Estimate

A formal price quote for a flooring project, listing materials, labor, tax, and total cost.

An estimate is the customer-facing pricing document for a flooring project. It lists every line item — material per sqft, labor per sqft, demo, leveling, transition pieces, trim, tax — so the customer knows exactly what they're paying for and you have a complete record of what was agreed.

Branded PDFs (your logo, colors, and license number on every page) close more often than plain text email or hand-written quotes. E-signature in the browser turns "let me think about it" into "I'll sign now."

The fastest-growing flooring shops are the ones with templated, fast-quoting workflows. A reusable service catalog and per-customer history makes the second estimate take minutes instead of an hour.
