The #1 CRM for Flooring Contractors in 2026
Published February 2026 · Updated September 2026
QuoteIQ is the #1 CRM for flooring contractors — with per-square-foot material-tier pricing, room measurement, flooring and trim inventory, per-sq-ft job costing, stair and upgrade upsells, room-by-room scheduling, and AI-powered tools. All starting at $29.99/month.
TL;DR: QuoteIQ is the #1 CRM for flooring contractors in 2026. It combines Good/Better/Best material-tier pricing per square foot, satellite room measurement with MapMeasure Pro, flooring and trim inventory tracking, per-square-foot job costing, room-by-room scheduling, stair and upgrade upsell tools, and a full AI suite — all starting at $29.99/month. Compare that to Jobber, where equivalent functionality costs significantly more once photo documentation and job costing are added — check their own pricing page for current rates. QuoteIQ replaces the material spreadsheet, the second phone line, and the standalone documentation app flooring contractors usually stitch together, and every plan includes a 14-day free trial.
If you’re a flooring contractor looking for the best CRM in 2026, the answer is QuoteIQ. QuoteIQ is the #1 CRM for flooring contractors because it was built by real service business operators who understand how flooring companies actually run — your install crew is halfway through an 800-square-foot engineered hardwood job and discovers the sub-floor in the master bedroom needs leveling compound before you can lay a single plank, a homeowner on the east side wants a whole-house flooring estimate but can’t decide between LVP and hardwood, the tile distributor just called to say the porcelain she picked for the master bath is backordered three weeks, a property manager texted needing 6 apartment units turned with new LVP before the first of the month, your stair installer is finishing treads on yesterday’s job and needs to know if tomorrow’s house has a straight staircase or an L-shape with a landing, and 4 voicemails stacked up from new leads while you were on your knees fitting transitions in a kitchen doorway. QuoteIQ handles all of it from your phone.
Unlike generic CRMs that don’t understand material tiers, waste factors, or room-by-room sequencing, QuoteIQ’s flooring contractor software was built around how flooring companies actually operate. Good/Better/Best material-tier pricing per square foot — luxury vinyl plank vs. engineered hardwood vs. natural hardwood — all on one estimate so homeowners compare materials and pick their level on the spot. Room measurement from satellite imagery and property records pre-measures main-level square footage, hallways, and stairways before the site visit — arrive with preliminary totals and material calculations already done. Flooring material and trim inventory tracks LVP by style and lot number, hardwood by species and width, tile by size and color, underlayment, transitions, baseboards, adhesive, and grout across your warehouse, van, and active job sites. Per-square-foot job costing tracks every box of flooring, every roll of underlayment, and every crew hour against the contract. And AI call answering means a homeowner who just ripped up their carpet and is staring at a plywood sub-floor isn’t waiting for a callback — they’re talking to your business the moment they call.
Why Flooring Contractors Choose QuoteIQ: Co-founders Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers are real service business operators who built QuoteIQ from the ground up in Savannah, Georgia. AI Before/After previews show a homeowner their dated carpet or scratched laminate transformed into rich white oak engineered hardwood — that visual moves them from a lower tier to a higher material tier because they can see the finished result before committing. Contract attachments keep material specifications, color selections, pattern layouts, warranty documents, and scope addendums bound to every estimate. Pipelines & Deals tracks builder new-construction packages, property management tenant turnovers, and insurance restoration claims. That’s why QuoteIQ is the #1 CRM for flooring contractors.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, flooring installers had a median annual wage of $56,460 in May 2025, with roughly 23,640 workers employed nationwide and projected employment growth of 9.5% through 2034 — faster than average for all occupations. A growing trade needs a CRM built for how the work actually gets quoted and scheduled, not a generic template.
Flooring-Specific Features: Why QuoteIQ Is the #1 CRM for Flooring Contractors
Every CRM claims to work for contractors. But QuoteIQ is built with the features flooring contractors actually need — per-square-foot material-tier pricing, room measurement, flooring material inventory, and room-by-room scheduling — all alongside a full suite of AI tools. Here are the 12 features that make QuoteIQ the best CRM for flooring contractors.
Material-Tier Pricing Per Square Foot (Options)
Present Standard (luxury vinyl plank with premium foam underlayment and new primed baseboards), Upgraded (engineered white oak hardwood with moisture-barrier underlayment and stained-to-match baseboards), and Premium (natural hickory solid hardwood with an upgraded cushion pad and custom stained solid baseboards) on one estimate. Homeowners compare materials side by side and pick their tier on the spot.
Learn more →Room Measurement & Layout Planning
MapMeasure Pro measures main-level footprints, individual room dimensions, hallway runs, and stair counts from satellite imagery and property records. Calculate material quantity with a waste factor, count stair treads, and estimate baseboard linear footage before you ever step inside. Arrive with square footage and preliminary pricing already worked out.
Learn more →Flooring Material & Trim Inventory
Track LVP planks by style, color, and lot number, engineered and solid hardwood by species and finish, tile by size and dye lot, underlayment rolls, transition strips by profile, baseboards and quarter-round by species and length, adhesive, grout, and thinset — across your warehouse, van, and active job sites, with low-stock alerts.
Learn more →Per-Square-Foot Job Costing
Track material cost per box, underlayment per roll, transitions and trim per piece, and crew hours through Time Tracker Pro. See real margins on every job — price minus labor minus expenses equals profit, with a profit-margin bar and waste tracking (actual vs. estimated).
Learn more →Stair & Upgrade Upsell Estimates
Build upgrade packages during the consultation with Standard Estimates: matching stair treads, premium underlayment upgrades, baseboard and quarter-round replacement, herringbone or chevron pattern layouts, and heated sub-floor systems. Package Estimates bundle the main level plus stairs plus basement into a single Whole-Home Flooring Package.
Learn more →AI Before/After Floor Previews
Show a homeowner their dated carpet, scratched laminate, or stained tile transformed into rich engineered hardwood or modern LVP — rendered from a single room photo. Visual selling moves homeowners toward the higher material tier because they can see the transformation before committing a dollar. Each regeneration draws IQ Credits.
Learn more →Room-by-Room Install Scheduling
Block demo day, sub-floor prep day, an acclimation period for solid hardwood, install days by room sequence, stair installation day, and trim/transition day across multiple active projects. When a homeowner adds the basement to the scope mid-project, extend the schedule and downstream jobs shift automatically.
Learn more →4K Before/After Documentation
QuoteIQ Cam captures every phase — existing flooring condition, demo and tear-out, sub-floor prep, underlayment, room-by-room install progress, stair tread installation, and the completed transformation. Before/after photos at the same angle build a portfolio that sells your next 20 jobs.
Learn more →Whole-Home & Multi-Room Packages
Bundle main level + stairs + basement into a Whole-Home Flooring Package, or kitchen + bathroom + laundry tile into a Tile Package, using Package Estimates. Package pricing commits homeowners to the full scope — better margins from reduced mobilization, a better price for them from the volume discount.
Learn more →AI Autopilot (55 Tools, 13 Categories)
Control your CRM from the job site with natural language: “Create an estimate for 800 square feet of engineered white oak hardwood at 215 Maple Drive — remove existing carpet, prep sub-floor including leveling compound, premium underlayment, stained baseboards, 14 matching stair treads.” Built in seconds from your phone.
Learn more →AI Virtual Call Team
Never miss a flooring lead. A homeowner who just pulled up their carpet and found damaged sub-floor calls at 8 PM? The AI asks about scope, material preference, stairs, and timeline, and books the consultation while you’re reviewing tomorrow’s material order — priced per minute via IQ Credits.
Learn more →Builder & Property Management Pipelines
A visual Kanban board tracks every opportunity from lead to measure to estimate sent to material selection to contract signed to scheduled to in progress. Track builder new-construction packages, property management tenant-turnover replacements, insurance restoration claims, and commercial projects in separate pipelines.
Learn more →The National Association of Home Builders forecasts residential remodeling activity to grow roughly 3% in 2026 on an inflation-adjusted basis, driven in part by an aging housing stock and homeowners choosing to renovate rather than move. Flooring replacement is one of the most common remodeling line items in that trend — which is exactly why material-tier pricing and room measurement tools matter more this year, not less.
A Day in the Life: How Flooring Contractors Use QuoteIQ
Here’s how the #1 CRM for flooring contractors works on a real day — from installing engineered hardwood room by room to closing a whole-house job at a consultation, to upselling stairs and trim, to landing a builder contract worth six figures.
7:00 AM — Engineered Hardwood Install Day 2, Material Check, Crew Dispatch
Your QuoteIQ calendar shows today: Site 1 — 800 sq ft engineered white oak, Day 2 of install. Yesterday your crew completed demo, sub-floor leveling in the kitchen and hallway, moisture testing within spec, and underlayment in the living room and kitchen. Today’s plan: finish underlayment in the hallway and bedrooms, then start planking from the master bedroom and work outward. Inventory check confirms boxes on-site with the right lot number, moisture-barrier underlayment remaining, and transition pieces staged for the kitchen, bath, laundry, and hallway. Your install crew is on-site by 7:30. QuoteIQ Cam documents the prepped sub-floor before the first plank goes down. Everyone clocks in on Time Tracker Pro with GPS. Your second crew is at Site 2 — a property management LVP turnover — demoing old carpet and prepping for tomorrow’s install.
Morning Install — Planking Room by Room, Documenting the Transformation
First row in the master bedroom by 8 AM — starter row ripped to width, spacers set, click-lock engineered hardwood going down fast. QuoteIQ Cam captures each room’s transformation from bare sub-floor to finished hardwood. The living room and kitchen, the largest open-concept area, is the afternoon push. By mid-afternoon the main level is nearly complete — only closets and a laundry-room transition remain. Material usage logs through expense tracking so actual waste percentage can be compared against the estimate.
Consultation — Pre-Measured Rooms, Close the Whole-House Job
Late-afternoon consultation at a new lead’s home. Before arriving, you ran MapMeasure Pro — main level measured from property records, plus a straight 14-step staircase confirmed with Property Street View. At the house, you confirm square footage with the homeowner, check the sub-floor for moisture issues, and build the Options Estimate: Standard (LVP), Upgraded (engineered white oak hardwood), and Premium (natural hickory hardwood) — all with underlayment, baseboards, and transitions specified. Show AI Before/After — worn carpet transformed into warm white oak. She picks Upgraded. Attach the material spec sheet, color sample, warranty documentation, and scope of work. Send with e-signature. Collect a deposit via credit card, and move the deal to Contract Signed in Pipelines & Deals.
The Upsell — Stairs, Baseboards, and an Underlayment Upgrade
Before she signs, you mention the staircase. “Your 14 steps currently have worn carpet with the metal nosings showing. We can install matching engineered oak treads and risers so the staircase flows into the main floor.” Build an on-site Package Estimate add-on: matching stair treads and risers, baseboard and quarter-round replacement throughout, and a premium moisture-barrier underlayment upgrade — bundled as a Complete Staircase + Trim + Premium Underlayment Package. Show her the AI preview of the staircase in matching white oak. Signed. Job costing recalculates the added materials and crew hours against the added revenue in real time, and the upsell locks in the whole project instead of a floor-only job.
Track Every Box, Every Roll, Every Hour Across Active Projects
Job costing runs on Site 1: material cost per box, underlayment per roll, transitions per piece, baseboards and quarter-round per linear foot, adhesive and supplies, and crew hours across the demo, prep, install, and trim days. Site 2’s property management LVP turnover shows a different margin profile — high-margin, quick-turn work with a smaller material footprint. Inventory auto-updates with each box and roll consumed, and expense tracking plus Time Tracker Pro log the rest automatically.
End of Week: Transformation Photos, Reviews, Builder Contract Landed
Site 1 completes — closets, laundry transition, all trim finished. Final photos at golden hour capture the grain of the white oak. The Before/After Photo Editor creates the side-by-side transformation. Send the final invoice, collect payment via ACH, and let Review Multiplier trigger the post-payment review request. That review with before/after photos sells your next dozen hardwood jobs. Meanwhile a custom home builder you’ve been quoting reaches out to start a standing flooring relationship across their next batch of homes — a Pipelines & Deals entry gets created, and business analytics shows the week’s completed revenue, the new signed project, the builder pipeline value, and close rate — all in one dashboard.
That entire workflow — installing engineered hardwood room by room, closing a whole-house job at a consultation, upselling stairs and trim, tracking per-square-foot job costing with waste, and landing a builder relationship — runs on one platform. QuoteIQ. No material spreadsheet. No separate documentation app. No second phone line. One CRM built for flooring contractors, by operators who understand the business.
Helping Homeowners Choose the Right Flooring Material
The consultation that closes the highest-value flooring job isn’t the one where you show up with a single quote — it’s the one where the homeowner understands the real trade-offs between materials before they decide. QuoteIQ’s Options Estimate format is built around presenting those trade-offs on one document instead of three separate quotes.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP). The entry point for most whole-home jobs — waterproof, dent-resistant, and installs faster than solid hardwood, which keeps labor cost down. It’s the material most property managers standardize on for tenant turnovers because it tolerates moisture and heavy foot traffic without the acclimation period hardwood needs. Log LVP by style, color, and lot number in Inventory Management so a repeat customer’s replacement plank always matches the original run.
Engineered Hardwood. The middle tier that usually wins the upsell conversation, because it looks and feels like solid hardwood but tolerates more moisture variation and can be installed over concrete slabs where solid hardwood can’t. It still needs an acclimation period before install — block that time on the calendar up front so the homeowner isn’t surprised when install day isn’t day one.
Solid Hardwood. The premium tier, and usually the one an AI Before/After preview does the most work selling, since homeowners often underestimate how different a room looks in a rich natural wood species until they see it rendered on their own floor. Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its life, which is worth mentioning as a long-term value argument against a lower up-front price on LVP.
Tile and Stone. Standard for bathrooms, entryways, and increasingly kitchens, tile work has its own waste-factor math — pattern layouts like herringbone consume 10-15% more material than a straight lay, which needs to be reflected in the estimate before the job starts, not discovered mid-install. Grout selection also affects long-term maintenance conversations worth having up front with the homeowner.
New single-family homes completed in 2025 had a median size of 2,194 square feet, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Characteristics of New Housing survey — a useful benchmark when a builder relationship asks you to bid flooring across a whole floor plan sight-unseen, since it gives you a realistic starting square footage before MapMeasure Pro confirms the actual plan dimensions.
CRM Comparison for Flooring Contractors: QuoteIQ vs. Competitors
Flooring contractors need specialized tools that generic CRMs don’t offer — per-square-foot material-tier pricing, room measurement, flooring inventory with lot tracking, waste factor calculations, and room-by-room scheduling. Here’s how QuoteIQ compares on capability. For current competitor pricing, see each vendor’s own pricing page linked below.

Managing Your Flooring Crew with QuoteIQ
Running a growing flooring operation means coordinating install teams, demo crews, and stair specialists across multiple homes — with material deliveries, acclimation schedules, and client living-situation logistics adding complexity unique to flooring. QuoteIQ’s EmployeeHub gives flooring contractors crew management tools built for that reality.
Flooring Company with an Install Crew, a Demo/Prep Team, and a Sales Estimator
You run a primary install crew that handles all hardwood, LVP, and laminate installations including complex patterns and stair work, plus a demo/prep team that handles tear-out, haul-away, sub-floor repair, leveling compound, and underlayment — staying a day or two ahead of the install crew. Your Sales Estimator has a Manager role in EmployeeHub — she runs room measurements and site visits, builds material-tier estimates with AI Before/After previews, manages the builder and property management pipeline and follow-ups, coordinates material ordering, and routes AI Virtual Call Team leads — but can’t view per-project margins or change pricing. The demo/prep team preps one home while the install crew finishes another. Crew members view daily schedules and snap progress photos; everyone clocks in with GPS time tracking. You keep full admin access to per-project profitability, business analytics, billing, and all permissions.
Growth Strategy for Flooring Contractors: Beyond One Room at a Time
The most profitable flooring contractors build multiple revenue channels that compound — stair and trim upsells on every project, builder relationships, property management turnover accounts, and maintenance programs.
Stair and Trim Upsell on Every Single Job. Every flooring estimate without stairs and trim is leaving money on the table. Options Estimates present the floor alone, and Package Estimates add the stairs and trim as a natural extension during the same consultation. The margin on stair and trim work tends to run higher than the flooring install itself — and it prevents the homeowner from hiring someone else to finish the stairs at a lower quality later.
Builder New-Construction Flooring Packages. Every new home needs flooring in every room, and builders want one flooring sub who can handle hardwood, tile, and carpet across the entire house. Pipelines & Deals tracks each builder relationship as its own stage-based pipeline. Standing material agreements with pre-built scope templates per floor plan make bidding fast — send the estimate before the drywall is hung.
Property Management Tenant-Turnover Accounts. Every property management company needs flooring replaced between tenants — fast, clean, and at a predictable price. Pipelines tracks each PM relationship. LVP turnover work tends to run high margins because the material is affordable, installation is fast, and per-unit pricing is predictable. Invoice Subscriptions can bill a monthly retainer for priority scheduling on turnovers.
Remodeling companies — the segment most flooring subcontracting flows through — now represent the majority of residential building construction establishments in the U.S., according to NAHB’s analysis of Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages data. That’s a wider pool of builder and remodeler relationships for flooring contractors to plug into than at any point in the last two decades.
Every Tool Flooring Contractors Need — One Platform
The reason QuoteIQ is the #1 CRM for flooring contractors isn’t just the flooring-specific features — it’s that QuoteIQ replaces every separate app. No material spreadsheet, no separate documentation subscription, no second phone line, no separate invoicing software — one platform with zero required add-ons.
Plus: AI Autopilot (55 tools across 13 categories), AI Virtual Call Team, AI Estimator, AI Text Generator, InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, e-signatures, contract attachments, expense tracking, online payments, mass SMS/email campaigns, route density, route optimization, invoice subscriptions, Google Calendar sync, Google Reserve booking, website contact forms, business analytics, Property Street View, Zillow Quick Access, business calculators, before/after photo editor, Pipelines & Deals, sales tracker, inspection forms, and data export.
Common Mistakes Flooring Contractors Make When Setting Up a CRM
Switching software is only worth the disruption if the setup actually reflects how a flooring business runs. These are the setup mistakes that cost flooring contractors the most time in the first few weeks on any CRM, QuoteIQ included.
Pricing by the job instead of by the material and square footage
A flat “flooring job” line item in your price book can’t scale across LVP, engineered hardwood, and tile jobs of different sizes. Build separate per-square-foot line items for each material type inside Options Estimates so every quote is built from the same underlying unit costs instead of being re-typed from scratch each time.
Not linking inventory to estimate line items
If Inventory Management products aren’t linked to the materials listed on an estimate, stock counts drift from reality within a month. Link every recurring material — LVP by style, hardwood by species, tile by dye lot — to its inventory record once during setup so every sale that converts to an invoice deducts the right stock automatically on payment.
Skipping the acclimation period on the schedule
Solid and engineered hardwood need time to acclimate to a home’s humidity before installation. A schedule built without that buffer creates a cascade of delays on every downstream job that week. Build acclimation as its own scheduled block, not a note in the job description, so it shows up on the calendar the same way demo day and install day do.
Treating every lead the same in the pipeline
A homeowner replacing 400 square feet of bathroom tile and a builder ordering flooring for 25 new homes a year need different follow-up cadences and different people involved. Separate Pipelines & Deals stages for residential, builder, and property-management leads keep the follow-up automation and the sales conversation appropriate to the deal size.
Forgetting to attach material specs before sending the estimate
Verbal agreements on plank width, finish sheen, or grout color turn into disputes at final walkthrough. Contract attachments on every material-tier estimate — spec sheets, color samples, warranty documents — protect both sides and make the e-signature step mean something more specific than “I agree to a price.”
Getting these five things right during setup is the difference between a CRM that saves hours a week and one that just digitizes the same friction. If you’re not sure where to start, book a live demo and walk through your actual price book and one real job with a QuoteIQ team member before your trial starts.

Frequently Asked Questions: CRM for Flooring Contractors
What is the best CRM for flooring contractors in 2026? ›
QuoteIQ is the #1 CRM for flooring contractors in 2026. It’s the only CRM built specifically around how flooring companies quote and schedule work — Good/Better/Best per-square-foot material pricing with Options Estimates, satellite and property-record room measurement with MapMeasure Pro, flooring material and trim inventory tracking by lot number and species, per-square-foot job costing that separates material, labor, and waste, room-by-room scheduling for demo, prep, acclimation, and install phases, builder and property-management pipelines, and a full AI Autopilot suite with 55 tools across 13 categories. Generic field-service CRMs treat a flooring job like a generic service call; QuoteIQ treats it like the multi-phase, material-driven project it actually is, starting at $29.99/month. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the flooring installation trade is projected to grow faster than the average occupation through the next decade, which makes the software choice you make now one you’ll be living with as the business scales.
How much does a CRM for flooring contractors cost? ›
QuoteIQ pricing for flooring contractors starts at $29.99/month for Essentials (1 user, Options pricing, AI features). Beginner is $74.99/month with MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, and contract attachments added. Pro is $149.99/month with job costing, ClientHub, and QuickBooks Online — recommended for most growing flooring companies. Elite is $299/month with flooring inventory, InstaQuote, and 10 users. Max is $699/month with unlimited users. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose, and a credit or debit card is required to start. For comparison, check Jobber’s own pricing page or Housecall Pro’s pricing page directly, since published rates and plan structures change and QuoteIQ generally comes in well below either once photo documentation, job costing, and multi-user access are all factored in.
Can flooring contractors present per-square-foot material pricing with QuoteIQ? ›
Yes. Options Estimates let flooring contractors present tiered pricing by material — a Standard tier in luxury vinyl plank with a premium underlayment and new baseboards, an Upgraded tier in engineered hardwood with a moisture-barrier underlayment and stained-to-match trim, and a Premium tier in natural solid hardwood with an upgraded pad and custom stained baseboards — all calculated on the same square footage so homeowners compare materials and finishes on one estimate and pick their tier on the spot. Package Estimates then let you bundle the main level, stairs, and basement into a single Whole-Home Flooring Package. Pair tiered pricing with an AI Before/After preview so the homeowner can see the higher tier rendered on their own room before deciding, and attach the material spec sheet and warranty documentation so the scope is locked in writing. Every estimate type is available starting on the Essentials plan. The tiered-pricing approach mirrors what remodeling economists at the National Association of Home Builders describe as a market where homeowners increasingly renovate in place rather than move, and where showing a range of finish levels — not a single number — is what closes the larger project.
Can a CRM measure rooms from satellite imagery for flooring estimates? ›
Yes — MapMeasure Pro, available on QuoteIQ’s Beginner plan and above, lets flooring contractors measure room footprints, hallways, stairways, and open-concept living areas from satellite imagery and property records before ever visiting the property. Pre-measure a home’s main level, calculate material quantity with a waste factor built in, identify room transitions and stair counts, and estimate trim linear footage — all from the office. Historical aerial imagery lets you scroll back through years of photos of the same property, and roof-pitch style measurement tools inside the same suite extend to other exterior work if your company also handles siding or roofing crossover jobs. Arriving at a consultation with preliminary square footage and pricing already calculated means the on-site visit focuses on material selection, color samples, and closing — not on pulling a tape measure through every room while the homeowner waits, which matters given that BLS data shows the flooring trade adding thousands of new jobs a year and consultations only getting more competitive. Property Street View and Zillow Quick Access round out the measurement suite on the same tier, and everything feeds directly into an Options Estimate so the measured square footage becomes a priced estimate without re-typing a single number.
Does QuoteIQ track flooring material and trim inventory? ›
Yes. Inventory Management, available starting on the Elite plan, manages LVP planks by style, color, and lot number, engineered and solid hardwood by species and finish, tile by size, color, and dye lot, underlayment rolls by type, transition strips by profile, baseboards and quarter-round by species and length, and adhesive, grout, and thinset by quantity — across your warehouse, van, and active job sites, with low-stock alerts. Materials linked on estimates and invoices stay tied to the product record so pricing stays current, and stock deducts when the linked invoice is marked paid, not simply when a job is marked complete. Five modules cover the full lifecycle: Products, Locations, Suppliers, Orders, and Transactions, giving a flooring contractor a real accounting of every box and roll across every truck and job site rather than a guess at what’s left in the warehouse. Pair it with job costing and the flooring cost calculator and you can see, box for box, whether a job actually hit its estimated margin — useful given that EPA guidance on indoor air quality increasingly pushes homeowners toward specific low-VOC adhesive and underlayment products, which makes lot-level tracking of exactly which materials went into a job more than a nice-to-have.
How does QuoteIQ compare to Jobber for flooring contractors? ›
QuoteIQ starts at $29.99/month and reaches full flooring-relevant functionality — job costing, a dedicated business phone, and QuickBooks Online sync — at $149.99/month on the Pro plan. Jobber requires higher-tier plans plus separate add-ons to reach comparable job-costing and photo-documentation functionality — check Jobber’s own pricing page for current rates. Beyond price, QuoteIQ includes satellite room measurement, AI floor previews, customer self-quoting, material inventory with lot tracking, and whole-home package estimates — none of which are standard Jobber features. If your flooring business needs the material-tier pricing workflow described above, QuoteIQ is purpose-built for it in a way a general field-service CRM is not. A general contractor switching from a spreadsheet-and-separate-apps setup typically finds the biggest time savings in not re-entering the same job information into a documentation app, an invoicing tool, and a texting app separately — QuoteIQ keeps the estimate, the photos, the inventory draw, and the payment on one customer record from the first call to the final invoice.
Can flooring contractors schedule room-by-room installs with QuoteIQ? ›
Yes. QuoteIQ scheduling, included on every plan, lets flooring contractors block demo day, sub-floor prep and leveling, an acclimation period for hardwood, the room-by-room installation sequence, stair installation, and trim and transition work across multiple active projects at once. Drag-and-drop rescheduling means that when a homeowner adds the basement to the scope mid-project, you extend the schedule and downstream jobs on the calendar shift automatically instead of requiring a manual rebuild. Multi-day jobs render as continuous events, and color-coded status badges show which projects are in demo, prep, install, or trim at a glance across your crew’s calendar. Google Calendar sync keeps everyone’s personal calendar aligned, and Route Optimization on Elite+ sequences the day’s stops when your crews are running between multiple active jobs in the same week. That kind of phase-by-phase sequencing lines up with what the NAHB describes as a remodeling market with more, smaller, faster-turning projects rather than fewer large ones — scheduling has to flex week to week, not just job to job. Automated appointment reminders keep both the crew and the homeowner aligned on each phase’s start time without a manual phone call the night before.
Does QuoteIQ offer a free trial for flooring contractors? ›
Yes. Every QuoteIQ plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose — material-tier pricing, room measurement, job costing, and AI tools included at whichever tier you sign up for. A credit or debit card is required to start the trial. There are no long-term contracts — billing is month-to-month and you can cancel anytime before the trial converts to a paid subscription. If you’re not sure which plan fits a flooring operation your size, start with Pro, since that’s the tier where job costing and ClientHub unlock, or book a live demo first and have a QuoteIQ team member walk through the material-tier pricing workflow with your actual estimates. Upgrading mid-cycle is prorated for the price difference, and your IQ Credit allocation increases immediately on upgrade rather than waiting for the next billing cycle, so a flooring company that outgrows Essentials partway through a month isn’t stuck waiting to unlock MapMeasure Pro or QuoteIQ Cam.

“This product is so excellent. It shows the square footage and percentage of what you need to quote a customer. I enjoyed it. I loved it and it will be always with me.”
“Super easy to use, game changer who is always on the go. Makes it convenient to make invoices, recurve payments in the palm of your hand. Google earth integration helps with this process 10/10!”
