Copy-and-paste blocks

  • Payment terms

    Payment is due within 15 days of the invoice date. We accept ACH transfer, card and check. Please include the invoice number with your payment.

  • Description line

    Monthly storefront clean — four visits, exterior glass and frames. A price per pane or per property for residential rounds, or a per-visit contract rate for storefronts and commercial buildings — 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, liability insurance and, for high work, your ladder or lift safety documentation available on request and shown on this invoice where applicable.

Getting the terms to stick

Storefront accounts usually pay on the monthly statement. If one slips twice, move them to prepay rather than chasing a small balance every month.

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

Per pane or per property?
Per pane for quoting, per property for the invoice, with the pane count shown. That way the number is defensible and the invoice is readable.
How do I bill screens and tracks?
Separately, per screen or per window. They take real extra time and belong on their own line.
What about high or lift work?
Its own line at its own rate, with the access method named. Safety work is priced work.
