Tile and flooring are priced by the square foot. A good estimate lists the tile or flooring, the setting materials (thinset and grout), prep, the install labor, and a margin line.
What a flooring estimate should include
- Your company name, license and contact details.
- The customer and the job address.
- Area in square feet and the tile or flooring type and size.
- Materials: tile/flooring (with waste), thinset, grout, underlayment, trim.
- Labor: surface prep and installation.
- Overhead and profit; note demo of old flooring and floor leveling.
- Scope, exclusions, a valid-until date and payment terms.

FAQs
What should a flooring estimate include?
The area, tile or flooring type and size, materials (with waste), thinset and grout or underlayment, prep and install labor, your overhead and profit, plus demo and leveling, scope and terms.
How much does tile installation cost per square foot?
Installed tile runs about $7–$20 per square foot including materials and labor. Large-format, patterns, and demo of old flooring push it higher.
What's the difference between a flooring estimate and a quote?
An estimate is approximate and can change; a quote is a fixed price that's binding once accepted. The estimate maker toggles the wording between the two.
