Flooring estimates, part by part

Flooring customers have usually picked a look before they call you. What they don't know is what goes underneath: tear-out, leveling, underlayment, trim. A clear estimate shows all of it, so your price makes sense next to a cheaper bid that left the prep out.

Start with your business name, contact details and license number. The FTC tells homeowners to look for a contractor's license number and says a written estimate should describe the work, the materials, the completion date and the price. Then the customer's name, job address, date and estimate number.

List each room with its square footage: "Living room 320 sq ft, hallway 90 sq ft, kitchen 180 sq ft." Say how you handle waste, either as a separate allowance or included in the material line, so the material quantity doesn't look padded.

Then price the work in order: removal and disposal of the old floor, subfloor prep such as leveling compound or replacing damaged sections, the flooring material and underlayment by the square foot, installation labor, then trim, transitions, baseboards and stair nosing. For anything you can't see until the old floor is up, give a unit price marked "if needed".

Flooring is made for options: LVP against engineered hardwood, or standard against premium carpet, each priced in full, with your recommendation marked.

Below the lines: sales tax where it applies, the total, any deposit, a valid-until date and what is not included, such as moving furniture or appliances. End with a signature block.
