Why flooring installers add an estimator

Turn website visitors into flooring jobs

More calls from the same website

Homeowners comparing floors want a number. When they can see your price for their room, more of them call you instead of the next installer.

Fewer wasted measure visits

People see your real prices first, so the ones who book a measure already know hardwood or vinyl plank fits their budget.

Estimates while you're installing

Your website prices floors at night and on weekends, and the enquiry is waiting when you finish the job you're on.

Enquiries ready to quote

Floor area, material, the floor coming out, subfloor condition, stairs and the package they liked arrive with every lead.

Sell the better floor

Packages side by side make the step up to a better material, underlay or baseboards easy to see, so more people choose it.

Your prices, your rules

Your rates per square foot, your minimum job and your packages. Floors you don't price go to an assessment instead of a guess.

What you can build

Estimators for every flooring job you sell

Start with the ready-made flooring installation template, then add estimators for the other work you do.

Fictional business and sample prices. Preliminary estimate based on the answers; final pricing follows an assessment.

What you control

  • Installed rates per square foot for each material and package, including underlay, trim and waste.
  • Removal priced by the type of floor coming out.
  • Levelling as an allowance per square foot when the subfloor isn't flat.
  • Stairs and baseboards priced each and per foot, set per package.
  • Older vinyl that may need testing goes straight to an assessment.

What stays with your visit

Floor area is the customer's measurement, and what's under the old floor can't be seen until it's lifted. The estimate states its assumptions, and your visit confirms the subfloor, moisture and final price.

What your office receives

When you choose to collect contact details, the enquiry includes the area, material, existing floor, stairs and the package price the customer saw.

Flooring questions

What if the homeowner doesn't know the floor area?

The question explains how to measure and accepts square metres. If they still don't know, the estimate asks for an assessment instead of guessing a size.

Where does waste go?

The template's rates per square foot include waste, so customers enter the actual floor area. If you prefer a separate waste item, lower your rates to match.

What if they don't know whether the subfloor is level?

The template shows a range from no levelling to your levelling allowance, and the result says the subfloor condition isn't confirmed.

Can I price stairs differently by material?

Yes. The template uses one price per stair for each package. You can add a stair price for each material, the same way the material rates work.
