Free Job Estimate / Bid Sheet Template
A good estimate shows the customer exactly what they're paying for, and it protects you from guessing later. This free bid sheet lets you price a job line by line before you start.
Page two spells out what's included, what isn't, and gives the customer a place to sign their approval.
