Carpenter Invoicing FAQs
What should a carpentry invoice include?
Include project description, labor hours and rate, materials itemized (lumber type and quantity, hardware, finishes), any design or drafting fees, subcontractor costs, sales tax on materials, and payment terms.
Should carpenters charge hourly or per project?
For repairs and small jobs, hourly billing ($50-$100/hr) is standard. For custom furniture and large projects, fixed-price or project-based billing works better. Always include a materials estimate in project quotes.
How do carpenters handle materials on invoices?
Itemize major materials (lumber, hardware, finishes) with quantities and unit costs. A 15-25% markup on materials is industry standard to cover procurement and handling time.
What payment terms should carpenters use?
For small repairs: payment on completion. For custom projects: 50% deposit, 25% at rough completion, 25% at final installation. For larger builds: progress billing tied to milestones.
How do I invoice for custom furniture?
Break the invoice into phases: design/consultation, material procurement, construction, finishing (stain/paint/lacquer), and delivery/installation. This shows clients the value at each stage of the process.
