Hiring in Atlanta
- Get three quotes in writing. In a metro like Atlanta, quotes for the same bathroom can differ by 30% or more.
- Separate labor from materials. If a quote is one number, ask for the split — installers often mark up tile 10–20%.
- Ask about demo. Tear-out and disposal in Atlanta typically adds $2.10–$4.80 per square foot and is not always included.
- Check wet-area experience. Shower waterproofing failures are the most expensive tile mistake — ask for photos of past shower work.
