You don t say what kind of tile your putting in, vinyl tile or a ceramic tile but vinyl tile can go as low as .5o to . 75 cents a s/f w/o having to do ant prep work ( such as a new 1/4" luan floor. Ceramic tile can go from 4/6$ a s/f depending on what prep work need to be done and this won t include the under layment needed for ceramic, unless your over slab and then none is needed.

Go to Lowe's or home Depot and find out home much installation would be with the dimensions you have. They can give you an idea of how much that would be. As far as installing it and not having it take forever to install it, I would say that you would need one person doing the cutting only (outside the house) with a miter saw and at least 2 people installing the floor and putting marks on the wood pieces to let the saw person know where the pieces are supposed to be cut. that way you could probably do all of it in a full day 9-5 or 9-6....You also need to buy overage because depending on what the actual layout of the room is you will have to cut pieces to fit the measurements of the room... Try to find someone that has done it already, that can help as well.....It looks easy, but may not always be so easy once you are doing it, well that's what I found out when I helped someone else install one...<br><b>References : </b><br> I think if you get a decent middle of the road wood floor that it would cost you around 8/SF to furnish and install..
