Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)
- Not listing parts separately (customers dispute material costs).
- Skipping the job address or unit number.
- Forgetting to note access instructions (gate codes, shutoff location).
- Not documenting leak tests and final checks.
If you need to change the scope mid-job, document it in writing and update the invoice before the work continues.
FAQ
Should I include a service call fee separately?
Yes. Separating diagnostic/service call fees from labor makes pricing clearer and reduces disputes.
Do I need to show parts and materials individually?
It’s recommended. You can group small fittings into a single “materials” line item, but big-ticket parts should be itemized.
