Construction and Home Improvement Invoice Templates

Besides the templates above, this page has two more free files. The Excel invoice is a short worksheet with a line and an amount for each piece of work, plus a tax rate, and it calculates the total for you. The Word invoice bills by the hour, with columns for hours, rate and amount. They are general layouts rather than separate electrician, HVAC or painting templates, so edit the headings and lines to fit your trade.

What to include on a construction or home improvement invoice:

• the job site address and a project name or number;
• labor, as hours times your rate or a fixed price for each stage;
• materials and equipment rental on separate lines, so the client sees where the money went;
• deposits and earlier progress payments, subtracted from the amount due;
• change orders (extra work agreed after the quote) as their own lines;
• your license number where your state or country requires it, your payment terms and the due date.

Larger projects are often billed in stages: see our guides to construction invoices and contractor invoices.

In Invoxa you can send an estimate first, let the client approve and sign it online, convert it to an invoice, and request a deposit as a percentage or a fixed amount.
