| Source | Headline figures | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Angi (updated Sep 2026) | $17,349 average; most pay $8,476 – $26,223; $7 – $25 per sq. ft. installed | Labor $5 – $18 per sq. ft.; permits $250 – $500; reinforcement $1,000 – $10,000 |
| HomeAdvisor (updated Jun 2026) | Same average and range; high-end complex terracotta up to $46,000; $7 – $25 per sq. ft. | Corporate sibling of Angi – matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration. Labor $5 – $18 per sq. ft. |
| Fixr (updated Jan 2025) | $27,000 average for a defined 1,500 sq. ft. S-shaped clay job with moderate reinforcement, sealant, and inspection; range $19,000 – $35,000; low $11,250 (concrete with underlayment); high $72,450 (solar tile with removal and support) | $7 – $41 per sq. ft. all-in; labor $4 – $16 per sq. ft.; reinforcement $1,000 – $10,000 |
Angi and HomeAdvisor publish identical averages, ranges, and most tables; they are corporate siblings, so matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration. Fixr’s figures are separately published, and the pages state no shared sourcing. Scopes and defined scenarios differ, so treat the averages as labeled figures rather than one confirmed number.
