Cost Breakdown
Underlayment Calculation Formula
Total Cost = ((Wall Area – Door/Window Area) × (1 + Waste Factor) × Material Price) + (Net Area × Installation Cost)
To calculate total project cost: Subtract doors/windows from total area, add waste factor, multiply by material cost per sq ft, then add installation cost based on net area.
