What goes on a painter and decorator invoice

Decorating quotes often go room by room. Easy Invoice has the lines ready: Paint walls and ceilings, Paint woodwork (doors, skirting and frames), Fill and sand walls, Wallpaper stripping, Wallpaper hanging and Exterior masonry painting. If you would rather charge Labour by the day, put in three days and it does the sum. Materials (paint and sundries) gets a line of its own, so the customer sees what the paint cost. Once they say yes, the quote turns into the invoice in one tap.

Lines painters and decorators use most

  • Paint walls and ceilings
  • Paint woodwork (doors, skirting and frames)
  • Fill and sand walls
  • Wallpaper stripping
  • Wallpaper hanging
  • Paint stairs and landing
  • Exterior masonry painting
  • Labour · per day
  • Materials (paint and sundries)

In Easy Invoice these are a tap each, and after a few invoices your own lines come first, with the last price you charged.

Your own page, free

A good decorator's page is mostly pictures. Yours starts with a gallery, so a fresh hallway or a papered feature wall does the talking. Under it, list your services with a price, a "from" price, or "Ask" where every room is different. Reviews come next, then the area you cover from your postcode. The Book button lets someone ask for a quote visit, and you approve the time. A notice can say when you are booked up.

Questions painters and decorators ask

How do I quote for a painting and decorating job?

Walk the rooms first and write down walls, ceilings, woodwork and any filling or stripping. Price each as its own line, or count days of labour if you prefer, then add paint and sundries. Say what is included, such as how many coats. A quote with clear lines is easier for the customer to say yes to, and easier for you to bill later.

Should decorators charge by the day or by the job?

Both work. A day rate suits jobs where you cannot see what is under the old paper. A price per room or per job suits customers who want to know the total up front. Some decorators quote the job and keep a day rate for extra work. In Easy Invoice one line can count days and the next can be a set price.

Should materials be a separate line on a decorating invoice?

It helps. Showing paint and sundries on their own line tells the customer what went on the walls and what was your time. If the customer buys the paint themselves, simply leave the line off. Keep your receipts either way, because the paint you buy is part of your costs.
