Questions about handyman estimates
Is this handyman estimate template free?
Yes. Open it in the estimate generator, change anything, and download the PDF. No account needed.
Should labor and materials be on separate lines?
It shows the customer where the money goes, and it makes a change easy to price: another hour, or another part.
How much deposit should I ask for?
Enough to cover the materials you buy before you start. This one asks for a quarter; change the Deposit % in the generator to suit the job.
Can my customer approve it online?
Not from the PDF. Send it from the Invoices app instead and your customer approves it from a link, and pays a deposit if you ask for one.
Is anything I type saved?
No. The PDF is made on the spot from what you typed, and none of it is kept.
