Example figures for a typical tile floor job. Not a quote. Every line on the estimate came from the notes above. Nothing was added.

What to spell out on a tile floor bid

  • Tile size and the pattern, because a herringbone is twice the labor of a straight lay.
  • Underlayment type.
  • What is removed and reset: toilet, vanity, baseboards.
  • That large-format tile needs a flat floor and what happens if it is not.

A material deposit at signing covers the special order before you place it.

Questions flooring installers ask about this bid

Should I include the toilet reset?

Yes, name it. It is expected and it is the thing that leaks if nobody owns it.

Customer-supplied tile?

Say the price assumes the tile is on site before day one, and that you need 10% extra.

Is this a real quote?

No. The numbers are example figures for a typical job so you can see how a complete estimate reads. Your price is yours.

Can my customer sign this on their phone?

Yes. An estimate sent from BidWriter Pro opens as a link. The customer reads it, types their name, signs with a finger, and pays the deposit by card. You get an alert when they open it and when they sign.
