Questions
Before you buy.
How is this different from the Flooring Estimate Pro?
The Flooring Pro adds flooring-specific math — waste factor and box-coverage rounding. This General version drops those and stays trade-agnostic, so any trade can build a materials + labor + markup estimate.
Does it handle markup vs. margin correctly?
Yes — set your target margin and it calculates the markup and final price, so you never confuse the two. Try the free Markup vs. Margin calculator to see the logic.
Can I use it in Google Sheets?
Yes — Excel and Google Sheets versions are included; works on phone or desktop.
What’s the refund policy?
Digital files are final once delivered; if a technical defect on our side stops it from working, email within 7 days for a replacement or refund. See the refund policy.
