How much do Tile jobs cost in Bloomington, IN?

We combine OEWS wages for Tile and Stone Setters with published hours/materials assumptions. Treat the table as a planning band, then collect bids. This page uses the national OEWS mean because no local wage cell is published.

Where do the wages come from?
