What does the Flooring Estimator estimate?
Flooring Estimator gives you a planning-stage cost range to work from before you sign a flooring contract. Use the range to sanity-check a quote before booking; if a price is well outside it in either direction, ask what's included or excluded that would explain the gap.
What should I check before comparing quotes?
If your quote is below this range: check whether subfloor prep, removal of existing flooring, and disposal are included. Subfloor leveling and repair can add $1–3 per square foot if it isn't in the original quote. If your quote is above this range: ask whether baseboards, transitions, underlayment, and trim work are bundled in or quoted separately. These are commonly itemized as add-ons.
Is this a quote from a provider?
