How much do you think it will be to put tiles on a kitchen floor and to paint a 1,474 square ft house.?

Question

I just want an estimate and where is the best place to go. Is home depot good.

i wash thinking about linoleum nothing too fancy. and the kitchen is about 12 by 18

Answer 1

What kind of tile?
What size tile?
What size is the kitchen?
Straight lay or a pattern?
What is the sub floor?
What is on the sub floor now?

With the information you have provided, the estimate for your kitchen floor will run anywhere from $0.01 to the billions.

The people at the homo depo are idiots.

A year and a half ago we built a new house. DH laid all the tile for the kitchen, rear hallway, laundry room and two bathrooms (600 square feet, or so). The cost for the tile, mortar, matching grout mix, and tools from Home Depot was just over $3000, with another $600 for the cement backer board and screws needed. It's a big job and we saved the cost of labor to install it. You can rent the tile saws or borrow them if you know someone who owns them, but the $80 cost for one of HD's wet saws wasn't bad if you wanted to buy one. The labor would have made this job about 10 grand. If you're going to do this, buy a couple of pairs of good knee pads, which is what made this job bearable. BTW, this is not a weekend job for one guy, no matter what the home improvement shows on DIY say.

We also put in about 1200 square feet of oak hardwood flooring (the real stuff, not the plastic) ourselves, with a crew of 6 of our kids and friends in two weekends. The materials cost was about $5000 because my husband works for a building supply company and got the flooring pretty close to the supplier's cost with his discount. We had a couple of floor nailers available, and my son is a carpenter and a couple of the crew had laid hardwood before.

Is either job perfect? No, but the estimate I got when I shopped flooring contractors was $16000 for for the hardwood flooring and installation alone.

I did price my tiles at several tile and flooring retailers and the best price was Home Depot, but it is a special order for that much tile when it is not a shelf stock item (many of the tiles they show samples for as available are NOT stock items) and took a three week lead time with a 2/3 down payment and it's not returnable without a big restocking charge. I also found that their estimates of what would be needed with a box or two of backstock for future repairs was short by at least one box of tile for the small rooms (we had JUST enough tile to finish and we weren't wasting it). So be prepared to order at least one extra box for a less than 200 sq ft room and two for every 200 square feet more larger areas to be on the safe side since you can't necessarily get the same color lot on a reorder and they often stick out like a sore thumb.

We also painted the entire interior ourselves after the quotes I got were also in the range of $10,000 for a primer and single coat of color. The paint cost to us (again we bought through DH's employer, so we did get a discount) for 7 rooms, 2 baths and a laundry room, roughly 6000 square feet of paint, was about $1000. Our crew of kids (these kids are all 25 and over) worked with us the week between Christmas and New Year's and we painted the entire house, primer, finish coat on the ceilings, two coats on the walls. Again, we got good paint (Benjamin Moore), custom colors, and good rollers and brushes to do the work.

i have dealt with home depot near me and found them to be helpful and competetive in prices. as far as putting down tile, it will depend on the type of tile you want to lay. 1 box of tiles will usually cover 15 square ft and a 12 x 18 floor will take approximately 15 boxes. you can call home depot and they will give you the box price. just multiply that by 15 and you will have a pretty close figure on the cost.

Answer 4

It dependa on how big the kitchen is and what type of subflooring you have, and what kind of tile you want. A safe estimate is @3-4 per sq foor not including intallation. As far as your house is concerned are you paintin inside or out. That will make a big difference in price.

Answer 5

Depends on the size of the kitchen. For a 1475 sq ft, you'd need 5 to 6 gallons of paint. Not counting if you need to use primer.

Answer 6

I think Home Depot or Lowe's has an online estimator. It depends on how big the tiles are too though. Keep us posted as to what you selected - I always like to see how others decorate their spaces.

You can get great home decor accessories at http://www.simplfiedwonders.com too.

It's a great place to get gifts and decorating knick knacks at reasonable prices. Great Holiday stuff too!
