Want the real quote, done for you?
This is a rough number. Vorkeon builds the full flooring quote from one sentence:
- Materials with waste, and crew time from your own pace
- Current prices from building-supply stores near the job
- A clean PDF with your logo that the customer signs on their phone
- Then the invoice, reminders and your crew's hours, in one app
What drives the price of a flooring job
- Floor type. Laminate, vinyl plank, engineered and solid hardwood install at different speeds.
- Subfloor condition. Leveling compound, sanding high spots or new plywood add cost.
- Old floor removal. Glued-down flooring or tile takes much longer to remove than floating floors.
- Layout. Diagonal or herringbone patterns waste more material and take longer.
- Transitions and stairs. Stair nosings, thresholds and reducers are priced per piece.
- Baseboards. Removing and reinstalling them, or new quarter round.
A worked example
A made-up example, not a price guide. 800 sq ft of vinyl plank at 3.00 material and 2.00 labor per sq ft: 800 × 5.00 = 4,000. Add 10% waste on the planks (240) and underlay at 0.50 per sq ft (400), for 4,640. With 20% markup the quote is 5,568 before sales tax. Check what flooring costs where you work.
What to put in your flooring quote
- Rooms and area, plus the waste allowance you used
- Product name, thickness and color
- Removal of old flooring and disposal
- Subfloor prep allowance (leveling, repairs)
- Underlay, transitions, stair nosings and trim
- Who moves furniture and appliances

Flooring quoting questions
How much waste should I add for flooring?
Straight plank layouts often use 5 to 10% extra. Diagonal and herringbone layouts, or rooms with many corners, can need 15% or more. Put the waste in material, not labor.
Should subfloor leveling be in the flooring price?
You often cannot know how much leveling is needed until the old floor is up. Many installers include a small allowance and quote extra leveling per bag or per hour.
How do I price a flooring job?
Multiply the floor area by your material and labor cost per square foot, then add your markup to cover overhead and profit. Add tax on top when you send the quote.
What markup should I use?
Use the markup that covers your overhead (vehicle, insurance, tools, office) and leaves the profit you want. Many contractors land between 15% and 35%, but your own costs decide it.
