Tile Labor Cost in DFW

[Eric Kephart]

Just curious.  Have tile installation costs risen recently?  Haven't had to do ceramic in awhile and just got quoted a bit over 3k labor for appx 275 sq ft of floor, a tub shower,  30" a stand up shower, half wall of one small bathroom (maybe 60ft), and about 18 ln ft of backsplash.  12x24 on walls and floor, 12x12 mosiacs on the backsplash.  And to lay only, cement board is already done.

Doesn't seem California outrageous, but I would have expected 1.5k to 2k.  Unfortunately the tile guy I used last has dropped off the face of the Earth.
