When to use and what to include

Build and revise pricing online, then generate a client-ready quote PDF. Use this after measuring the space and discussing tile selections when a homeowner or contractor asks for written pricing on floor, wall, backsplash, or shower tile installation.

What to include

  • Property address, room(s) to be tiled, total square footage per surface (floor, wall, accent), and substrate condition (concrete slab, plywood subfloor, cement board, existing tile).
  • Tile specification per area: tile material (ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, glass), size (e.g., 12x24, 3x12 subway, 2x2 mosaic), pattern (straight lay, running bond, herringbone, basketweave), and whether tile is customer-supplied or included in quote.
  • Installation materials specified for the tile, substrate, environment, and system: mortar, backer or underlayment, waterproofing, grout, sealant, movement-joint materials, product references, quantities, and colors.
  • Labor breakdown per area: surface preparation (leveling, backer board install, waterproofing), tile setting per square foot, cutting complexity surcharge (diagonal cuts, niche shelves, mosaic inlays), grouting, and sealing if natural stone.
  • A measured material allowance for cuts, breakage, pattern, layout, and attic stock, plus the timeline estimate, permitted deposit terms, and quote validity period.

Common questions

Can I build and revise this Tiling Quote / Estimate online before sending it?
Yes. Update scope of work, quantities, labor, and totals in your browser, then generate a polished Tiling Quote / Estimate PDF.
Can I save this Tiling Quote / Estimate and reuse it for similar jobs?
Yes. With an account, save the estimate in your history, edit it later, and reuse relevant line items and job details for similar work.
Can I export this Tiling Quote / Estimate with finalized pricing and terms?
Yes. Download a clean PDF with the final scope of work, line items, totals, terms, and customer details ready to send.
What thinset should I specify for large-format tiles?
For tiles 15 inches or larger, specify large-format mortar (LFT), back-buttering, coverage targets, and lippage tolerances on the quote.
How much tile waste should I include?
Calculate waste from the room dimensions, tile size, layout, pattern repeats, cuts, breakage allowance, attic stock, and supplier packaging. State the percentage and assumptions used for that job.
Do I need to quote waterproofing separately?
Yes. Waterproofing for showers and wet areas (membrane, curb, niche lining) is a separate scope of work from tile setting. Break it out so the customer sees the cost and understands why shower tile costs more than a kitchen floor.
How do I make my estimates look professional?
Add your company details, itemized labor and materials, totals, schedule, and terms so the customer can review the full estimate in one PDF.
Should I email or text my estimates?
Download the formatted PDF and send it by email or message so the customer can open, print, and keep the complete job details.
