Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)
- Not listing disposal or tear-off separately.
- Not clarifying what happens if decking is damaged.
- Missing ventilation/flashing scope details.
- Not documenting cleanup (nail sweep).
If you need to change the scope mid-job, document it in writing and update the estimate/work order before the work continues.
FAQ
Should decking repairs be included?
Often it’s best listed as a conditional item: included up to X sheets or billed separately if needed.
How do I invoice insurance-related work?
Keep clear line items and include claim/reference info if provided by the customer. Avoid promising coverage decisions.
