        "text": "Several factors influence the cost of kitchen tile work, including square footage, tile material, and prep requirements. Natural stone like marble requires specialized handling and sealers, which costs more to install than standard subway tile. Subfloor condition is another major variable: damaged subflooring, uneven drywall, or previous water damage must be repaired before tiles can be laid flat. Labor costs also increase for intricate patterns such as herringbone, mosaics on mesh, or spaces requiring numerous detailed cuts around kitchen islands, electrical outlets, and plumbing fixtures.",

        "description": "Costs depend on square footage, tile type (like ceramic versus natural marble), subfloor or drywall repairs, and the complexity of the cut pattern."
