Why quotes vary
- • Do the division: quote ÷ actual square footage is the single best padding detector in this trade
- • Waste factor: 10% is standard, 15% for diagonal/pattern layouts — beyond that is padding
- • Material grade: LVP ranges $1–$5/sqft at retail before labor; ask what product is actually quoted
- • Subfloor condition: real repairs cost real money, but cap the allowance in writing
- • Stairs and transitions: legitimately priced per step/piece — but count them yourself
