$8000 seems somewhat high to me. I did about 1100 square feet in my home, everywhere except the bedrooms. This included everything. Remove old tile and carpet, remove it to the dump, special sealing under the floor (forget what it was called, something to prevent floor cracks cracking the tile), laying the tile diagonally, tile, grout, sealing the grout, and clean up. Removing tile was $1 a square foot, Install was $1.50 a square foot, I did get a deal on the tile as it was a close out price at .78 cents a 16 by 16 tile, and all the other materials was a total cost of under $4000. I thought is was around $3400, but when I went back and checked everything it was closer to $4000. I guess the difference could have been the cost of the tile as I know that can vary from .50 cents to $8 a square foot. But everything except the tile came in at about $3.20 a square foot.
