In Mass. I am paying $5.00 per foot to install ceramic, $6.00 a foot

stone tile, *on fully prepped floors*. Preparation includes

underlayment and

sometimes
supplies the thin set mortar, sometimes not. I supply tile and grout

additives, and sometimes pay for the thin set.
What is travertine?


Travertine is a nice, open pored stone. Most of it comes from Italy I
believe. You can get it with the pores open (kind of swiss cheese
like) or with the pores filled. Obviously you don't want the open
stuff in areas that need frequent cleaning or outdoors in freeze
territory.

How much do you charge your customers for that tile installation?
