Carpentry invoice questions
What should a carpenter's invoice include?
Describe the scope, show the measure each price is based on (linear feet, square feet or units), separate materials from labor, list any deposit already paid, then tax and the total due.
How do I bill a carpentry job priced per linear foot?
Add a line with the quantity in linear feet and the unit price, such as trim at a set rate per foot. MyInvoice multiplies quantity by price and updates the subtotal and tax automatically.
How should I handle a materials deposit?
Request a deposit to cover lumber and special orders, then show it as a payment on the final invoice so the balance due is clear. Sending an estimate first, with online approval, documents what the client agreed to.
Can I add photos or notes to a carpentry invoice?
You can add notes and project details to your documents so the client sees what was built and what was changed during the job.
Can clients pay carpentry invoices online?
Yes. Each invoice can carry a secure payment link for card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
