The figures above are there to show the shape of a filled-in invoice. They are illustrative, not market rates — put your own prices in.
The lines above are the ones this trade bill fors most often. Edit the wording, change the quantities, and delete anything that does not apply — nothing here is fixed.
Labour warranted for 90 days. Parts carry the manufacturer's warranty. Concealed damage found once the work is opened up will be quoted separately before we proceed.
Using the same invoice every time is worth more than it sounds. It is faster to fill in, easier for a customer to read twice, and it stops the arguments that start with "that is not what the last one said".
The plumbing lines are a starting point, not a form you have to fit into. Edit the wording, change the quantities, delete what does not apply and add your own — then download it.
The PDF. It looks the same on every device and cannot be edited by accident. Word is for when you want to change the wording first, and the spreadsheet is for when you want to keep a running list of what you have billed.
No. The PDF, the Word file and the spreadsheet are all built on your own machine, and the page keeps working with the network off. Nothing is sent anywhere and no email address is asked for.
Yes, including commercially, and you do not need to credit us. It is a sample for general use, not legal, tax or accounting advice — check your state's requirements before you rely on it.
