Tile estimate FAQ

Should niches be priced separately?

Yes. Niches, benches, and patterns take extra time; pricing them per each keeps your base square-foot rate honest.

Will my customer see my costs?

No. The proposal shows only customer prices, in the level of detail you choose. Internal costs, markup, margin, and notes never appear.

Do the suggested items include prices?

No. Suggestions help you remember what belongs in the bid. You enter your own costs, so nothing is priced with made-up numbers.
