How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for machine scrubbing is 1800 sq. ft. × $1.00 = $1,800.00. 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 $4,775.00. 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 floor area, aisle obstructions, edge length and available cleaning window. Selection to verify: Identify cleaning chemical and consumables according to the floor finish.
Assumptions and exclusions
Test a small area and plan drying and customer access before work.
Outside the stated scope: No stripping, sealing, polishing or hazardous spill cleanup.
Loose floor finish or stubborn buildup may require a separate restoration service. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
