Estimator

The right floor can transform a space. Knowing how to price it — accurately, competitively, and fast — is what keeps a flooring contractor in the game. Our client is a well-established, full-service commercial and residential flooring contractor based in the Greater Kansas City area, offering everything from design consultation through self-performed installation across hardwood, carpet, tile, LVT, LVP, and more. Founded on a commitment to craftsmanship and customer experience, this is a team that takes pride in doing the work right and winning the work worth doing. If you're a flooring estimator who thrives on takeoffs, knows your materials cold, and wants to grow your book of bids with a company that has the showroom, the crews, and the reputation to back it up — this one's worth a conversation.
