Pricing tips for flooring
- Diagonal layouts and lots of small rooms need more waste. Raise the waste factor rather than eating the overage.
- Subfloor leveling is the most common surprise. Quote an allowance for it, or list it as an exclusion.
- Show moving furniture and appliances as a line so customers can do it themselves if they want.
