Hiring in Jacksonville

  • Get three quotes in writing. In a metro like Jacksonville, 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 Jacksonville typically adds $1.97–$4.51 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.

Do the math first
