Quote comparison

Why two flooring quotes can look different

One quote may include floor preparation, old-floor removal, disposal, trims, stairs or underlay while another leaves those items as assumptions. Before choosing the lower total, check whether both quotes describe the same product and the same work.

Area clarity

Use a floor plan when area is unclear

If room sizes are not clear, a floor plan can help create a better starting area. The final quote still needs review before booking, especially where stairs, trims or preparation are involved.

FAQ

Flooring quote questions

What should a Sydney flooring quote include?

A useful Sydney flooring quote should identify product, area, supply, installation, underlay, removal, disposal, floor preparation, trims, stairs, exclusions and final confirmation items.

Should I compare flooring quotes by total price only?

No. Compare the written scope first. Two totals can look different because one quote includes more preparation, removal, trims, stairs or underlay than another.

Can I start an online quote before a site visit?

Yes. Use the quote tool to create a starting estimate from the product, area and scope you know now. Final project details are reviewed before booking.

What if I already have a written flooring quote?

Use the quote review tool to check whether the written scope is complete enough to compare before you accept it.
