Flooring estimate template

Fill in the rooms, the product and your rates. It works out the area, the waste, the boxes and the money, and prints a one-page estimate with your company at the top. Everything happens in your browser — no account, nothing uploaded.

Extra lines

Transitions, stair nosings, tear-out and disposal, moving furniture — anything you charge by the piece or by the hour. The box count above is worked out for plank and tile laid on the floor area; stairs are counted by the piece and carpet comes off a roll, so both belong on a line of their own.

Your company details stay in this browser so you do not retype them on the next job. Nothing is sent anywhere.

What belongs on a flooring estimate

An estimate that gets accepted and an estimate that starts an argument differ by about six lines. These are the six.

  1. Who is quoting, in fullCompany, phone, and the licence or registration number your state or council makes you show. A quote with no licence number on it is the first thing a careful customer notices.
  2. What is being covered, room by roomNamed rooms with their areas. "Downstairs" is where disputes start; "Living room, 208 sq ft" is not.
  3. The product, exactlyName, thickness, and what a box covers. If they later buy their own material, this is the line that says what you priced.
  4. Waste, stated as a numberSay the percentage and why the pattern needs it. Customers who see "18% waste — herringbone" ask a question; customers who see an unexplained extra 40 sq ft assume padding.
  5. Labour separated from materialThey will compare your material price to a big-box website. Let them, and keep your labour line intact.
  6. What is not includedSubfloor levelling, asbestos, moving a piano, a second trip for a back-ordered colour. The line you leave out is the one you eat.

Estimate, quote, bid — do the words matter?

Legally, in most places, yes. An estimate is your honest expectation and may move if the job turns out different. A quote or a fixed bid is an offer: accepted, it is a price you are held to. Several US states and the UK's consumer rules treat a written quote as binding once the customer signs it, and some cap how far an estimate may overrun without fresh consent.

This template prints the word you choose in the heading and a validity period underneath, because "valid for 30 days" is what keeps a spring price from being held against you in the autumn. Which word your paperwork should use is a question for someone who knows the rules where you work — it is not something a web page can answer for you.

Why the numbers on this page can be trusted

The arithmetic is not written for the template. The area, waste, box and money rules are ported from FloorQuote's own estimating engine and run against the same test vectors, so a total printed here matches a total printed by the app: waste on the area before anything is divided, boxes rounded up once, labour on the real floor rather than on the waste, and every stage rounded to the cent before it feeds the next.

Want to see just the quantity side? The flooring calculator shows the same maths with nothing else attached.

The same estimate, from a scan

FloorQuote does this on site and skips the typing: walk the room with the iPhone's LiDAR scanner, pick the product out of your saved price book, and it produces the same estimate as a PDF before you leave the house.
