(And Why It Matters More Than the Price)

If you manage multi-family properties, you’ve probably seen it before:
Two flooring bids. Two very different prices. And a lot of unanswered questions.

At first glance, one bid might look cheaper — but once the job starts, extra charges, missing scope, and surprise calls from your maintenance team start piling up.

So let’s break it down.

Here’s what’s actually included in a 1UP Floors bid — and why it matters when you’re comparing options.

Not All Flooring Bids Are Created Equal

Many bids focus on just two things:

• Flooring material
• Install labor

But flooring turns are rarely that simple.

When important items aren’t included upfront, they don’t disappear — they usually land back on your budget, your schedule, or your maintenance team.

At 1UP Floors, our bids are built for real-world multi-family turns, not best-case scenarios.

What’s Included in a 1UP Floors Bid (Standard)

✅ Flooring Materials

We supply high-quality flooring products that are tested and proven in multi-family environments.
No mystery SKUs. No last-minute substitutions.

✅ Full Installation

Our install pricing includes the full scope of work — not just laying planks or carpet.
That means transitions, edges, and proper installation practices done right the first time.

✅ Appliance & Toilet Removal and Reinstallation

Yes — this is included.

We remove and reinstall appliances and toilets, including new wax rings, so your maintenance team doesn’t have to jump in to finish the job.

This is one of the most commonly missed items in other bids.

✅ Subfloor Patch (Basic Prep)

We include one pass of subfloor patching to smooth out minor imperfections.

If the subfloor needs more than basic prep due to unforeseen conditions, we:

• Stop
• Communicate with your team
• Get approval before moving forward

No surprise invoices.

✅ Demo & Haul-Away

Old flooring comes out, and we handle offsite disposal.

You won’t see extra line items later for tear-out or trash removal — it’s already covered.

✅ Final Clean-Up

When we’re done, the unit is left clean and turn-ready.

Because “installation complete” should actually mean complete.

Backed by Our 3-Year Make It Right Warranty

Most flooring warranties stop at materials — or quietly expire after a year.

Every 1UP Floors install is backed by our 3-Year Make It Right Installation Warranty.

If we make a mistake:

• We fix it
• We replace it if needed
• And if our error causes delays, we may even help cover things like lost rent or resident hotel stays

It’s not just a warranty — it’s accountability.

Comparing Bids? Here’s What to Look For

When reviewing other estimates, ask these questions:

• Does this include demo and haul-away?
• Who handles appliance and toilet resets?
• Is floor prep included or billed hourly later?
• What happens if something goes wrong after install?

If those answers aren’t clearly spelled out, the risk usually falls on you.

The Bottom Line

A flooring bid shouldn’t create more work for your team.

At 1UP Floors, we build our pricing to be:

• Clear
• Complete
• Honest

So you can approve with confidence — not cross your fingers.

If you ever want help comparing bids apples-to-apples, we’re happy to walk through them with you.

Fast. Fair. Done Right.
