Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best software for a small flooring contractor?
Jobber ($29-$99/mo) or Housecall Pro ($49-$149/mo) for general work. MeasureSquare ($199+/mo) once you have a showroom or do 5+ measurements/week.
What's the typical install rate for flooring?
Carpet: 50-75 sq yd/day per installer. Hardwood: 300-500 sq ft/day. LVP: 400-600 sq ft/day. Tile: 50-100 sq ft/day depending on size.
Why is carpet sold by the square yard?
Industry convention. 1 sq yard = 9 sq ft. Always confirm the unit — $20/yd vs $20/sq ft is a 9x cost difference.
