Itemized wallpaper removal 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.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Room protection | 1 job | $180.00 | $180.00 |
| Trial strip and assessment | 1 job | $95.00 | $95.00 |
| Paper removal labor | 520 sq. ft. | $2.00 | $1,040.00 |
| Adhesive wash-down | 520 sq. ft. | $1.00 | $520.00 |
| Minor wall filling | 6 hours | $52.00 | $312.00 |

| Subtotal / example total | $2,292.00 | ||
How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for paper removal labor is 520 sq. ft. × $2.00 = $1,040.00. 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 $2,292.00. 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 actual papered wall area and test a small section for number of layers and substrate condition. Selection to verify: State whether steaming, adhesive removal and final skim are included or provisional.
Assumptions and exclusions
Protect floors and outlets, test removal, strip and then inspect the bare wall before final preparation.
Outside the stated scope: No repainting, asbestos testing or extensive wall repair.
Torn plaster or multiple concealed layers may trigger a revised preparation scope. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
