Flooring invoice app for solo contractors

Before-and-after photos sell the job and protect the invoice. Logged tags them in one tap, embeds them in the PDF, captures the homeowner's signature at completion, and sends the invoice from the empty living room. Offline, no Wi-Fi needed.

Why flooring contractors need a job log app

Logged is a flooring invoice app for solo contractors: line-item the sq-ft, underlayment, trim, and labor, tag before/after photos in one tap, capture the homeowner's signature on completion, and send an invoice with GPS-stamped proof of visit embedded in the PDF.

It works fully offline in empty houses with no Wi-Fi — including Send — and it's free to download; Pro is $9.99/month.

Before-and-after photos are the deliverable

Homeowners share the after photos — and that's marketing. Logged captures them in-app, tags them one-tap, and embeds them in the final invoice the homeowner forwards to family. Photos are timestamped and GPS-stamped on every plan.

Empty houses kill Wi-Fi

The dwelling is empty on install day — no router, often no LTE in the building. Logged works fully offline: build the estimate, take the photos, capture the signature, generate the PDF — and send it. Tap Send right there with no router or LTE; Logged queues it and sends automatically the moment you step back into coverage.

Signed completion protects the final balance

"It scratches too easily" — six months after install — is a real call. A signed final invoice with timestamped install photos saves the dispute. Logged captures the signature on the phone and embeds it in the PDF you both have a copy of.

How Logged fits a flooring install

Measure → estimate → accept

Measure the rooms on-site, line-item sq-ft, material, underlayment, baseboard, and labor. Send as a web link the homeowner accepts in their browser. Convert the accepted estimate to a job with one tap.

Photo the floor before the first plank

One tap, "Before" tag, move on. Same flow at the end with "After." The PDF groups them under section headers — proof of condition and proof of work in one document.

Sign and send before you load the trailer

Homeowner signs on the phone, you tap Generate Invoice, tap Send. The PDF is in their inbox — photos, signature, totals, Pay Now button (Pro) — before you've coiled the cords.

What to put on a flooring invoice

A flooring invoice should itemize material by the square foot, the waste factor, subfloor prep, removal and disposal, transitions and trim, and labor separately — so the homeowner sees exactly what they're paying for and you're covered if the scope changes mid-job.

The line that causes the most disputes is waste: buyers don't expect to pay for material they don't see installed, so spell it out.

Flooring is measured, not estimated by the room, and the details are where margin leaks. A saved line-item library in Logged lets you reuse these rows job to job instead of retyping them:

Line item	What it covers	Typical basis
Flooring material	The planks, tile, or carpet itself	Per square foot × area
Waste factor	Overage for cuts, defects, and pattern matching	~5–10% straight lay; 10–15%+ diagonal, herringbone, or tile
Underlayment / moisture barrier	Pad, foam, or vapor barrier under the floor	Per square foot
Subfloor prep / leveling	Grinding, patching, self-leveler for an out-of-flat subfloor	Per square foot or flat fee
Removal & disposal	Tearing out and hauling old flooring	Per square foot or dump fee
Transitions & trim	Thresholds, reducers, quarter-round, shoe molding	Per linear foot or per piece
Labor	Installation, kept separate from materials	Per square foot or day rate

Waste-factor ranges are common trade rules of thumb and vary by product and layout; confirm against your supplier's cut sheet. Reviewed 2026-08-01.

What a flooring invoice app costs

Logged is free to download and Logged Pro is $9.99/month or $89.99/year. Most invoicing apps for flooring contractors fall into two camps: solo-focused apps at $0–$20/month, and field-service platforms at $39–$99/month that add scheduling and dispatch a one-person crew rarely uses.

The free tier covers 10 jobs, 5 customers, and 3 estimates with no credit card required.

App type	Typical cost (2026)	What drives the price
Free / freemium invoicing	$0 (usage-capped)	Limits on jobs, customers, or estimates; upsell to a paid tier
Solo-focused paid apps	$8–$20/mo	Unlimited jobs, card payments, cloud backup, client alerts
Field-service platforms	$39–$99/mo	Team scheduling, dispatch, multi-crew CRM — overhead for a solo operator
Logged Pro	$9.99/mo or $89.99/yr	Unlimited jobs & customers, Stripe payments, photo backup, client-viewed alerts

FAQ

Common questions from flooring contractors

Can I document before-and-after for each install?

Yes — every photo can be tagged Before or After with one tap. The PDF shows the pair side-by-side, both with timestamp and GPS coordinates as captions.

Can the homeowner sign off on completion?

Yes — capture the homeowner's signature on-screen at the end of the install. It's embedded in the final invoice PDF below the totals.

Will Logged work in an empty house with no Wi-Fi?

Yes — including Send. Job creation, photo capture, line items, signature, and PDF generation all run offline, and so does sending: tap Send with no Wi-Fi and Logged queues it, then sends automatically the moment you're back online.

Can I send a flooring estimate with material costs broken out?

Yes — each line item has quantity, unit, and price. Break out flooring sq-ft, underlayment, baseboard, trim, and labor as separate lines. Client gets a clean web link they accept or decline in their browser.

Does Logged work for a multi-installer flooring company?

No. Logged is built for solo operators. No team accounts, no shared crew assignment.

Is Logged a good flooring invoice app?

Yes — Logged is built as a flooring invoice app for solo contractors. Line-item your sq-ft, underlayment, trim, and labor, attach before/after photos, capture the homeowner's signature, and send the invoice as a PDF from the job site — even with no Wi-Fi. Free to download, $9.99/mo for unlimited.
