What does flooring estimating software do for a Dallas shop?
Flooring estimating software prices a hardwood, LVP, tile, or carpet job from square footage, material SKUs, prep hours, and crew rates. For Dallas, that means a typical 1,400 square foot LVP install over a slab runs about 2 to 3 hours to quote on paper. With ContractShield, the same quote sends in 20 to 30 minutes from the walk-through. Dallas slab moisture varies block by block. The prep multiplier field handles moisture mitigation primer when the slab tests above 4 pounds per 1,000 square feet.
How does the prep multiplier handle subfloor surprises?
Subfloor prep is where flooring quotes go off the rails. Dallas slab homes from the 1960s and 70s frequently need patch, level, or moisture mitigation before LVP or hardwood install. ContractShield ships a prep matrix that converts walk-through notes into prep hours and product costs. For wood-frame homes, the prep matrix handles squeak fix, plywood replacement, and underlayment install.
- Shaw, Mohawk, Karndean, COREtec, Daltile indexed by square foot.
- Prep matrix for moisture, patch, level, underlayment.
- Tear-out priced by square foot with disposal fee.
- Stair surcharge per riser for hardwood and LVP.
How does the tile catalog handle natural stone?
The tile catalog covers ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone from Dallas-area suppliers including Daltile, MSI, and Arizona Tile. Natural stone carries a higher labor multiplier for cut and set, plus an optional sealer line. Stone slab pricing for kitchen and bathroom showers pulls from a separate catalog.
Why Dallas flooring contractors stop buying shared leads
Lead-gen platforms charge Dallas flooring shops $20 to $70 per shared lead. Close rates on shared leads run 9 to 15%, so the cost per booked job often exceeds $350 in marketing spend. ContractShield charges 1% of the accepted job total. A $3,800 LVP install carries a $38 platform fee. A $14,000 hardwood and tile mix carries a $140 platform fee.
Can subs invoice me through ContractShield?
Yes. Subs submit milestone-bound invoices through their shared link. You approve, and the payment routes through Stripe.
