Quick answer

Is my flooring quote too high?

Upload the quote and QuoteScore scores it 0 to 100 against regional pricing benchmarks, line by line, free and with no signup. Across the 73 flooring quotes QuoteScore has scored, 37% scored under 50, meaning at least one line was priced above the normal market range for that job and region, so ask for a line-item breakdown before signing. Rule of thumb: 65 or higher is within the normal range, 50 to 64 is worth one competing bid before you sign, and under 50 has specific overpriced lines to negotiate by name.

Before you sign a flooring quote

A flooring quote usually lists the material by product and square footage, underlayment, removal and disposal of the old floor, subfloor repair, transitions and trim, furniture moving, and installation labor per square foot. QuoteScore reads the quote you already have, as a photo, a PDF or pasted text, splits it into those lines and compares each one against the regional benchmark range for that item, then returns a 0 to 100 fairness score that names the lines priced above market.

Of the 73 flooring quotes scored so far, the average fairness score is 62.1 out of 100 and 37% scored under 50, which means at least one line was priced above the normal market range for that work and region. The count updates as new quotes are scored.

The lines that most often push a flooring quote above market are material billed above what the same product sells for at retail, a waste factor well above ten to fifteen percent, subfloor repair priced as a flat sum before anyone has seen the subfloor, and an installation rate above the regional range for the material. Before you sign, ask for the measured square footage and waste factor, the product name and grade, and the installation rate per square foot.

The check is free, needs no signup, and the file is deleted the moment the analysis completes. A score under 65 comes with the specific lines to negotiate and the benchmark range each one was measured against, so you can disagree with it.
