What to include in a handyman quote so customers say yes
2026-11-08 · Jobsay team
A good quote is short, specific and easy to approve. Here is a checklist that works for most small repair jobs.
- Customer and address. So the quote cannot be mixed up with another job.
- Scope in plain words. What you will do, in two or three lines.
- Line items. Labour and each material with price.
- Exclusions. What is not included, such as permits, wall repair, painting.
- Total and tax. One clear number.
- Timing. When you can start and how long it takes.
- Payment terms and validity. Deposit if any, and how long the price holds.
Keep a price list for your common parts so you are not guessing each time. If you want to speed up the writing, Jobsay drafts the quote from your spoken description and your own prices; you check it before it goes out.
Jobsay: dictate the scope and prices, review the draft, send. Try Jobsay
