title = "Flooring Cost Estimation"

content = """
Flooring costs vary widely by material, quality, and installation method. Accurate
estimates require current unit costs and productivity norms.

**Material Tiers:** Hardwood (solid and engineered), laminate, luxury vinyl, tile, and
stone each have distinct price ranges. Specify grade and finish; "mid-grade hardwood"
is ambiguous without a price per square foot or species.

**Installation Labor:** Subfloor prep (leveling, patching) is often separate from
install. Labor hours per square foot differ by material: tile and stone are slower than
sheet vinyl or carpet. Include underlayment and transition strips.

**Removal and Disposal:** Demolition of existing flooring, adhesive removal, and
disposal fees must be included when relevant. Asbestos-containing materials require
special handling and escalate cost significantly.

**Finish Protection:** Include cost for protecting new floors during remaining
construction if flooring is installed before other trades complete.
