Flooring Estimating
Room-by-room takeoffs with pattern waste for porcelain and ceramic tile, stone, LVT, sheet vinyl, carpet tile, hardwood, epoxy and polished concrete.
Technical Overview
Flooring estimates fail when pattern repeat, herringbone waste, flash-cove seams, slab moisture mitigation, self-levelling underlayment and transitions are missed. We deliver room-finish matrices checked against seaming layouts, priced to TTMAC and NFCA specifications.
