Flooring estimating and takeoff services

Floor area for every finish tag, such as carpet, sheet vinyl, LVT, rubber, tile, resinous flooring and polished or sealed concrete; wall base by type; transition strips and thresholds; wall tile and trim; and floor preparation where it is specified.

Yes. Wall tile, wainscot and backsplashes are measured from the interior elevations by tile type, with corner guards, end caps and trim in linear feet.

Waste is applied per line, not once across the job. In the sample estimate on this page each finish carries 10%. If you use your own factors for roll goods, carpet tile or patterned tile, send them and they are applied instead.

Yes, where it is in your scope. Polished, stained and sealed concrete are measured by the square foot like any other finish. On one retail store we took off, polished concrete was 69,296 square feet, the largest finish on the plan.

It depends on the mix of finishes. On one recreation center we estimated, flooring trade cost was $7.57 per square foot of building before markups, with sheet vinyl at $6.33 per square foot installed and rubber flooring at about $13.

Division 09 Finishes. Tiling is 09 30, flooring 09 60, resilient flooring 09 65, carpeting 09 68, and fluid-applied or resinous flooring 09 67.

A single project starts at $199, and simple scopes typically run $100 to $250. Larger buildings typically run $200 to $500, and large or multi-phase projects are quoted individually. The quote is free and usually comes back in about 20 minutes.

Yes. This page shows a full sample from a finished job (flooring, for a city recreation center, 11,500 sq ft in Texas), which you can open full screen and read page by page. It was built to that client's own specification, so the wage rates, pricing and overhead and profit are theirs. Ask us for a current sample in your own trade.

From our own pricing database, built with local vendors across the United States. An estimator enters the project's ZIP code and gets current material prices for that market, and vendors update their prices as they change. Labor is priced as union or open shop, or at Davis-Bacon rates with fringes on government work.

Yes. The estimate is delivered as an editable Excel workbook with the formulas built in. Change any quantity, rate or markup and the whole estimate recalculates. If overhead and profit was set at 25% and you want 30%, change that one cell and every total updates, so you can adjust your number minutes before the bid is due without sending it back to us.

As many as you need. Every revision is free, including addenda, scope changes and pricing updates, however many times you come back, and there is no time limit. Revisions are handled on priority and are typically returned within an hour to a few hours, depending on the size of the change.

Yes. Every estimate is built to the client's own specification. Send your template, unit prices or material allowances and the package is returned that way. You can also order quantities alone and price them yourself.

Because a finish plan with many products takes hours to measure carefully, and flooring bids often arrive several at a time. Outsourcing gives a flooring contractor a measured, checked estimate in a day or two and lets them bid more work with the same staff.
