labor rate for kitchen wall tile, per sq. foot?
Answers:
Call a tile sales company and give them the particulars and they can tell you what the going rate is in your town.
Other answers:
Prices vary widely around the country. A Charge $5 a sq ft for labor is fair. Prep work is extra, diagonal and other special patterns are extra, stone tiles are extra and mosaics are extra. Travel time and jobsite conditions also come into play. Figure out the time for the whole job and figure in what you want in your pocket each day after expenses. Whatever that comes to, work it into an hourly rate or a square ft rate or a whole job rate. Whole job is easiest to deal with, any add-ons become extras.

This varies quite a bit depending on your location in the US. also with the Tile which you plan to install. Check out the link below is teh defacto construction estimator. I think they have a quick estimator that works per dsicpline.
The most honest estimate that you will get is going to home depo, or lowes. There price is pretty consistent and typically on the high side. So you figure a local journeyman should give you something in the range of 10- 15 % less.
my husband does tile for a living in florida and he charges $9 per sq. foot for counter tops.
the going rate it about 5 a sqr foot, but since its a friend and they but the materials, you really should do it for free, but if its a friend that want to pay do it for half or maybe 100.00 and a beer after you are done.
