Quote & estimate pad — the printable form for pricing a job on paper
This sheet has line items, a deposit box, and an accepted-by signature. It has the structure a good quote needs. Write on it before you are back at a screen.
This is a blank quote / estimate — a form meant to be printed and filled in by hand. The table cells and blank lines below are intentionally empty.
Quote / Estimate

How to use this sheet
Fill in the client, a quote number, and a validity window first — “valid for 30 days” protects you from honoring an old price once materials go up. The line-item table works the same way a written quote should: labor, materials, and permits broken out, not one number.
Add the line totals up by hand into the subtotal box, then write in the deposit you’re asking for and what’s left on completion. Spelling out the deposit here — before anyone’s agreed to anything — is what makes it easy to ask for later instead of awkward.
Get the signature at the bottom before you book the job in. A quote a client has actually signed is a much easier document to point back to than an email thread if the scope gets disputed later — see how to write a quote that wins the work for what else belongs on it.
Once it’s signed, the job’s started — reach for the free invoice generator when the work’s done, using the same line items and the deposit already agreed here as a credit against the total.
Common questions
How big a deposit should I ask for?
How long should the quote stay valid?
What if the client wants changes after they’ve signed?

One sheet works. Six jobs at once is where paper stops.
This sheet is genuinely free to reuse forever — print it as many times as the job needs. BizBinder is for the point after that: when the same client, job, and invoice details need to live somewhere they can’t be left behind on a job site, and the follow-up they’re waiting on doesn’t depend on you remembering which pile it’s in.
