Frequently Asked Questions

How does Matey compare margins across floor types?
Every completed job gets a profit-per-hour figure and Matey groups them by job type. After a month you can see, for example, vinyl plank at 41% and tile at 19%, and the Monday brief will suggest what to quote differently.
Does square-metre pricing still get a margin verdict?
Yes. Your square-metre rate sets the quoted amount. When you close the job you confirm actual hours and materials, including prep and waste, and Matey tells you whether the rate held up.
How do I include subfloor preparation in a flooring estimate?
Add prep, levelling or removal as separate line items. Clients see all costs upfront, and the margin verdict uses the real prep hours.
What happens when a client doesn't pay?
At 7 days past due the invoice appears at the top of your screen with an AI-drafted reminder. One tap sends it by email or SMS, and Matey escalates the tone at 14 and 21 days.
