Check the arithmetic
- Old grout removal: 220 sq. ft. × C$6.00 = C$1,320.00.
- Joint cleaning: 220 sq. ft. × C$2.40 = C$528.00.
The rounded line amounts add to C$3,743.00. The PDF's tax field is 0%, so its illustrated total stays C$3,743.00 before any markup. The sample shows 0% tax only to make the arithmetic visible. Determine any applicable GST, HST or PST and markup for the actual work before sharing a quote.
Measurement to verify: Measure grout joint length or floor area with tile size and joint width noted. Product decision: Specify grout product and colour, and state whether sealer is selected.
The old grout removal line uses 220 sq. ft., approximately 20.44 m². Keep the actual site measurement and the supplier’s selling unit together when you replace this quantity.
Assumptions and exclusions
Test a small section for tile edge condition before mechanical removal.
Outside this example: No tile replacement, substrate repair or guaranteed colour match to adjacent rooms.
Loose tiles or moisture beneath the floor need separate repair. Inspect the existing substrate, access and product selections at the property. Check any local trade or municipal requirements that apply and record unresolved conditions before preparing the final client document. Confirm a change and update the estimate before adding work that was not in the base scope.
