Description line
Built-in shelving fabricated and installed, alcove to ceiling, primed ready for paint. Labor by the hour or by the day, lumber and hardware at cost, and shop or fabrication time priced separately from on-site install — itemized below.
Late payment
Balances unpaid after the due date may be subject to a late fee as permitted by state law and as set out in our agreement. We will always contact you before applying one.
Deposit and scheduling
A deposit is required to schedule the work and to cover materials. The balance is due on completion. Deposits are applied to the final invoice and shown as a credit line.
Warranty
Our workmanship is warranted for 12 months from the date of completion. Manufacturer warranties on supplied materials apply in addition and are passed through to you in full.
License and insurance
Licensed and insured. Your business license, contractor license where required, and liability insurance available on request and shown on this invoice where applicable.
Getting the terms to stick
Custom work with a material deposit rarely goes bad. For builder accounts, invoice against the job number and follow their draw cycle rather than your own calendar.
Terms only bind if the customer agreed to them before the work, so put them in the estimate or contract as well as on the invoice. Late fees and finance charges are regulated at state level, so check what your state allows before you set a rate.
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.
