Flooring contractors deal with a coordination problem that other trades don't: their work can't start until subfloors are prepped, other trades are out of the way, and material deliveries have landed on site. A scheduling slip by another contractor can push your whole install calendar back by days. Meanwhile, material quantities have to be precise, transitions and trim pieces need to match the field conditions, and the finished result is something the client is going to look at every day, so there is no room for a sloppy job record.
IRONGRID is flooring contractor software built for installation companies that coordinate across multiple active projects. Use it to track every job's phase status so you know exactly what's waiting on another trade, as flooring installation software that logs every material used and ties costs directly to the work order, and as your client-facing billing tool to send accurate invoices the day the install is complete. The app for flooring contractors works on any device so installers can update job status and log materials from the site.
Built for the way flooring businesses work
Every tool you need to run your jobs from first call to final payment.
Phase-Based Installation Tracking
Break flooring projects into clear phases: demo, subfloor prep, installation, transitions, and final inspection. Track each phase as a subtask so nothing gets skipped.
Materials & Flooring Inventory
Track flooring material, adhesive, underlayment, transitions, and fasteners on each job. Know exactly what was used so your invoicing reflects true material costs.
Installer Scheduling
Schedule installers across multiple active jobs, set start and completion dates, and track status in real time. Coordinate around other trades with full schedule visibility.
Before & After Documentation
Capture subfloor conditions, installation progress, and finished results with photo attachments. Build a complete record for every installation.
Labor Hours per Job
Track installer hours on every project. Accurate labor data feeds into your cost calculations and helps you price future installs more precisely.
Invoicing & Payment Collection
Generate invoices directly from completed work orders and collect payment electronically. Card, ACH, and check all supported. Get paid without the chasing.
How flooring contractors use IRONGRID
A general contractor confirms your crew can start a commercial LVP install next Tuesday after the drywall crew wraps up. You create the work order in IRONGRID, set the start date, break the job into phases (demo of existing tile, subfloor leveling, installation, transitions and trim), and assign the install crew. When Tuesday arrives, the crew lead opens the job on their phone with the full scope and phase list already in hand.
Each day the crew lead logs the square footage installed and the materials used: flooring product, adhesive, underlayment, transitions. Those costs build the job total automatically. When the final transition strip is set and the site is cleaned up, the crew lead marks the job complete and takes final photos. The office sends the invoice the same day the job closes, with a full breakdown of materials and labor hours tied to the work order.
For flooring companies that service property management clients (residential complexes with regular unit turnovers or commercial clients with multiple locations), IRONGRID keeps every account organized. Each property has its own client record with the flooring type and product details from prior installs. When a new unit turn comes in, the property's history is already there, and you create a new work order in seconds without re-entering anything.
