Hardwood, LVP, tile, carpet — your line items are pre-loaded. Measure the rooms, snap some photos, and have a professional estimate ready before the customer finishes picking their color.
Hardwood, LVP, tile, underlayment, labor — the stuff you actually bid on, already in there. Adjust prices to your market and go.
Homeowners trust clean, itemized estimates. Show them the breakdown — materials, prep, labor, underlayment — and close more flooring jobs.
Flooring installation requires precise square footage measurements with waste factor calculations that vary by material. Hardwood typically needs 10% waste for straight-lay and 15% for diagonal. Tile needs 10% for straight-lay and up to 20% for herringbone.
Subfloor condition is the hidden variable in flooring work. A perfectly level subfloor means quick installation. A subfloor that needs leveling compound or plywood replacement can add significantly to costs.
Flooring contractors often work across multiple product categories, each with different pricing structures. Your price book needs to accommodate all of them without creating confusion.
Transition strips, thresholds, and baseboard handling are the details that separate a professional flooring estimate from an amateur one. Pre-loading them as standard line items ensures you never leave money on the table.
