How to Create a Winning Estimate

1. Start with Business Info

Your business name, license number, and contact details help clients verify you're legitimate and professional.

2. Break Down the Work

Itemize materials and labor separately. Clients prefer transparency — they want to see what they're paying for.

3. Set Terms & Validity

Add a "Valid Until" date so material prices don't catch you off guard. Include deposit terms if you require upfront payment.

4. Send the PDF

Download the estimate and email or text it to your client. A professional PDF closes more jobs than a text message quote.
