Does it handle different waste percentages per material?

Yes. Each flooring assembly has its own waste percentage. Hardwood with diagonal install can be 13%, LVT plank can be 7%, herringbone tile can be 18% — whatever's accurate for your install.

Can I include subfloor prep as separate line items?

Yes. Self-leveling, demo, and moisture mitigation can each be their own assemblies. Add the ones the job needs and skip the rest.

Does it support tile, hardwood, LVT, and carpet together?

Yes. Each is its own assembly with its own units, waste, labor, and material composition. You combine them on jobs that span multiple flooring types.

Can I price stairs and transitions?

Yes. Stair treads (per riser), transitions (per linear foot), and shoe molding can each be line items in your assemblies — the easy-to-forget details that decide if a job is profitable.

Why flooring bids run over

Waste percentages vary wildly by material and pattern

7% on plank, 13% on diagonal, 18% on herringbone. Using one waste number across all jobs eats real margin on the harder installs.

Subfloor prep is the invisible cost

Self-leveling, demo, moisture mitigation — none of these show up until the install starts. If they're not in the bid, they come out of your pocket.

Transitions, trim, and stairs get missed

Easy to forget the metal transitions, the shoe molding, the stair nose, the toe kick. Each missing line item is a hit to margin.
