FAQ
Should carpenters charge by the day or by the hour?
Day rates are common for multi-day jobs; hourly suits small repairs. Put whichever you agreed in the quantity column (days or hours) so the maths is visible.
How do I bill materials on a carpentry job?
List timber, sheet goods and hardware as one or more materials lines. If you add a handling margin, include it in your price rather than as a surprise line.
Can I make a quote first and turn it into an invoice?
Yes. Billsprig makes quotes and estimates too; Pro turns an accepted quote into an invoice and then a receipt in one click.
