Why this invoice template matters

Tile installation quality depends heavily on proper substrate preparation that customers rarely see. Detailed invoices separate tile materials from installation labor, show prep work like leveling and waterproofing, and document grout and sealing. This helps customers understand why professional installation costs more than DIY - proper prep and technique ensure tiles don't crack or come loose. Good invoicing also specifies tile type, size, and layout complexity that affect labor costs significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does tile installation cost?
Tile installation labor costs $5-$15/sq ft depending on tile size and pattern complexity. Materials add $2-$20+/sq ft. Small tiles, diagonal layouts, and intricate patterns increase labor costs 30-100%.
Should tile invoices separate materials from labor?
Yes, itemize tile materials, prep work, setting materials, and installation labor separately. This shows material quality options and helps customers understand the labor premium for complex patterns.
What prep work should be included in tile invoices?
Substrate prep is critical: floor leveling ($2-$5/sq ft), waterproofing for showers ($3-$6/sq ft), backer board ($1-$2/sq ft), crack isolation membrane ($1.50-$3/sq ft). Always itemize prep - it prevents callbacks.
How does tile size affect installation pricing?
Larger tiles (12x24, 24x24) cost less to install ($5-$8/sq ft) than small tiles. Mosaic tiles under 4x4 cost $12-$20/sq ft due to time-intensive installation. Specify tile size to justify labor differences.
