Itemized carpet removal and floor handoff example
These are the same quantities and unit prices used by the downloadable app PDF. A cost line can represent measured work, a selected product allowance or a distinct site task. Check which interpretation applies before replacing any amount.

|---|---|---|---|
| Furniture shift allowance | 3 rooms | $95.00 | $285.00 |
| Room protection | 1 job | $130.00 | $130.00 |
| Carpet lifting | 980 sq. ft. | $1.00 | $980.00 |

How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for furniture shift allowance is 3 rooms × $95.00 = $285.00. This line is one part of the complete 6-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.
The document sums the rounded line amounts to $2,980.00. 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 each room and count stairs, glued areas and heavy furniture separately. Selection to verify: Identify disposal route and whether tack strips are to be removed or retained.
Assumptions and exclusions
Agree who clears furniture and when the exposed floor will be inspected.
Outside the stated scope: No new floor installation, hazardous-material remediation or subfloor repair.
Adhesive, mold or damaged subfloor found beneath carpet is outside simple removal. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
