Common headaches for flooring installers, and what this does about them
Ordering material before the customer has committed
The deposit is paid by card when they sign, so the money is down before you buy anything or put them on the schedule. Taking checks or Venmo instead works too.
Estimates that don't spell out who moves the furniture
What you type goes on the page as clean bullet points, and the signed copy records exactly what they agreed to. That is what you point to if there is an argument later.
Looking small next to the big-box store's printed quote
Your proposal goes out with your company name, license, terms, and warranty, a signature box, and a deposit button. It looks like it came from a company with an office.
What to spell out on a flooring installer bid
Useful whatever you write your bids in. These are the lines that keep a job from turning into an argument.
- Square footage, tear-out, and disposal
- Subfloor prep as an allowance, since you cannot see it yet
- Transitions, and baseboard or quarter round
- Who moves furniture and appliances, and acclimation time
A material deposit at signing covers the special order before you place it.

Before you sign up.
Can I make it clear who supplies the material?
Yes. Type it in the job notes and it prints on the proposal exactly as written, so there's no argument later.
Can I collect a deposit before ordering?
Yes. Set a deposit on the bid and the customer pays it by card when they sign.
Is the signature legally binding?
Yes. The customer types their full name and clicks Accept, and we record the name, date, time, and the exact proposal they agreed to. That meets the U.S. E-SIGN Act, the same law behind DocuSign.
Does my customer need an app?
No. They tap the link in your text or email, the proposal opens in their phone's browser, they read it and sign.
Does it change what I wrote?
It fixes spelling and lays your notes out cleanly. It does not add scope, exclusions, or promises you didn't make.
