Use these buckets so a flooring quote is not reduced to one vague square-foot number.

Labor

Material and underlayment
Compare laminate price, box coverage, attached or separate pad, moisture barrier, waste, and delivery.

Carpet, pad, tack strips, staples, old laminate, vinyl, or adhesive should be separated from installation labor.
