How Much Does Limestone Flooring Cost?

Limestone Flooring Installation Cost Factors

Limestone flooring installation costs can increase with factors like the stone type, the size of the room you&#;re installing limestone flooring, whether the room has steps, and removing existing tiles. 

You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.

Stone Type

The type of stone or the limestone finish can impact the installation price. Accent and mosaic tiles run the most expensive, with some ranging up to $30 per square foot or more. Installing mosaic tiles requires more time and can increase labor costs.

Different finishes can have higher prices. A honed finish typically costs less than a water-worn, brushed, and polished finish. The drawback of less expensive limestone is that it can be softer and more porous. 

Room Size

Bigger rooms mean more materials and additional labor costs. A typical bathroom is between 40 and 100 square feet, while an average kitchen can be between 240 and 360 square feet. Those costs could add up if you opt to have a mosaic style.

Steps

Cutting limestone for steps can mean specific cuts or unusual shapes, so it&#;s a good idea to overestimate the square footage of a project. Overestimating can also account for any breakages during installation, plus adhering limestone steps could require additional materials. The cost for stone steps is around $700 to $2,000 with installation.

Removal of Existing Tile

Tile removal costs around $2 to $4 per square foot, and dumping costs from $300 to $1,000, depending on the weight. If you choose to recycle the tile, this can cost $150 to $500. Typically, a local flooring installer will roll removal costs into the installation price. 

You can choose the DIY route, but it can be a messy, labor-intensive job with potential danger if not done carefully. Removing tile could damage a ceiling underneath the tile, or you could discover asbestos. Removing cement or adhesive can also require products with toxic and flammable fumes, which need proper ventilation and safety.
