Tips for quotes that win the job
Break it down
Line items build trust. A single lump sum invites questions; a clear list answers them before they're asked.
Set an expiry date
Material prices and your schedule change. Thirty days is common; shorter if your costs move fast.
Get it signed
A signed quote is your client's go-ahead in writing. Keep a copy with the job.
Questions
What's the difference between a quote and an estimate?
In everyday use they're close. An estimate is usually an educated guess that can change as the work unfolds; a quote is a firmer price for a defined scope. Say which one you're giving, and what would change the number.
How long should a quote be valid?
Thirty days is a common default. If your material costs swing a lot, use 7 to 14 days and say so on the quote.
Can I turn this quote into an invoice?
Not automatically on the web yet. “Use this template” opens it in our free quote maker, filled in; when the client says yes, bill the same items in our free invoice generator.
