Payment due within 15 days. Licensed and insured — your business license, contractor license where required, and liability insurance.
The tax line is left blank on purpose: rates and rules vary by state and locality, and you enter your own rate in the generator.
Why it's laid out like that
The lines follow how the job was actually priced: labor by the hour or by the day, lumber and hardware at cost, and shop or fabrication time priced separately from on-site install. Each part is separately checkable, which is the whole point — a customer who can verify the bill pays it.
Deposit at order for custom pieces, balance on installation. Hourly repair and trim work invoices on the day.
Common questions
- Should I charge for the design or drawing?
- Yes, as its own line, especially if the customer might take the drawing elsewhere. Credit it against the job if they proceed.
- How much deposit on custom work?
- Enough to cover materials at minimum. Check whether your state caps deposits on home improvement contracts.
- Hourly or fixed price?
- Fixed for defined custom pieces, hourly for repair and trim work where the scope can move. Say which the invoice uses.
