Installing tile and hardwood costs more than laminate or vinyl, so the labor rate depends on the product. Add 5 to 10 percent for waste on straight layouts and more for diagonals or patterns, and bill the material as purchased. Removal, subfloor repair and leveling are the hidden extras that change the cost, so list them separately. A deposit that covers the material is standard, because flooring is ordered to measure and cannot be returned once cut. The balance is due on completion. Quoting first with an [estimate](https://jiffy-invoice.com/estimate-app) lets the client approve the square footage and the products. ## Tips to get paid faster 1. Measure twice and put the final square footage on the invoice. It is the number the client will check first. 2. Show waste as part of the material quantity, so the customer understands why you bought more than the room size. 3. Price subfloor repair per square foot or per hour with a cap, and flag it before you do it. 4. Take the deposit before ordering. Special-order flooring cannot be returned after it is cut. 5. Invoice the day you finish and mention the care instructions. A happy client pays faster, and a card payment link makes it quick, see [online payments](https://jiffy-invoice.com/features/online-payments). ## Common invoice mistakes - Forgetting to bill for removal of the old floor, which can take a day of work - Giving a labor rate that ignores stairs, patterns and tricky cuts - Not writing the acclimation and care instructions on the paperwork ## Questions ### What should a flooring invoice include?
