Common mistakes to avoid
Under-ordering material to win a price-sensitive quote — revisits erase margin faster than a slightly higher first quote.
Skipping written scope: always document what is excluded (furniture moving, subfloor prep, door trimming) alongside what is included.
- Measure twice on site
- Match product to room use
- Explain waste clearly on the quote
