Flooring change order for the floor under the floor.
The carpet comes up and there's sheet vinyl glued to the subfloor, and the living room dips more than the plank manufacturer allows. You can't click LVP over that and keep the warranty. This form prices the prep the estimate couldn't see.

What this template covers
- Removal and prep by the sq ft, the unit the original install was priced in
- Flatness named against the manufacturer's spec, which is what protects the plank warranty
- Transitions by the each, the line that's often short on the first estimate
- A note about testing old sheet vinyl before it's disturbed, with room for the cost
- Cure time and the new install date
Doing it in Redline
Drop the photo of the old vinyl and your straightedge reading into Quick-Sort while you're on your knees, and file it to the Marchetti job later. Or send it to the chat with "change order: 220 sq ft vinyl removal at $1.50, 180 sq ft leveler at $2.75, 3 transitions at $45" and it builds the quote on her file.
The bags of leveler you grab on the way back go in as an expense on her job (Solo, $29 a month), so Reports shows whether the change order actually covered the prep. Redline counts materials there, not your hours on your knees, so keep labor in mind when you price it. The flooring estimate template has prep lines you can put on the next quote up front.
Bill the prep you didn't see coming.
Redline is free to start. Photo from the floor, lines by chat, saved on her file.
