Painting workmanship

actually is small reno only. Wont be that expensive i think.

If say like that, let say my room 120sf require to install 2*2 tiles.
One 2*2 tiles around $16, per sf is $4, so workmanship is $8/sf, means 1sf tiles + workmanship = $12
120sf = 12 * 120 = $1440, so pricing around 1.5k to install 2 * 2 tiles in a 120sf room, right?
