Replacing Kitchen Tiles

My kitchen needed re-tiling too.

I paid $700 for demolition. The guy tore out all the old tiles up to just behind the existing cabinets.

I installed Ditra and the new tiles myself, but I've been told installation is $5-$10/square foot.

Excluding the cost of new tiles, can anyone guesstimate the cost to remove the old tiles and replace? Would the cupboards have to be removed or would the new tiles butt up against the cupboards’ base?

My 4 year old GTA North guesstimate based on doing 750sq ft (kitchen/laundry/2 pce bath/hall/front foyer)
Smaller job might be higher price
$3.50 per square foot plus HST (demo and removal of old tile)
$13.00 per square foot plus HST (Superseal/Thinset/quickdrive screws/levelers/transitions and install of 18*36 tile)
We bought the tiles separate so not included in above

I would definitely remove everything under the cupboards and re-tile the entire area with new. Would suck if you ever decide to replace the old cupboards and didn't use the same configuration and then had to redo a section. Floor Cupboard are only held to wall with a few screws so easy to remove.

We were replacing entire kitchen cabinetry so it was a no brainier.
