile material alone typically runs $1–$7/sq ft for standard porcelain and ceramic; installation labor is usually $6.50–$10/sq ft depending on site conditions. Premium stone and specialty tile cost more.
Based on standard to mid-range tile ($8–$18/sq ft); premium tile and complex layouts run higher. $500 job minimum. Get a written quote for your specific project, or a 60-second ballpark.
Installed price per square foot, tile and labor together.
| Tile size | Type | Installed price per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 12x12 | Standard | $8–$12 |
| 12x24 | Standard | $8–$12 |
| 24x24 | Large-format | $12–$18 |
| 24x48 | Large-format | $12–$18 |
| 48x48 and larger | Oversized | Quoted per job |
| Wood-look plank tile | Large-format | $12–$18 |
| Mosaics, herringbone, diagonal | Complex layout | $18–$25 |
Larger tile costs more to install because the floor has to be flatter, the tile is heavier to handle and it takes more thinset. Removing old flooring and floor leveling are priced separately.
24x48 tile installation in Jacksonville costs $12–$18 per square foot installed, tile and labor together. That is about $4–$6 more per square foot than a standard 12x24 tile ($8–$12), because a 24x48 tile needs a flatter floor, more thinset and more careful handling to set without lippage. For a 200 sq ft room, plan on roughly $2,400–$3,600, plus removal of the old floor or leveling if your slab needs it.
Subfloor prep is often the biggest variable in tile costs. Tile requires a very flat, stable substrate — within 1/8" over 10 feet for large-format tile. If your subfloor has dips, waves, or soft spots, leveling compound or additional prep adds to the cost but is non-negotiable for a tile job that lasts.
Tile size matters for labor. Larger tiles require more precise layout, heavier handling, and more thinset. A 24x48 tile takes longer to set correctly than a 12x24 tile, even if it covers the same area.
Pattern complexity adds labor. A straight lay is fastest. Offset patterns add some time. Diagonal, herringbone, and custom patterns add significantly more labor and often 15–20% more material waste.
Grout choice matters. Epoxy grout (recommended for kitchens) is harder to work with and adds cost. Unsanded, sanded, and urethane grouts each have their application.
Installed tile in Jacksonville runs $8 to $25 per square foot, material and labor included. Standard ceramic and porcelain runs $8–$12, large-format and wood-look porcelain $12–$18, and premium tile or complex layouts like herringbone $18–$25.
In Jacksonville, 24x48 tile runs $12 to $18 per square foot installed, tile and labor together. That is about $4 to $6 more per square foot than standard 12x24 tile because large-format tile needs a flatter floor, more thinset and more careful handling. Removing the old floor and leveling are priced separately.
Key factors include tile size (larger tiles cost more to install), pattern (diagonal and herringbone cost more), subfloor condition (leveling adds cost), removal of existing flooring, grout type, and whether a crack-isolation membrane is required.
Usually, yes. Installed tile runs $8–$25 per square foot vs. $8–$17 for LVP all-in. Tile takes more labor, more materials (thinset, grout, membrane), and a longer install, so the gap widens with larger or more complex tile.
A typical bathroom floor takes 1–2 days. A kitchen or main living area takes 2–4 days depending on size. Large-format tile with complex layouts can take longer due to drying time between stages.
