How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for existing finish removal is 120 sq. ft. × $7.00 = $840.00. This line is one part of the complete 7-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.
The document sums the rounded line amounts to $7,200.00. Tax and markup are not included; a zero tax field in a sample document does not mean a real project is tax-exempt. Confirm the actual treatment for the job you are quoting.
Measurement to verify: Measure deck area, threshold height, upstands, edge length and drainage outlet. Selection to verify: Specify the membrane or coating system and edge profiles separately.
Assumptions and exclusions
Remove existing finish, inspect substrate and confirm drainage fall before applying the new system.
Outside the stated scope: No structural deck replacement, new railing or interior damage repair.
Hidden substrate rot or inadequate fall requires a revised build-up. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
